Xbox Game Pass drops to $1 again in limited-time Black Friday offer

Fancy playing a bunch of games that just came out, for the low, low price of one American dollar?

Well, I have some great news for you, because Microsoft has just revealed that Xbox Game Pass is now available for a single dollar.

That means you can play games that just came out on the cheap, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl and Nine Sols (by the way, you should play Nine Sols).

Now, there are some catches. There always are. However, they’re not as bad as you might assume.

As revealed on the official Xbox website, PC Game Pass is currently available for just $1. Microsoft has actually made this deal available several times before, but it has been a few months since we’ve seen it back.

Take a look at Black Ops 6 in action below.

So, those catches. First up, this is only for two weeks - not a whole month. If you’re planning to take advantage of the offer, make sure you set a reminder for 13 days after you redeem it (so can cancel it and avoid the £9.99 auto-renew charge).

Secondly, this is only available on PC. Xbox Series S/X players won’t be able to take advantage of the deal on consoles, even if you use the same account you redeemed the deal through. It will only work through the Xbox App on PC.

Finally, you can’t redeem this if you’ve previously redeemed a different Xbox Game Pass deal beforehand. I can only tell this is the case because I’ve never used this deal, but I have used previous Game Pass deals on console - and I can’t redeem this through my Xbox account.

If none of those catches are getting in your way though, you may want to hurry up and redeem the deal while you can. There’s no way to tell how long it will last for and Microsoft have a habit of yanking it away with zero warning, so be quick!
