However, as spotted by the Polish video game website, XGP.pl, the dollar-store equivalent of gaming subscriptions is now back.

Although the Friends & Family plan now exists in certain countries, nothing can beat paying bottom pricing to enjoy some of the best games on the market, especially at launch. It didn't help that Microsoft raised the prices of the Game Pass just a few months later. Many expressed disappointment at the end of this trial offer.

The timely return of this offer coincides with GTA 5 coming back to the Game Pass for the first time in two years. Microsoft's $1 trial for the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, a longtime fan-favorite, ceased to exist earlier this year as the tech giant went back to the kitchen to cook up other marketing promotions to help grow its industry-leading subscription service.
