The holidays are nearly here, and if you’re looking forward to a week or two of pure, uninterrupted gaming, then we’ve got an amazing deal for you. In fact, it might be one of the best Christmas gifts you can get for a gamer this year, if you’re looking to treat someone to a service that’s overflowing with options.
Right now, there’s a deal that bags you Xbox Game Pass for just $1 for the first month. The price will go back to normal after that first month, and it’ll renew automatically. So if you would rather not keep paying, make sure to set a reminder to cancel it. It’s also worth noting that the deal may not work if you’re an existing subscriber, although the specifics here are more vague than we’d like.
This deal is available on all three tiers of Game Pass. But if you’re going to only do one month at $1, then you may as well go for the Ultimate version.
This plan gets you access to over 500 games that you can play not only on Xbox, but also on PC, mobile, and even things like a Fire TV Stick. You also get access to a fair few games on the day they release, and it includes extra subscriptions like Fortnite Crew, EA Play, and Ubisoft Classics.
This is one of the best Xbox deals going on right now. If you’ve already got a console and you’re happy with your accessories, then there’s nothing else that comes close.

Why this deal matters
Xbox Game Pass was long considered one of the best deals in gaming, as it grants access to a truly absurd number of games for just one monthly payment. However, it’s gone up a fair bit since it first launched, and it means that deals are more important than ever before. $1 is an absurdly low price for this, and if you don’t like it, you can always cancel it.
