We said a year ago that Game Pass can't stay this good a deal forever, and sure enough we were (eventually) right: Microsoft announced in March that the $1 Game Pass Ultimate trial, which offered a month of access to more than 100 games for a buck, is going away. That's the bad news: The good news is that even at regular price it's still a hell of a good deal (for as long as it lasts, anyway—sooner or later, inflation comes for everything), and now you can get it in 40 new countries.
In a welcome video, Xbox boss Phil Spencer reminded everyone that PC Game Pass also includes EA Play, Electronic Arts' subscription-based gaming service.
