If you thought this was too good a deal to be true, I guess Microsoft agreed. A short excerpt:

"You can no longer claim a trial of Xbox Game Pass for £1/$1, just days ahead of Starfield, the year’s biggest Microsoft launch.

“The option has been removed from Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass sign-up website (thanks, XGP). Now, you must simply pay the full amount for your first month.”

      Looking at my game purchases a year and as a pretty heavy gamer, I come out just over the cost of game pass. Big thing is that I get to keep my games without needing to re-up the subscription.

      Yeah right now when there’s a lot of games coming out it seems great, but middle of COVID I remember nothing was coming out, and I would have had to keep paying for the games I had already played.

      Nah, I’ll gladly keep buying them.
