First, know that this trial grants access only to Xbox Live Gold features. It doesn’t include Xbox Game Pass. You’ll enjoy online multiplayer, free games, and exclusive discounts, but Game Pass titles remain inaccessible without a separate subscription.
Restrictions on Game Access
The free games offered through Games with Gold are only available for download during the active month. If you don’t download them within that month, you’ll lose access even if your Gold subscription continues.
Trial Conversion
At the trial’s end, your Xbox Live Gold subscription automatically converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel it beforehand. Microsoft will charge the payment method on file. Remember to cancel at least 24 hours before the trial expires to avoid charges.
Account Restrictions
One trial per Microsoft account is permitted. If you’ve used a trial on a particular account previously, you won’t be eligible for another free trial.
