Microsoft is offering an amazing deal on its Xbox Game Pass for PC, including the Ultimate version which even includes xbox live gold! Perfectly timed with the new release of Gears 5, it's even more enticing. Personally, I grabbed the game pass so I could play Gears 5 and eventually my search for info on the pass lead me to AWA's free monthly giveaway of the pass.
There's two distinct offers available. Do be careful browsing the website or even within the Xbox (beta) app which you download via the windows store. Occasionally I noticed the price listed without the deal even after clicking the join option. Be sure to confirm you're receiving the special offer when you go to check out.
$2 for your first 2 months of Xbox Game Pass (Ultimate) for PC (beta)
- Normally: $14.99/monthly
- Access to a library of over 100 console & PC games
- Member discounts and deals
- Xbox Live Gold - including its own set of deals and "Games with Gold"
- Gears 5 Ultimate Edition with 30 day boost
$1 for your first month of Xbox Game Pass for PC (beta)
- Normally: $4.99/monthly
- Access to a library of over 100 PC games
- Member discounts and deals

You can't go wrong with choosing the Ultimate edition (I did) even if you don't plan on using the console benefits. You're free to cancel / disable automatic billing the moment after you purchase if you would like, thus retaining your benefits until the end of your paid time. Although a bit late for Gears 5, you'll also get early access to certain titles with both game passes. It's still a perfect chance to give Gears 5 a trial run before deciding to purchase or not.
Scroll down the game pass page to view the pricing/version variants.
Enjoy!
