Citizen Sleeper was one of 2022’s biggest sleeper (sorry) hits, so when developer Jump Over the Age and publisher Fellow Traveller announced a sequel earlier this year, the news was naturally met with plenty of excitement. And though details on what platforms Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector will be targeting weren’t shared at the time, there is more clarity on that front now.
Game Pass $1 Offer Now Only for 14 Days Instead of 1 Month

Microsoft recently changed its $1 Game Pass offer to last for 14 days instead of one month. The change comes ahead of the launch of Bethesda's Starfield, which releases day-and-date on Game Pass at the beginning of September.
According to Xbox’s official Game Pass website, the terms for both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass now say new customers can try out the service for 14 days at $1, and then pay the full monthly price afterward. Xbox Game Pass for Console doesn’t have a $1 trial period and only offers an $11 monthly subscription.
Earlier this year, Microsoft confirmed it would put an end to the monthly $1 Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial offer, but after raising the price of the subscription, the $1 trial returned.

Microsoft has revamped some of its other online offerings as well. The company recently replaced Xbox Live Gold with Game Pass Core, which is billed as an “evolution". It’s another subscription where players can play a select collection of games on Xbox for $10 a month or $60 a year. The list includes Forza Horizon 4, Psychonauts 2, and Halo 5: Guardians.
A new carbon black Xbox Series S with 1TB of storage will be released on September 1 and is perfect for storing digital Xbox Game Pass games. It’ll cost $350 and comes just in time for Starfield, which launches on September 6.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Dev Says Launching Day One for Game Pass Was “a No-Brainer”
Attracting a sizeable playerbase right out the gate is one of the first and biggest challenges any multiplayer game faces at launch, and for developers trying their hand at experiences in that space, Game Pass has been a great way to get people through the door in the early days after release. Gun Interactive’s upcoming asymmetrical multiplayer horror game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is another game that’s adopted that approach, and according to the company, it was an easy decision to make.
