Microsoft’s Xbox division has teamed up with Twitch to provide an interesting new promotion for PC Game Pass. When someone buys two new Twitch subs or gifts subs, they can grab three months of PC Game Pass for free.
In a joint Microsoft and Twitch announcement, the companies say the promotion will get underway tomorrow (November 3) at 1 PM ET. It will run through to November 11 at 6 PM ET.

- Subs received through Sub Token redemptions
- Any other product purchases (Bits, Turbo, etc.)
Success
