Microsoft regularly offers three months of PC Game Pass for $1, so while the Twitch deal is intriguing for users of the streaming service, it’s not the best deal we’ve seen. It also comes just as Microsoft is starting to focus more on growing PC Game Pass.

According to The Verge, Microsoft is now focusing on growing PC Game Pass, just as Spencer announced that the Xbox app on PC will receive a “big” update in the next two weeks.
