 ## GitHub Copilot
 
+### GitHub Copilot Free plan
+
+We're excited to announce an all new **free tier for GitHub Copilot**. Sign up for the [GitHub Copilot Free plan](https://github.com/github-copilot/signup), and all you need is a GitHub account. You are entitled to a number of completions and chat interactions per month, which reset each month.
+
+You can sign up directly from within VS Code.

 ### Copilot Edits
 
 Last milestone, we introduced [Copilot Edits](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/copilot-edits) (currently in preview), which allows you to quickly edit multiple files at once using natural language. Since then, we've continued to iterate on the experience. You can try out Copilot Edits by opening the Copilot menu in the Command Center, and then selecting Open Copilot Edits, or by triggering `kb(workbench.action.chat.openEditSession)`.
