Since it’s inception, Microsoft has offered a great conversion deal on Game Pass Ultimate and XBL Gold. This deal allowed users to stack up to 3 years of Xbox Live Gold and convert it to 3 years of Game Pass Ultimate. This was a huge win for customers, as it offered a significant discount on the cost of Game Pass Ultimate.
The good news is that the $1 Game Pass Ultimate trial is back. This means that you can try Game Pass Ultimate for just $1, and if you decide to keep it, you’ll be able to convert your existing Xbox Live Gold subscription to Game Pass Ultimate at a discounted rate.
The bad news is that the conversion rate has gone down. What was once a 1:1 conversion rate (3 years to 3 years) is now a 3:2 conversion rate (3 years to 2 years of Ultimate). This means that if you have 3 years of Xbox Live Gold, you’ll only be able to convert it to 2 years of Game Pass Ultimate.
While this is still a great deal, it’s not as good as it used to be. If you’re planning on taking advantage of this deal, you’ll want to do so sooner rather than later, as the conversion rate could change again in the future.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- The $1 Game Pass Ultimate trial is only available for new subscribers.
- Returning members will still get a great deal, you just have to stack up and pay a one month GPU cost
- If you have any remaining Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass time when you convert your subscription, that time will be added to your Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Overall, this is still a great deal for gamers who want to save money on Game Pass Ultimate. However, it’s important to be aware of the changes to the conversion rate so that you can make the most of this offer.
