Can't access Xbox Game Pass after downgrading

Thanks for the quick response and clarification! I was able to cancel game pass and subscribed to gold.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

Just a friendly reminder though that Game Pass for Console and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate are different because Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Live Gold, PC Game Pass, and EA Play.

If you only have Game Pass for Console, then yes, the Xbox Live Gold subscription needs to be purchased separately.

Also, if you purchase Game Pass first, then it would be converted to Ultimate and if you cancel ultimate, you would lose your Game Pass subscription. So if you do cancel Ultimate, do it first before you downgrade to just Game Pass.

Which subscription are you downgrading to, is it Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, or Game Pass Core?

If Game Pass Core, you will only have access to just over 30 games that are part of the Game Pass catalogue, and online multiplayer.

If Xbox Game Pass, you will have access to all the Game Pass games on the Xbox Console, and no online multiplayer.

If PC Game Pass, then you will have access to all the Game Pass games on the PC including EA Play, and online multiplayer.

According to the Amazon website, there is a possibility to downgrade, just wait for the subscription time to end. "Downgrading? After you've upgraded, you can still redeem Live Gold and Game Pass Console
codes towards the value of an Ultimate month. To downgrade, just wait for your Ultimate plan to end and re-join."

Hi benfransen,

In effect, GPU is just enhancing your gold (so you get Game Pass as well). The only thing you would lose access to if you "downgraded" to Gold, is access to the Game Pass content (unless you purchased the games outright). Everything else would stay as it
is now.

Best,
