Discount for ported games on the Xbox One

This offer usually needs to happen because of the game developers. Say you wanted GTA V at a discount then Rockstar would have to make the deal available rather than MS.

I've nevwr never seen anything that says Ultimate gives discounts for in-game purchases. The discounts would only be for games and add-ons in the Xbox store.

I think games typically do leave Gamepass at the end of the month. That game could have been an exception?

As for Gamepass discounts;

How do Game Pass discounts on game purchases work?

Xbox Game Pass members can save up to 20% on Xbox One games purchased from the existing catalog, as well as up to 10% off related game add-ons and consumables.

Discounts are based on the Microsoft Store price and on the game’s global launch date. Between 31 and 90 days from a game’s launch date, members receive up to 10% discount off the Microsoft Store price. After 90 days from a game’s launch date, members receive
up to a 20% discount. For game add-ons and consumables, Xbox Game Pass members receive up to a 10% discount from the day the add-on is released.

Game Pass discounts are not combinable with other offers and are not redeemable for cash; discount offers exclude titles within 30 days of launch; discounts are based on Microsoft Store price. Requirements, features, online services, or subscriptions are
subject to change and/or retirement. Discounts are subject to the Microsoft Services Agreement.

There have been a lot of reports about the discounted price no longer showing up, I'm am unsure as to why that is but it may be because the offer has expired. For now, read through this article:

After 4JStudios returns from their holiday break they will most likely post an update on this issue if the offer has indeed expired.

No, unfortunately, game licenses don't work between the two generations of consoles. Would be cool, though. I wish more companies were on board with giving previous owners of a game a discounted price on the remakes or ports.
