Game pas ultimate

Knapie · Aug 19, 2019

Hi,

Friends of mine said that if you take the Game pass ultimate deal for 1€, that this will upgrade your Gold subsription for the remaining time for just 1€ and just turn autorenewal off.

So I did a quick search on the xbox forum and there it says that your current xbox live gold will be upgraded to Ultimate for a maximum of 36 months.

Sweet deal I thought, so I bought 36 months of Gold because my Gold subscription was about to expire anyway.

So when I choose this option on mine xbox, it says that they will bill me 1€ for 1 month and for the other months 12.99€ and it asks me to give my creditcard data...

My question is, how does it actually work when I grab Ultimate? Is it actually 1€ for mine remaining 36 months and after that, it will ask me for the 12.99€/month? Or is it just 1€ for the first month and the rest of my subscription 12.99€/month.

I'm confused....

Thanks in advance!

:)

This value of 1 is promotional, it is for the time that expires, then the normal amount will be charged.

Hi Knapie,

Thanks for the clarification! So does anyone know what the conversion rate for new customers is at the moment? I can't seem to find it....

Many people have full 3 years Ultimate for 1€, but I don't know if this promotion still stands?

Guess I have to try it and see what happens.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I just wanted to add to this that when you do upgrade to Ultimate, just be aware that if you ever cancel it for any reason and you had some remaining time left on it, you will lose that time. As you're new to the Ultimate program, this is a feature
of it that confused a lot of people and some were upset when they realized this, so I thougth it might be good to let you know. If, for instance, you had many, many months of Gold and you joined Ultimate and the Gold got absorbed and converted into your Ultimate
membership, meaning that you had many months of Ultimate... and then you decide to click Cancel on the membership for Ultimate, for whatever reason. Well it will cause you to lose your Ultimate and all of the future months you already had on the Ultimate account.
Everything will be cancelled and lost. Just wanted to let you know so that once you have Ultimate, don't cancel it until you have used up any months that you have credit for.

Hi there,

your friends were referring to this deal:

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/07/17/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-xbox-game-pass-ultimate/

it's €1 for the deal, which will convert your current subscriptions into Ultimate and adds 1 month for the one you purchased for €1 to the end of that period (if that doesn't exceed the 36 months.

So if the convertion rate is 1 to 1 (which is/was a one time deal) if you have for example 24 months, you will have 24+1=25 months of Ultimate.

When the subscription ends after that 25 months in the example each next month will be €12.99 per month
