Upgrading from Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate for 1st time using the 1$ offer

Hey there, KJones139

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

You should be able to upgrade to Ultimate by using this web link: Upgrade Your Xbox Live Gold Membership to Ultimate | Xbox

Once you have purchased Game Pass, you should be able to redeem your 12-month Xbox Live subscription, which would convert to 4 months of Ultimate. So, in total, providing you get offered the upgrade offer, it should cost you $1 or £1 depending on your region. If you have already entered the code, then you should still be able to upgrade. It will convert the membership over to Ultimate depending on what subscription you have.

Yes. After you join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can continue to redeem Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass for Console, and PC Game Pass codes. These codes will automatically convert to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate based on the following conversion table. Conversion ratio subject to change.

If you have never had an ultimate subscription, when you upgrade, all of your current live gets converted to ultimate; so whether you have 3 months of live currently or even 3 years, when you upgrade, it all converts to ultimate. Many take advantage of the
£1/$1/€1 upgrade offer to maximize the amount of live they hold (3years) before converting.

Things are different if you already have ultimate; adding a 3 month live code to your ultimate does
not then convert at 1:1. A 3 month live code would convert to just 1 month if ultimate. Likewise a 3 month standard game pass code would equate to 2 months if ultimate.

incorrect, the 1:1 conversion offer is over, if you have 3 months gold and you use the 1 dollar offer to upgrade to game pass it will convert your gold time to 50 days of gamepass ultimate, after 50 days your sub will end and thats it.

it clearly gives this warning when upgrading also

The 3 years will upgrade to Ultimate at a ratio of 1:1. So you'll have 3 years of Ultimate.

The other conversion rate is if you have Ultimate and are adding a prepaid Gold or regular Game Pass to that.

Hello @lcgf!

Yes, the offer is still available. If it is your first time to join the game pass, you will be able to upgrade the 36 months Xbox Live Gold by adding the Xbox Game pass ultimate for 1$.

There's a conversion rate when you swap from XBL Gold or Game Pass to Game Pass Ultimate, there used to be a limited time deal where it would convert it at a 1:1 ratio when Game Pass Ultimate first launched but I don't think that applies anymore. Before
you confirm the conversion to Game Pass Ultimate, it usually tells you how many months your current Xbox Live Gold subscription will convert to.

If you already have Game Pass Ultimate and want to use an Xbox Live Gold code then I think 1 month of Gold or Game Pass gives you 20 days of Game Pass Ultimate.

There's an FAQ at the following link, if you click on the question that says "After I join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, can I still redeem Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass codes?" there will be a full conversion table: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/gold/upgrade
