    What would you think about Game Pass credits (premium currency to buy DLC in GP games)?


    I'd really like to hear some opinions on this before suggesting it as a feature.


    I'm not a fan of microtransactions. I rarely bought DLC before and it seems even more awkward to me now that I don't even own games anymore because of Game Pass. I feel like a way to make DLC purchases, both expansions and in-game microtransactions, more appealing and accessible would be to have a unified currency, Game Pass credits. Having a unified premium currency would have numerous pros, on both a business and consumer side

    • you could give users free weekly/monthly tokens • users could exchange Microsoft points for tokens » when you own DLC for a game, even if you got it for free, you're more likely to come back to it (keep the subscription for Game Pass) • token could be discounted at higher prices, leading to people overall considering to buy more for higher value per dollar • as mentioned by many studies and psychologists, premium currencies are a renown concept for making it "easier" to spend money because you have less associations with it and it doesn't take you through the whole payment process and avoids the displeasure of spending money (can be dangerous, be careful. don't make your costumers addicts)

    I'm not sure whether to advocate for something like this or not. What do you guys think?

    Game pass

    Hello Game,

    Unfortunately, with game pass you are not able to use currency on your account to purchase or renew the subscription. However you can use this currency to purchase Xbox live gold, DLC, games and in game currency. You will have to add a credit/debit card
    to purchase game pass.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Ummm if its a currency card then no you can only buy from the dashboard with credit or paypal

    You can only use currency for dlc not subscriptions

    If its a apecific game code then yes you would have to wait till the bc is released to redeem 360 games on an xbox one

    will it be a premium permanent account and i be able to play on premium servers
    Game Pass games are not Premium versions..they are just the basic game.

    Game Pass games are not permanent...you can play the Game Pass version as long as you have a Game Pass subscription..soon as you cancel Game Pass, you lose access to it. Also, sometimes games are removed from Game Pass so you would also lose access if that happened too.

    Regarding Hypixel, it depends: if Hypixel is a mod, then it won't likely work as GP games generally don't allow mods. If it's just a server, then I see no reason why it wouldn't work

    Most game pass games do not include DLC. Some games come to game Pass at the same time as they launch DLC , in part to help it’s sales.

    You get a discount with GamePass Ultimate on DLC for GP games

    The cost for a service that includes all downloadable content would be prohibitive for the average user

    if your talking about the prepaid card with the money on it, you can not buy gold with that, you can only add gold by using your credit card to buy it from the xbox, computer, smartphone, tablet, or ipad, or you can buy the ppc with is completely different
    from the currency cards.

    currency cards can only be used for movies, games, music, and other DLCs
