Will there be an option to buy gamepass yearly like other subscription services ?

They removed the option to buy a 12 month subscription through Xbox over the summer. Anyone who had already purchased a 12 month and kept it going, would still get the yearly subscription. You can still buy yearly prepaid codes through retailers.

That's a deal meaning you purchase a yearly subscription, not a month for the 4.19. It's 4.19 a month by buying a yearly subscription.

What's the chances of getting it if I just call them and ask them for it now?

I usually buy gold yearly for $60

BTW - If I want to buy gold + game-pass combined yearly at a discount, will that be an option too?

$15 * 12 = $180 - I'd pay $125 or $130 yearly.

It's not actually available to the public yet so there's no chance.

I would suggest shopping around online at somewhere like cdkeys.com as they usually have some bargains going.

As mentioned,there is no actual release date for gold/gamepass ultimate so you could be waiting some time.

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help getting a yearly subscription.

Unfortunately, yearly subscription is not available on the Xbox or Microsoft store as you can only get the monthly offer on there. If you want to get a yearly subscription instead, I would suggest buying a token or card from other vendors since you can only get yearly subscriptions through tokens or card although this is not available on Microsoft store.

In summary, at this time only games on GamePass are cloud supported. If they leave gamepass, you will have a two week warning. Typically GP games are renenewed yearly to continue on the service, so looking at it's add date will give you a likely time it could, but by no means will, be removed.
