Xbox Game Pass Ultimate - Bonus Subscriptions

Dalhia,

Game Pass is a subscription (Xbox Live Gold is a subscription as well).

Once any of those subscriptions end you can no longer play any game that you don't outright own but had a license to use while a subscription was active.

Your best deal in any case is IMHO using Game Pass Ultimate because it combines the features of the standard Game Pass AND Xbox Live Gold PLUS. It allows you as an added bonus access to EA games (through EA play) and to play Game Pass games that are available for a PC.

You can convert an existing Gold subscription into a Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

More information about how to convert is available at

Hello Packsteel,

Thanks for coming to the forums. When you have an active Ultimate game pass subscription, any code redeemed converts to Ultimate subscription. In this case 12 months of Xbox live gold convert to 4 months of Ultimate game pass. The ultimate game pass subscription
is three subscriptions in one, Xbox live gold, Game pass for console, and Game pass for PC. Here is the

Ultimate game pass FAQ for more information.

Thanks,

Brad

Ive went for the ultimate games pass as i was paying for both gold and game pass separate. It saved money for me and has the added bonus of the pc games but i wont be using that personally, just in it for saving money with both subscription fees and game
purchases

Your Gold subscription would've converted at a set ratio to Game Pass Ultimate, you will still have live gold but with the added bonus of Game Pass. To stop recurring billing sign into the services and subscriptions page of your Microsoft account, there
you will see that your live gold was converted to Xbox game pass ultimate. And you will see your current game pass ultimate subscription including when the next charge is due. If you go to manage subscription you will see payment settings where you can cancel
subscription or you can change recurring billing, if you turn off recurring billing you will get a warning that your subscription will end and it will give you a date. Just click yes then on that date your subscription will end and you can then re-subscribe
to whichever service you decide.

Hi!

The Game Pass Ultimate itself isn't in beta, but the PC Game Pass component is. If you're using it on your console, nothing should have changed as it has basically combined Game Pass and Live into one subscription but with the added bonus of PC Game Pass.

Have you tried rebooting your console? If your subscription is active it should recognise this. Also make sure you're signed into the account that purchased the subscription and games.
