Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate subscription?

Hello MarkNoge,

Thank you for your post. I understand you are looking to upgrade your Xbox Live Gold subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you initiate an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription with time available for Xbox Live Gold, your Gold subscription's time will
be converted to time for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. For more information, please visit this page:

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate FAQ.

I hope this helps.

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

Hello Ivan,

Yes with the game pass on PC you will need an Xbox live gold subscription also. Currently there is a subscription called Ultimate game pass, this subscription combines game pass for PC and console, also has Xbox live gold.

Game Pass Ultimate FAQ

Thanks,

Game Pass Ultimate includes Game Pass for console, PC and Xbox Live Gold all in one subscription. So entering an Xbox Live Gold code, converts it to Game Pass Ultimate time.

Do not cancel Game Pass Ultimate as this will cancel all subscriptions. If you only want Live Gold, go to HTTPS://account.microsoft.com/services and ensure auto renew is
off and let the subscription run out. Once it reaches end date you can then add Xbox Live gold if that is the only subscription required.

Hello dannyheaton,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you canceled Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and now your son is unable to use Xbox Live Gold.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is three different subscriptions in one. It includes Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC. If you cancel Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you lose access to all three of these subscriptions. That is why your son is unable
to use Xbox Live Gold features.

Generally, users will upgrade their Xbox Live Gold subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This will convert your Xbox Live Gold time to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time. If you cancel Xbox Game Pass Ultimate after upgrading, you must

purchase an Xbox Live Gold subscription in order to continue using online features for your console. We hope this information helps
