Also included in the membership is Xbox Live Gold, allowing online multiplayer for users. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has been around since April 2019 and has included the service on both console and PC. That means if you have three months of Xbox Live Gold or PC Game Pass when you pay for the upgrade, it’ll convert to two months of the service.Īccording to Microsoft, members can have up to three years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate stacked at a time. Instead, the upgrade uses a 3:2 ratio rounding up by a single day. However, the upgrade plan is now back for everyone worldwide just without the 1-1 conversion rate. Microsoft ultimately removed that ahead of price changes to the service. Originally, Xbox Live Gold members were able to convert their remaining subscription length to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just $1 on a 1-1 rate.

The $1 Xbox Game Pass Ultimate upgrade deal is back, though it is a bit different than in the past. With Microsoft ending the $1 Game Pass offer, we could see more movement on the Friends & Family plan soon.If you’ve been holding out upgrading to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, now might just be the time to do it. The trial is currently available in Ireland, Colombia, Chile, Hungary, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sweden but is yet to come over to the US or UK. Microsoft recently began trialling the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Friends & Family Plan in multiple countries, giving up to five accounts access to Ultimate for around $24.

It's unclear if new members will see another promotion like this in the future. The $1 trial had been around for several years and allowed new users to check out what Game Pass had to offer for a full month before renewing at $14.99 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or $9.99 a month for either Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass. 'We have stopped our previous introductory offer for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass and are evaluating different marketing promotions for new members in the future,' Xbox head of global communications Kari Perez confirmed to The Verge.
