XBOX Gamepass Ultimate conversion is back for £1

[Martynt74]

Yes, it's not £1 anymore, you need to buy the EU 1 month GPU.

Cheers, and i've got till the 18th?

If it gets near then i'll just convert the 2 years i've got applied at the moment, otherwise i'll wait until CJD give me another code to replace the failed one for the full 3yrs. Looks like it's around a 66% conversion from Core to Ultimate on the time stakes (3yrs >2yrs)

I think it's 18th....but I also read it's the 12th in another site.

I would do it before the 10th....just in case.. What's another few days?

 

[Martynt74]

Yeah, tempted to just buy a new code from CJS and open a Paypal dispute on the original, that way i can just do the conversion now. Just don't want to be stuck where i end up with an extra code i don't need.

 

[Martynt74]

Whilst i'm waiting for CJS to respond. Does anyone know if i can convert my existing 24months of GP Core to Ultimate, and then apply an additional 12 months GP Core card to it to extend the total months or does it cause issues trying to do it that way?

EDIT - As an update to anyone looking to do similar. Seems it follows a different conversion.

Ultimate > Core = 2:3 so you want maximum Core before upgrading to Ultimate

Adding extra Core months to an existing Ultimate membership only converts at 3:1

 

[Martynt74]

Ok done! Bought an extra code, but then looks like CJS had done something as it wouldn't let me renew the 4th code as i had maxed out the subscription period (logged into India so 36 months)

Converted to GPU using a month code, and then added the last 12 months pass at the shorter conversion rate. Ended up with around 29 months for £92 which isn't too bad i guess.

 

[ShortWarning]

Tried CJS CD Keys, 2 or the 3 India VPN based codes worked, so fingers crossed they give me an updated code to replace the other!

Just to check, i need to buy a 1 month GPU key to apply to convert it all, it's not just the old "Upgrade for £1" thing?

Did you have a current sub before applying them or had it expired?

Expired years ago.

I don't actually have an Xbox at the minute, this is mainly for my wife to play using an Android phone/Fire TV

This Eurogamer article indicates it's the 12th.

My Game Pass Ultimate subscription ends 18/09/2024, I've tried cancelling it early but the system won't let me.
I assume I can stack 3 Core Game Pass and convert with 1 month Game Pass Ultimate 3:2 conversion and just come up a few days short, is my assumption correct? If not what what's the best option for me?

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Dependant on which 1yr pass you're looking at, they've apparently stopped the stacking in some regions

I thought it was a worldwide thing they was changing the stacking plus conversion rates changing?

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Oh? Last time I looked it seemed to be anywhere where you could get it massively discounted.

Region wide now it had to come tbh but guess Ill be reconsidering GPU when my current couple of years ends lol

My son got the ultimate pass for £1 for the cloud gaming. Seems to run quite well.

Where is the best place to get the pass longer term?

 

[SuperOwl86]

Just realised my Ultimate expired at the weekend, What is the best option to renew?

3 x EU Core
1 X GPU to covert

About £108 get you 24 months you have until midnight tomorrow.

Taken from Resetera, but it sounds like the new conversion ratio has already gone active?

Xbox Game Pass Core to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate conversion rate is now 2:1 ratio instead of 3:2

Xbox Game Pass Core conversion ratio: Any remaining time will convert to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time at a ratio of 2:1 and be rounded up to the next full day. For example, 90 days remaining of Xbox Game Pass Core will convert to 45 days of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time.

 

[Raymond Lin]

They sneaked that in 2 days early?

Sounds like the price rises were definitely the 12th. I don't know about the GP Core to GP Ult. conversion.

So I assume the conversion is now a very, very small saving vs. buying GPU full-price?

A few did joke it was obviously a good time to bury bad news as everyone reacted to PS5 Pro.

Well, GPU is £12.99? Or £14.99 a month?

With the 3:2 conversion it works out at £4.50 a month for 2 years.

So it’s about a 3x saving.

No I meant at the 2:1 ratio it is now.

Current official prices seem to be 6m of GP Core for £49.99 vs £10.99/m for GPU. So now this is only a 25% saving. But I appreciate these prices are about to go up and there are grey market sellers for GP codes.

EDIT: Doh! meant to type 6 months for 49.99, not 12. Corrected.
