Super Cheap Game Pass Ultimate | Best Conversion Tip

  • Getting Game Pass Ultimate for $6.60 / month seems too good to be true, but follow these steps and you too can have the cheapest subscription to Xbox out there. And the best part? This is only a 5 minute video. Ultimately it took me about 45 minutes to do everything but that was because I forgot some passwords when I started.
    How you ask? By using Xbox's own system against them. This is why using a bunch of Game Pass Core keys together helps. Stacking them for 3 years is great, then when we transition to a Game Pass Ultimate we convert at a 3:2 ratio (so 3 years down to 2 years) but we get the awesome benefits of Game Pass Ultimate, which really is quite a bit..
    Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is an incredible way to play a lot of games for cheap, but $17 a month is way too much.

    Hi, i have a question about the 3:2 conversion ratio, is that applicable only if i convert from game pass core to ultimate? I.e. should my xbox ultimate subscription be expired for this ratio to work?
    I already have ultimate till Nov 24. So if i try to convert 12months game pass core to ultimate, it says i will get 4months ultimate
    That's the same info from MS website
    6 months of Game Pass Core
    81 days of Ultimate (2+ months)
    12 months of Game Pass Core
    4 months of Ultimate
    24 months of Game Pass Core
    6 months of Ultimate
    Am i missing something here, this is 3:1 not 3:2

    • @RidirFamilyGaming
      @RidirFamilyGaming  Місяць тому +6

      If you have an existing ultimate subscription all conversions are 3:1 and not 3:2. So letting your account expire/ cancel will be the cheaper option.

    This is boss. FYI the prompts and screens have changed. It does not give the button slider for the 1 additional month when redeeming the 12 month core codes, only when you go to redeem the ultimate code now. I redeemed 2 x 12 month core, then the 1 month ultimate. After the 1 month ultimate, it did offer the recurring button for 1 free extra month. After that, it did not give me that would you like to convert or any message. I went back to services and subscribtions and i now have ultimate game pass through December of 2025. Total Cost - 12mth xbox core on cdkeys 42.89 x 2 + 1 month ultimate on cdkeys 10.99 = 96.77 for 17 months. (would have been 340 if paying 20 a month). Big win. Will share this video and liked/subbed

      I'd just wait until GPass Ultimate expires and then redeem all the GPass Core months, then I'd redeem 1 month of GPass Ultimate. I read that adding GPass Core to active GPass Ultimate subscription does the conversion in 3:1 scale. To make it work in 3:2 scale you have to let GPass Ultimate expire first, then redeem all GPass Core months you want, then redeem 1 GPass Ultimate month, and it'll surely do it in 3:2 scale

    • @Alexx1391
      @Alexx1391 6 місяців тому +2

      Adding 8 months of Core while Ultimate is active (not yet expired) will convert the 8 Core months into almost 3 Ultimate months. This because if you redeem Core when Ultimate is active it converts it in 3:1 scale, instead of 3:2 scale. The 3:2 scale works only if you redeem the Core months while Ultimate is not active, and then you redeem 1 Ultimate month (you can also start the Ultimate subscription from Xbox store, without buying/redeeming an Ultimate gift card. Just remember to disable auto renew after buying it from the Xbox store). If you do this method to get the 3:2 scale conversion you'll get about 5 months of Ultimate, instead of less than 3

      You can absolutely do it at 12 months. You can get better pricing ratio at 36 months of core but the real trick there is using a company that gets the codes for cheap like cdkeys

    I'm a bit confused about the purpose of purchasing 3 years of Core and 1 month of Ultimate. Does the 1 month of Ultimate at the end somehow extend the Ultimate benefits to cover the entire 3 years?
    Also woot is having a decent sale. three years of core for $116.97 and one month of ulitmate for $11.79, I assume this will work as well?

    • @RidirFamilyGaming
      @RidirFamilyGaming  Місяць тому +1

      The 1 month of ultimate at the end converts your 36 months of core to ultimate at a 3:2 rate. Turning 36 months to 24 months (3 years to 2) and then adding the 1 month you paid of ultimate for 25 total months of ultimate.
      That sale is amazing. About $50 less than I spent I believe making it an amazing value for ultimate.

    • @RidirFamilyGaming

      The console trial for $1 will be the cheapest way to convert all of that time to ultimate so I recommend that.
      You can add up to 36 months of core before converting and it will go from 36 to 24 months of ultimate, then add in your ultimate code you redeemed. (Or 18 will convert to 12 months.)
