UPDATE (July 14, 2023): I just received an email from Microsoft about my GamePass Ultimate account. Beginning on August 13 this year, the monthly membership price for GamePass Ultimate will be increasing. 😥 This may have also affected the conversion ratio of Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate. Some commenters have reported a 3:2 ratio being the new normal--so three years of Gold may only get you two years of GamePass Ultimate. I'll update this comment if I see this confirmed by Microsoft, but here is the email they sent out today:
"Thank you for being an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member. We want to give you details on how we are planning to increase our prices to bring you the best gaming experience.

24 months gold converted to ultimate is 17 months now
Wait what if I already have a long time subscription with this method, say if I had 36 months, would it just reduce itself?
@@Deano23258no way 🥲
thanks for the info
Yup. I just tied to convert 36 months. It's telling me that if I convert, it'll only be about 25 months of Ultimate. Bullshit.
Just did it today (06/21/2023) and can confirm it still works! Bought 3 years of Xbox Live from the Ebay seller you listed for $165, then bought one month of Game Pass Ultimate for $15.00. Now I have 3 years of Game Pass for $180!
So awesome, Evan! Really appreciate you sharing that it still works. I hope you enjoy your Game Pass as much as I've been enjoying mine.
Damn that's expensive. Here in India, you can get 3 years for $80 🫤
My subscription finished and I can’t do it again. Anyway to help?
@@wild-dhillon Im I’m the US I bought 12 3 month cards for $115. The bad part is xbox live gold convert to 2/3 ultimate. 3 years of gold got me 2 years of ultimate.
@@alexvillalobos7137 that's still a great deal for your location. Here in India, they further reduced the price and now with the 3 years of gold trick, we can get 2 years of Gamepass just for $50
Glad to see a new video!
Glad to see your latest comment, Chris! ✊️ It felt like time to just make something again. Its been a really busy and adventurous past year...
Here to report, it just worked for me even when people thought prices were going up today! 7/6/2023 thank you!
love the basement vibes!
So sad They remove the first month for 1$ method even if you make a new account 💔💔
its back but 3:2 ratio conversions
Update: this works, but gold gets converted at 3:2 ratio, so 3 years of xbox live gold is now only 2 years of GPU
Sadly this is true. I’d recommend buying 3 month codes. Bought 12x3 months = 36 months for $115
@@alexvillalobos7137 where u find them that cheap?
@@Super-360cdkeys
To do this though your current subscription has to be expired correct?
thanks bro im late to the party just recently became interested in other games lol bought 2 years on cdkeys for about $78 plus one month of ultimate game pass at 12 so spent $90 for 18 months. currently game pass is $17 per month so reg price would have been $306 savings of $206...again late to party but better than nothing
6 July/23. I bought 3x12months of turkish live gold and used my VPN to cash in the keys. At first I didnt get the 1 dollar offer , after I put in my live gold it showed up. Got 36 months of ultimate for 103 dollars , ty very much for the guide.
so if you put 3x12 months on turkish vpn and then buy without vpn the game pass upgrade for 1$ you don’t get banned? That’s what you did right?
Hey guys! To do this does my ultimate subscription have to expire first or do I wait it out for another 2 weeks just to be safe
Wait for it to expire
Do you know what happens if you bought and redeemed 2 of the 3 month live gold codes and had a few weeks left of a normal game pass subscription, and then redeem a code for ultimate? Does the Xbox live gold still stay on your account because it says cancelled and idk
@clashx8228 Hm, I'm honestly not sure what happens if you try to cross/upgrade from regular GamePass to GamePassUltimate... 🤔
@@DanKidsYouNot Ok thanks though
i just spent 137$ for 3 years of game pass ultimate in Dubai got a deal on live gold membership cards for 40$ a year and bought 1 month ultimate 😍
Mine is 12:4 months conversion rate why!?
This is probably a dumb question but since xbox live gold is getting retired soon, if I cancel the subscription I already have so that I can redo this for three years instead of one, do I get anything back or is that just 10 months that are completely lost?
@Risky_Crew It's my understanding that if you cancel, you still have to run out the rest of the months you've paid for. So I'm not sure you'd be able to crossgrade unless the account is expired like mine was at the time of renewal. All of this being said, Xbox just today announced they are planning to retire Gold and I dont think anyone knows exactly what this means for the future of Game Pass just yet...
@@DanKidsYouNot right...well thanks anyway!
This still works on July 1st 2023. Just did it today. I would do it soon though because GPU price goes up on July 6th and they could get ride of this.
Appreciate you sharing these helpful updates! ✊️
We still have this but not you only get 2/3 of the months. I did 3 years to 2 years.
He's BACK BABY!!
Haha, it's about time to just make some videos, isn't it? New PA content on the way--including footage for you! 😉
So once your gold subscribtion ends in 1-3 years you can just renew another 1-3 years of gold and still have gamepass?
Not automatically, no. You would need to follow these same steps again and see if Xbox still allows this conversion trick 1-3 years from now.
I just tried this and even without the $1.00 game pass ultimate, I only paid $130.00 for 27 months of game pass ultimate lol! Thanks my dude!
That's what I'm talking about! Thanks for the update that it's still working, and enjoy GPU dude. ✊️
Mine didn't work
My conversation rate was 12 months gold= 4 months GPU, what did i do wrong?
@@charlescharles2582 did you buy 3 x 12 months of Xbox Live gold and then 1 x 1 month of Game Pass Ultimate?
Can u help me out ?
I did this conversion a year ago, will it work if I do the conversion again with the same user?
Yes it will! This was my third time doing the trick in a row on my account. 👍
27 May 2023, conversion still works, I just stacked 3 years of gold and converted it to ultimate...
Congrats, that's awesome! Glad this vid is helping fellow gamers out. ✊️
How the hell mine didn't work?
@@charlescharles2582 did you puchase and redeem the gold codes? And then purchasing GPU
Can you also buy Xbox game pass ultimate from a third party instead of straight from the Xbox to save even more?
@fadya.3660 I feel like the answer is yes, but I'm not sure... haven't tried that myself. 🤔
do i need to cancel current GPU to renew this trick? Or can I add on three more years of gold before my current gpu expires?
To my knowledge, you cannot add more than 36 months of prepaid XBL Gold to any one account. That's the limit, but I do believe the conversion trick would still work.
if my gold subscription ends on 31/08/23 can i cancel it and buy 3 years of xbox live gold?
Let me ask you a question: I know about Xbox live it’s an equivalent to ps plus meaning enabling online multiplayer now my question is; if I have Xbox game pass, I see it’s like a library full of games, ARE THE GAMES FREE ? When I have Xbox game pass I have to again pay for the games before i download them ? That’s my question ?
No they included with game pass
Great question. YES, once you have subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate, you gain access to all of the games in the Game Pass library. They become free to play, no additional payment required.
@@DanKidsYouNot hmm
can i use prepaid 1 month gamepass
code or i have to buy it with my card ?
So long as you buy Xbox Live Gold first, before you enter your Game Pass code, then it should work.
@@DanKidsYouNot yeah i bought me a 2 years worth gold and redeemed it so its okey to use the 1 month
prepaid gamepass ?
I just got my Xbox Series S & a 1 year to Live Gold...
Can i convert this to 3 months of GP Ultimate?
I believe so, there is a new conversion ratio from Gold to GamePass. 👍
Just tried this today, still works for up to 3 years of GOLD. (Mind new conversion ratios)
08/08/2023
But you only got 25 months ultimate right? And you had to pay 3 years gold PLUS 1 month ultimate?
What if you buy a xbox gamepass code for one month? would it still transfer?
Yes. All you need is a one month Game Pass Ultimate code SO LONG AS you already purchased and redeemed your 1-3 years of Gold first.
@@DanKidsYouNot so like if I buy a xbox gamepass subscription code after reedeming the xbox live code from a website it will work?
ive just done it and it still works 25/07/2023 but yes they changed the ratio but add 3 month codes and it gives u 1 extra for recurring bill so each one gives 4 months so will max it out with 2 years 3 months worth then add one month of ultimate then just turn off auro renew when done
I'm a bit confused, did you redeem all your 3-month codes and then convert? Or, redeem a code, convert and then keep redeeming 3 month codes? The ratio seems to be worse than 3:2 when you keep redeeming gold codes while having an active ultimate subscripton.
@@NovaNox0475 redeemed/stacked them up until it maxed out at 3 years but it done it in 2 and 3 months worth because gave extra month for each one then one month of ultimate it converted it all into 2 years of ultimate at £8 for 3 month codes from cd keys then £8 for 1 month of ultimate so costs £80 for 2 years
@@NovaNox0475 subscription has to be fully ran out got to redeem all in gold first then ultimate
@@NovaNox0475 redeem all then convert
But if i cancel my game pass ultimate membership after a month paying £1, does that mean i will loose it and revert back to xbox live gold only.?
When you cancel Game Pass Ultimate, your account will still be active until your original renewal date. Whenever that date is/was for you.
Does this still work? If I buy 36 months of gold, how many months of game pass ultimate would I get?
As of the posting of my video, multiple others have commented saying it still works for them! Follow the steps exactly and you'd get 36 months of GP Ultimate for 36 months of Gold. 👍
It's does not work anymore for the dollar but if you buy 3 years and buy one month of ultimate you keep the 3 years no pro rated time taken
Does this still work if I buy xbox live gold for $9.99 directly from my Microsoft store on my xbox and then buy gpu to get the two months?
Yes, I believe that would work. However, you would get more "bang for your buck" if you bought a 3 or 12 month subscription to Gold and then did the conversion.
@@DanKidsYouNot oh ok so the Xbox live code would not be necessary right?
@@DanKidsYouNot and just to be 100% sure before buying, I would just but Xbox live gold, then buy gpu directly after, go to settings and convert Xbox live gold to gpu to give me full gpu right? Will there be an option on the Xbox live gold subscription that will tell me something like, do you want to convert your subscription or something like that?
Yes, that sounds correct. You would let your current gold plan expire, then buy in the order you wrote above. You would follow the steps in my video and it should work the same for you.
@@DanKidsYouNot I currently don't have a gold plan, would I just able to buy it and then buy gpu right after and convert Xbox live gold all at the same time?
Can I still buy Xbox gold codes even tho they discontinued them
I believe so... Xbox hould still honor the codes even though they don't extend the same GamePass conversions to them anymore.
So I can still buy gold and then buy ultimate it just won’t last as long right
My gamepass aint working. Did this trick, converted 2 years of normal to ultimate, but it doesnt work for some reason. But it does say i still have 2 years of ultimate...
Hm, that is super weird... it says you have GP Ultimate under your account subscriptions?
Can't believe I'm finding out about this now. Watch them put this to a end before 2024 comes.
Glad to have introduced you to, at least in time to get up to three years' worth! Hopefully, it's still going strong in 2024...
@@DanKidsYouNot I only did 1 year to make sure it worked. Van I now just add 2 more years to it??
Time to GAME (the system)
Can this work if I cancel my current gamepass and try or is it too late?
I believe it might still work for you, although it seems there is a new 3:2 conversaion ratio. People are reporting it no longer converts 1:1 as it did in my video. Tbd...
@@DanKidsYouNot I recently activated 3 years of gold and it should expire on July 2026, after trying the ultimate conversion, it states that it upgrades until August 2025.
Does this still work? Heard they were getting rid of it.
Still works as of video posting! I just did the trick myself at the start of 2023. 👍
@@DanKidsYouNot Nice just did it and it worked with no issues. Thanks for sharing how to do it.
Does it still work today trying to see if it does before I buy the gold?
Yes, still working! Enjoy!
@Dan Kids You Not do I have to make a new xbox one account or email or not because I'm confused a bit
Nope, no new account is needed. You would just login to your own account and follow the steps in my video!
@Dan Kids You Not but I have game pass right now till a month more can I cancel it and then go buy it again what would you recommend
Well if I were you, I would wait until my current subscription ends so I could keep one account. Just make sure you have Auto-Renew turned off for your current subscription. 👍
This does not work anymore. I mean the ratio 1:1. Gold to GP ultimate now converts to ratio 3:2 so keep in mind that 3 years of Gold will be converter to 2 years of GP ultimate. I belive the last day of 1:1 ration was on July 5, 2023.
Hm, someone actually just commented earlier today on 7/6 saying that it still works... 🤔
the 1:1 ratio only works for first time users of ultimate as an incentive, however, after the subscription ends the ratio increases
Interesting... did you see this announced officially by Xbox? Or somewhere else?
Does it still work or not?
@@igorosaurusApex it works but not on 1:1. Now convert 3:2 ratio which means 3 years of Gold goes to 2 years of GP premium or 9 months of Golds gets you 6 months of GP premium and so on.
Iam getting converted into 1 year ultimate from 3 years of gold. What am i doing wrong ?
make sure your subscription has ended
Its the new conversion ratio
@@Mentalaesthetic it got changed ? I was going to do this for the first time and I’m not sure if anything changed from watching this video
Someone just commented on this video last week saying it worked for them. So to my knowledge, there has been no change. 😎
does it work for 6 month xbox live?
I don't see why it wouldn't! Although to maximize your benefit (and assuming you can afford the upfront cost), I'd recommend going with at least 12 months. 👍
Hmm so I could pay around $90 for 2 years live and 1 month of ultimate, since they did away with the 1 month trial for $1. And only play Starfield for 17 months via Ultimate on pc (don't have a series X). Or I can pay $60 on steam and own the game.
Well if you're only looking to play that one game, then this GamePass trick doesn't make sense for you. I would say just buy the game outright. 🤔
This wouldn’t make sense for people who only want to play one game. That doesn’t apply to 99% of people though
It don’t work at least for me it didn’t
Does it work for pc?
Since Game Pass Ultimate includes both Xbox and PC, it should work. Although I haven't tested it to confirm.
$105 for 2 years of GPU. Awesome! Thank you for the tip! Now, I read somewhere I should turn recurring billing off, is that a Microsoft terms and conditions thing? Or just a preference so I can possibly do this trick again in 2025 (if possible)?
My pleasure! Yes, I turned off recurring billing in the hopes that I'll be able to do the trick again when it's time for me to renew.
Im tryi g this in a couple of days ill tell yall if it still works
Did it work then? Mine didn't somehow,am pissed off
Yes it worked for me
too bad im banned in microsft rewards lol
Whaaa!? Lol, how did that happen?
@@DanKidsYouNot multiple accounts in my microsft
Ah, that might do it...
worked
I mean xbox live only has 34 million game pass subscribers and 150,000,000 silver tier players so clearly Microsoft Xbox isn't doing something right and the fact they're not learning from it is insane and Xbox is just dying.
hey i am your 8k sub, do you gift anything?!
Haha, do you have an Instagram handle Oliver?
