My son used his Xbox account on his phone. And it took me right to a screen with the 25 digit code for a one year subscription. In an effort to bring more people into the Game Pass fold Xbox frequently offered a $1 deal. Buy Xbox Live Gold individually or upgrade your experience with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to get unlimited access to over 100 games with all the benefits of Xbox Live Gold included at a better value (14.99 a month).
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has been a well-received effort by Microsoft to rope more consumers into the Xbox ecosystem by lowering the barrier to entry, especially when bundled with the ever so budget friendly Xbox Series S. Gaming can be an expensive hobby with the initial costs of purchasing a console or a gaming PC compounded by the need to purchase games and additional subscriptions for access whenever necessary. The conversion rate is no longer 1:1, instead it is now 3:2 and rounded up to the nearest day.The deal for a trial month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at $1 has resurfaced, and it can once again be used as an upgrade path from Gold or PC Game Pass to Ultimate.
Xbox ended the $1 trial month deal shortly before the recent price hike. Since the inception of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users have been able to 'trade up' their Xbox Live Gold and PC Game Pass subscriptions to Ultimate at a near 1:1 ratio using a $1 trial month of Game Pass Ultimate. For example, if you have 90 days remaining of Xbox Live Gold or PC Game Pass, this will convert to 60 days of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time according to Microsoft. The one big change here is that upgrading from Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate no longer has a 1:1 conversion ratio, as this deal now applies a 3:2 ratio instead. On PC Game Pass that remains $10 per month whereas, as noted above, Game Pass Ultimate's price recently increased to $17 per month. After your $1 month, your subscription reverts to the standard pricing. This $1 deal previously also included Xbox Game Pass for console, but your only options now are PC Game Pass and the more expensive Game Pass Ultimate, which grants access to both the Xbox and PC versions of the service. Xbox Game Pass is officially a little bit more expensive as of this week, but for anyone looking to grab a killer deal on Microsoft's service, you can once again get a month of Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass for a single dollar if you're a new subscriber.
