What happens if we already have a game pass core account but never upgraded to ultimate? New to Xbox and just put in a 12 month core code bought through Costco 2 days ago. Reoccurring billing is off. Can I add another 12 month core code and then do the 1 month ultimate?

You absolutely should be able to. MSFT just published an update to the conversion ratio: Core is now 2:1 PC Game Pass is 3:2 Gamepass standard / console is 4:3 EA Play is 3:1 Game pass core can go to 36 months so you can stack up to 36 months, convert with the 1 month of ultimate to get 18 months+1 for 19 months, and then extend GamePass ultimate through additional conversions.

@@RidirFamilyGaming Okay, so the conversion rate is better going from core to ultimate, than if you are ultimate and add a 12 month core card? Is that the logic of why one should wait until their ultimate account expires? Or does the new 2:1 conversion rate moot the bit about waiting? Update: answered my own question. Going from Core to Ultimate is 2:1 ratio in prepaid. After you’re already ultimate, the ratio is much much worse (more like 3:1 or 4:1 depending on the code). So it’s still better to load up on core, and then leap to ultimate.

Works great! Core is on sale at CDKeys and picked-up 3 years for $113.67. Converted to Ultimate for $0 (redeemed a 1-month Ultimate Pass had on hand from a previous TV purchase). Ended with 25-months of Ultimate for $4.55/month :)

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

Hi, I have a question about the conversion. My xbox game pass (not ultimate) just expired and im thinking of doing this gamepass core to gamepass ultimate trick. I also have a 3 month gamepass ultimate code i got for free. I would like to know if I should use my gamepass ultimate and wait for it to expire or put the sode in after putting in all the game pass core codes............ or can I just do this conversion despite my account never having acessed gamepass ultimate? Sorry if this question is confusing or a stupid one, I just want to use the least amount of money possible. Also I heard that the ratio had changed to 2:1, so is it still cheaper than buying gamepass ultimate by itself without conversion?
@RidirFamilyGaming
6 күн бұрын
So I’m trying to verify if the trick still works after Sept 12th. There is a LOT of different conversion rates they (MSFT) published. Right now it appears that best case, you add all the core time and then the ultimate and it will do the 3:2 conversion, at worst when you apply the ultimate after it will convert at the monetary value of the lower subscription. Example of $10 core or $15 standard would apply that much $$ against $20 ultimate. Meaning core would be a 1:2 and standard would be a 3:4.

If you purchase an Xbox Gold card at Walmart which they still sell which transfers over to core you cannot redeem it unless you give them a credit card or a PayPal account and they told me they will not allow you to redeem gift cards unless you give them a PayPal or credit card account even though you paid them cash up front and it says nothing on the card that you have to give them that information to redeem so I'm out $25

i currently have xbox core for a year that started in December of 2023, if i buy 1 month of ultimate will it convert the rest of my core into ultimate? or at least for a couple of months?

Yes it will convert your remaining core into ultimate at a 3:2 ratio so for every 3 days of core you have remaining you’ll get two days of ultimate.

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

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.

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
