How to Convert Xbox Gold to Game Pass Ultimate 

this still works however MS changed there policy for the upgrade to ultimate. Its no longer a 1:1 conversion but a 2:3 conversion so the 36 months or gold/core will only give 25 months of ultimate. Still better than paying month to month by a wide margin but just a heads up.

Confirmed 1:1 conversion from Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate working on 3/30/23 in the United States, although the $1 for the 1st-month deal is over. I bought 3 12-month Xbox Live Gold cards from Costco for $55, and paid for the 1st month of Game Pass Ultimate ($15) for a total of 3 x $55 + $15 = $180 for 36 months of Game Pass Ultimate. Works out to $5/month. Thank you for the video. Liked and subscribed. 👍👍👍

If you do this I recommend buying a ton of 3 month cards because for every one you get of those you get an extra month, so they're basically 4 month cards which makes it a lot cheaper. And btw it still works but it's not a 1:1 conversion anymore, I had 2 years of gamepass and it made it 1.5 years. Still very worth it.

Just tried and it worked exactly as explained. I'm signed up for GamePass until 2026! Thank you!

Just did this today. Still works. Bought 3 12 month Xbox Live Gold cards for $60 each.. activated them.. then converted to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Worked like a charm, June 17th. Only did one year in case it would not work, but I am happy to say it did, without any problems!

I have done this sense Ultimate came out and now i keep doing this yearly and shared with my friends for more value and cheeper then paying a higher price for Ultimate

Thanks I just did it and it works fine, I did 36 months 😊🎉 you explained it very well thanks again

still works, bought 3 years gold on cd keys upgraded to ultimate for 18.99 cad and have it till April 30, 2026

Just did this now and worked like a charm 😊. Bought 3 years of Xbox Gold Live and upgraded all 3 years to Game Pass Ultimate for $1!

well, bad news. Conversion ratio has changed to 3:2 (not 1:1 anymore), meaning that 12month of gold will give us 8 month ultimate. Damn, my ultimate sub ended today and I was looking for this for so long..

Even if you only get 12 months, you're still saving over $100.

This works just done it in uk just had to wait 24 hours after my game pass ran out to convert Xbox live gold to game pass ultimate now I have 3 years of game pass

Still works as of 3/22/2023. (I had already had Xbox Game Pass Ultimate before, it was 12€ for the first month.)

For the last year or so I've just been buying 3 months of game pass ultimate cards from the Dollar general yesterday my subscription ran out so I figured I'd give it a try I bought 12 months of Xbox live for $59 and one month of game pass ultimate for 14 and it worked perfectly but it's only July 1st 2023 and it gave me till September 1st of 2024😂 so that's freaking awesome

Works but they did change the conversation now if u do this u won’t get 12 months of ultimate game pass you’ll get 8months but still worth considering 3 months of ultimate is $40 and a 12 month gold card is 50

I’m looking into getting and Xbox so I need someone’s help. If I buy one year of Xbox live which is $60 and then I buy one month of ultimate which is $15. I get one year of Xbox ultimate gamepass for 1 year? For $75? And can the one month of gamepass ultimate be a gift card or needs to be a credit card?

🔥Make Sure your Game Pass has expired before you do this 🔥

It still works I just did it I won’t get charged until September 15 2024 for game pass thank you 👍👌💯

Still works as of 3/19/2023 👍 To answer a couple people's questions here: 1. Yes, if you have previously done this before, it WILL work again. However, you MUST let your prior subscription completely expire first. Mine expired at midnight last night. I did it today and it worked just fine. 2. I did it for 3 years again. I followed the instructions in the video here. Since I had already had Xbox Game Pass Ultimate before, it was $15 for the first month, but it converted the rest of my Xbox Gold into Game Pass Ultimate at a 1:1 conversion. So my next renewal date is 3/19/2026 (though I'll be surprised if this promotion doesn't change in some way by then, but hopefully not!) 3. In terms of total amount spent, it was $170 + tax for Xbox Gold gift cards (normally $180 but I got 2 of the cards at Costco for $55 each) + $15 for the upgrade on the first month for a grand total of $185 +tax for 3 years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

Still works. 1 April 2026 is my renewal plus the savings doing it this way is pretty good

Does this work if you have already used a month for £1 game pass trial before

They reduced it now to a 25 month Game Pass Ultimate from a 36 month Xbox Live Gold (Still a good deal being in the U.S. - I guess if you do take out the first month at $17 now .. it comes down to $3.67/month for 2 yrs)

This worked for me today 4-2-23 for three years prepaid, next payment date being 4-2-26. My original comment is after this sentence just in case anyone else has the same hiccup I did at first when trying to input redeem codes #2-3 ; "I was able to redeem one 12 month code but now when I try to redeem the other two it says "This purchase conflicts with one or more of your current subscriptions" --- EDIT: I am seeing online that this sometimes happens and usually resolves itself by the next day. Leaving this post for anyone else who has this issue so they know what to do." - This in fact did resolve itself the next day. Now go enjoy, fellow gamers! 🤘🎮🔥

Didnt work for me :/ im going to give it 24 hours then try and upgrade

Hey I have a question, if my ultimate pass expire can I do it again or it will only work once? Thx for all the answers.

Just did it May 30th, 2023 for two years and had to pay $15 for the game pass pass upgrade but very cool thanks for sharing!

How can i do IT when i already buy Xbox live gold

Okay so as of today March 26th 2023 they have canceled the $1 game pass deal for the first month and I'm just wondering if this affects this deal for the three years of gold converted into ultimate can anybody answer me this question if it still works please 🙏

its also cheaper to buy a xbox 1 month ultimate code on cd keys to save another 5ver when you are converting?

Thx for the well explained tips, i have a question thought, if you buy xbox live gold and than redeem a 1 month ultimate game pass trial code will it convert the xbox live subscription ?.

27 May 2023, conversion still works, I just stacked 3 years of gold and converted it to ultimate...

MAR 2023. This trick did not work for me. Only offers me 1 month for $1 and regular price after the 2nd month.

Great video. Straight to the point and very forward. BTW you could keep making a fresh account every month and buy ultimate for £1 and use instant sign in on that account. As it is signed in you can then go on to your main account and have game pass activated. Just make a new account every month and rinse and repeat. I'd recommend doing the gold conversion though as we don't know how long that conversion will last and how long the deal for £1 ultimate will last on new accounts

If I have 3 month Xbox live gold/the game core thing, when I convert it do I still have to pay $16.99?

Hhmmm.. Just done it and I can't upgrade fro a £1???

doesnt work now as of the end of march 2023 seen articles one from ign says xbox stoped the Ultimate for $1

j'ai une carte xbox live gold de 1 ans ca fonctionne si je la convertis ou c'est fini ? il faut xbox core maintenant non ?

Worked great thanks. 3 years for the cost of 3 discounted gold subscriptions.

Worked for me on 27th April 2023 throughout 2026, but I had to pay 12.99 EUR for the conversion (well, still an unbelievable steal!)

20 October 2023. This still work perfect, just got game pass core for 16 mths for like 40bucks. Thnx

when you were on CD keys, the live gold pass you purchased, does that work with Series X too? Because on its description it only says xbox One / 360.

Does this still work? Mine expires today and looking to resub for another 3 years

Never had a subscription and it doesn’t show me to buy it for 1 €

So if I buy two 12 month XBL codes online digitally and redeem it then how much game pass ultimate do I get?

Does this really not work for an account that Game Pass is still active? Has anyone with an active Game Pass tried this?

Im so annoyed, I was waiting for a delivery of 2 xbox live gold cards and 5 days went past until I realised they send you the Key, and when i bought the code the £1 deal was active, but now its going to cost £12.99 Fucking fantastic 👏

Quick question. If I just got a year worth doing this method 2 days ago will it still work if i brought 2 more years of live then put in the codes or is it to late already??

Xbox game pass ultimate cost $14.99 a month (except for the first Month which is $1) and it's too expensive but at same time I want cloud gaming so I can play some of the PC games on my phone with a controller.

De todos los video que mire en español este en inglés fue el que me funcionó buen video

I did it the last year and it worked! Just a question tho, is it necessary to buy at least the 1 month ultimate? Doesn’t work with the 7 days trial? Thank you!

Is it possible to do it if you already did the 1$ membership

After iv clicked on continue to upgrade my membership it comes up with a message saying buy now for £10.99 every month. Do I click buy now or close that window?

So I've done this (and I can't believe it) 3 years ago expired a couple of days ago actually. I accidentally left recurring billing on but thankfully because I changed something with my PayPal it didn't take the money and my account says expired. So that means I don't have to cancel subscription? Just leave it expired activate 3 years of gold again then convert it?

Guys does this work for a months sub cause I don’t wanna take a risk for 12 months or will cdkeys refund me

Just bought 2 years and it worked thanks But I had a question can I buy another 12 month gold for example next week and redeem the code will it add on another year of ultimate or no?

I still don't understand the most important part, what happens to the money? do you have to pay for the year of gold and after converting you still lose the money or do you have to pay for the ultimate only?

If I only buy 12 months of Xbox gold, can I buy more later and still convert them to game pass ultimate?

I've upgraded to xbox game pass ultimate thanks to this video but has anyone ever had their game pass quests locked out ? It's telling me to upgrade to game pass ultimate when I have it until 2026 !?!?!?

Say could this work if I had xbox live gold then bought say 3 months of game pass ultimate? Would it add them both together?

wait so i’ll just pay for 1 months and i’ll get game pass for the remainder of the xbox live gold?

Did this last year, just redeemed 2 years of gold but only 1 is showing up, Xbox support said I need to wait 24 hours as the second one is being delayed but shows as redeemed. Gunna have to wait til tomorrow for gamepass but it is showing the upgrade for £1 atm.

I have a question will this transfer my months to 12?

Works for me thanks so much! Would I be able to add another 12 months after doing this method?

Does this still work in 2023 march?

This dosent work i have a 3 month card and it still says i have to pay 18$

Great Video, Will this take credit from your microsoft account if you have it?

Hey. It is 6th May 2023, England UK. I have just done this. Purchased 3 lots on cdkeys, used PayPal pay in 3, redeemed the codes. Then upgraded to Ultimate for £10.99 (as the £1 offer I think has been done with?) and I now have GPU until 5/5/2026!!! Thank you for the easy step by step guide!

So my game pass ultimate ends on July 10th: if i just let it run out and add my 12 month gold card I should have the 12 months i paid for right?

If i only going to use the pc/cloud part, i wouldnt need to use xbox console to do this and can i use xbox gold live turkey which is cheaper and with vpn active to do this.? Please let me know.

Question today I got 2 6 months live gold subscription I already redeem one should I do the other one but tho it says it end on 12/4/23 and when I redeem the first it’s on 9/14/23 like what

I did what you done in the video and for some reason xbox live doesn't convert into gamepass ultimate, it only works for xbox live gold and it says I got xbox gampass core which isn't right, something just doesn't add up here, either the system is chainging things or the purchase from cdkeys isn't right either way its only 2 days worth so I'll be finding another way to do this but your video was very helpful I'm just glad I didn't by the 12 months like you did for 3 years otherwise it would've went wrong for me

does it work if i have 1 year left of gold and turn it into game pass?

So let my current game pass ultimate expire, then buy a 12 month xbox live gold card, and that will give me how much game pass ultimate? And can it be stacked or do we only reup after subscription expires?

I just got me 3 years xbox gold deal and redeemed it, the question is can i used prepaid 1 month gamepass to redeem it or i have to buy it through microsoft ?

Hello I would like to know if I am still able to do this because I do not see the option to upgrade, I currently paid for 6 months of Gold a few weeks ago & would like to switch my Gold to gamepass ultimate, as I'm not really playing games online with gold so I can be using that to play a lot of gamepass games I was playing & having fun playing plus with the additions that they're going to add on October 3rd there will be even more games for me to play.

So I just bought 12months of gold from CD keys for $48.99, went to the site to redeem codes, when you redeem a code it automatically transfers it to game pass ultimate, but doesn't give you the full 3 months. I only got to redeem 7 months worth from all 4 codes. It's still cheaper than the subscription. 7months of subscription is $113.3 BTW this is if you still have gamepass active. I had 5 days left so when you redeem gold it's an automatic transfer.

I go to do it and it wants to charge me for 14.99, my game pass is expired and I have xbox gold.

Can confirm this still works as of 8/6/24. Thanks!

I have series s with gamepass ultimate. If i go on the 360 with the same account i need to do live gold?????

I did it and it worked I bought 3 months of live for 6 bucks converted and Bam it worked

If you redeem a gift card the day it's supposed to expire, is there any way I can still change it to game pass?

AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING "The region in which your payment option was issued and your Store region need to match. "WHEN IM ABOUT TO PURCHASE ULTIMATE AND CONVERT THE XBOX LIVE GOLD? HOW DO I FIX THIS???

U can still do it if u have an active ultimate sub tho rite ? I was about to buy 3 month gold for 7 pound and convert. But i have existing ultimate.

Does this still work ?

Im getting a renewal date of just over 1 year (from 3 years xbox gold). Hmmm. Did i just missed out ?

transfring gold to game pass can you still play online ?

I did exactly this except I did just one year of Gold and it's not letting me convert that to Gamepass for cheaper. Do I need to do Gold for longer in order for the discount to kick in?

Unsure if it still works I have to wait till tomorrow to attempt it . Xbox website says 24 months of Gold only converts to 8 months of Ultimate

Yeahhhhh im getting verification issues and it auto canceled my order, tried Bestbuy and CdKeys, and it all did the same to me. Big freaking hassle for some reason. Idk if it's the web browser or what, because I used this _C.C._ on online purchases before, Netflix, Paramount +,Hulu,HBO, Showtime, Mercury ins. Etc.etc. It's aggravating because it should be easy, and yet it's a "big to due" about something that should be minuscule.

if my gold subscription ends on 31/08/23 can i cancel it and buy 3 years of xbox live gold?

When I press upgrade it takes me to the payment and says join should I press join?

Hi, I got a question, can I unsubscribe my gamepass ultimate and do this? Or do I need to wait for it to be expire. Sorry for my bad English

Why can’t I login it just keeps re putting me to enter my email lol I’m entering everything correctly anybody else have this issue ?

So, 6th months of xbox live gold should give me, 6th of game pass ultimate?

Does it matter if I’ve done it before? I did this for 1 year in 2020-2021 and I wanna do it again but I’m scared it won’t give me the upgrade gold to game pass ultimate option again

Can I ahve some help please. I redeemed 1 code for 12 months but the other 2 years say they clash with my current live service. Recurring bill is turned off . Any ideas would really appreciate it

I still have 6 months left, I can't add more untill those months end, but I'm afraid Xbox will not keep live gold conversion for Long. There is nothing I can do then.

i have 2 questions, does it work with game pass for pc and does the conversion ratio affect this procces

Does this still work after they removed the 1$ 30 day trial?
