Way to go out with a whimper.

Blue Fire is a ton of fun if you like fast pace platformers and rogue-like games. The combat in it is simple but engaging. The platforming is what truly shines. The developers created a movement system that is both fluid and satisfying. As the game progresses, you gain more abilities such as double jump and dash (and more).

There's a main world that you traverse with varying environments. Nothing too crazy but lots of nooks and crannies to explore. Then there's special levels called Voids that you access from within the main world. These Voids are basically the special levels in Mario games where you're transported to an obstacle course and you need to make it to the end. These are challenging but extremely rewarding puzzles.

There's different outfits you can collect (all cosmetic I believe) and different weapons that help you tackle tougher enemies as the game progresses. The boss fights are nifty as some require you to apply your platforming skills to the fight.

I talk so highly about this game because it was a real one off purchase I made last year and became the first game I completed 100% in years. Just a fun game without any major bells and whistles.

Should be able to Convert Game Pass Core to Ultimate same way since it got nerf to 3:2 ratio


1 Month Converts to 20 Day Ultimate.
3 Month Converts to 2 Month Ultimate.
1 Year Converts to 8 Months Ultimate.

Yep, the 1:1 conversion was killed off last month around July 6th or 7th. 2 posts above yours mentions the new 3:2 ratio. Mine expired a few months ago and I slacked on getting new gold codes, so ended up missing out.

Your account will convert to XBox Game Pass Core and you won't lose anything. FYI - you can upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate for $1 and convert all of that Gold time into GPU time. You say you don't need the Game Pass, but surely it's worth $1.
If that's true, I would spend the buck for sure. How do I go about converting all my gold to it?

Someone else replied and pointed out that that deal (which had been around for 3-4 years) ended earlier this year. It's now a 3:2 conversion. Sorry.

Glad I reupped 3 years of gamepass just before the change. Managed to get it for right around $85 using a buddies Microsoft employee discount.

Will you still need subscription of some kind to play your old Xbox one gold games? I have a collection of hundreds, most I've forgotten are in the collection 🤣

360 games, no. Xbox One and newer, yes.
