Sadly, no. Conversion rate is best for 1 month and gets progressively worse with longer conversion periods.

1 month core is 20 days of Ultimate --- 3/2 ratio
6 months (180 days roughly) of core is 81 days / 2+ months of ultimate --- 3/1.5 ratio
12 month of core is 4 months of ultimate --- 3/1 ratio

Full conversion table from https://support.xbox.com/en-US/he...imate-faq:
1 month of Game Pass Core = 20 days of Ultimate
3 months of Game Pass Core = 50 days of Ultimate (1+ month)
6 months of Game Pass Core = 81 days of Ultimate (2+ months)
12 months of Game Pass Core = 4 months of Ultimate
24 months of Game Pass Core = 6 months of Ultimate
1 month of Gold = 20 days of Ultimate
3 months of Gold = 50 days of Ultimate (1+ month)
6 months of Gold = 81 days of Ultimate (2+ months)
12 months of Gold = 4 months of Ultimate
24 months of Gold = 6 months of Ultimate
1 month of Xbox Game Pass for Console = 22 days of Ultimate
3 months of Xbox Game Pass for Console = 68 days of Ultimate (2+ months)
6 months of Xbox Game Pass for Console = 135 days of Ultimate (4+ months)
12 months of Xbox Game Pass for Console = 9 months of Ultimate
24 months of Xbox Game Pass for Console = 18 months of Ultimate
1 month of PC Game Pass = 20 days of Ultimate
3 months of PC Game Pass = 60 days of Ultimate (1+ month)
1 month of EA Play = 10 days of Ultimate
6 months of EA Play = 40 days of Ultimate
12 months of EA Play = 2 months of Ultimate
Might want to check that math again.

can i buy more than one and stack ?
Yes, I bought 3. Redeemed and then bought one month of Game Pass Ultimate (from G2A - had problems with Eneba) to convert to GPU through 3/3/26. My sub had expired back in November.

Can someone explain the differences between the Game Pass Types, I honestly don't know/understand what the differences between all the types are.

So that's a little better than the 3:2 ratio I though you'd get with this conversion. But then there is the previous post with the big conversation table that suggests you only get 4:1?

Just trying to confirm what is correct. I've been waiting for a deal on 12 month core plans to buy 3 years and convert to two years ultimate. But it wouldn't be worth it to me if I only get 9 month of ultimate out of it.

It was 3:2. 36 months of Core to 24 months of Ultimate. The added month was for the month of Ultimate I bought on top. The other conversion rate is for those that have a current/existing subscription.

It's been a dry spell on deals for 3month codes - hope some discounts start up again soon so I can top off my GPU

If all I play is Halo w/ my friends on PC and they are on Xbox, and I do have Game Pass that will expire in Feb, could I buy this and downgrade to 12 months Core? I will need to buy my own copy of Halo Infinite correct since I am playing the one included w/ Xbox GPU. I really don't play any other game on it. TIA

Yes but if you wait to renew until you expire that 12 months core will turn into 8 months +1 month of ultimate, so 9 months. Might end up cheaper just to convert to ultimate again depending on how much halo costs at that point.

Core is basically what used to be Xbox live gold. You get access to online play and a few games.

Ultimate gets you all that + the following:
Way more Xbox games
Cloud gaming
PC games

Quote from gcstang :
is this stackable for conversion to ultimate or only one allowed?

Yes, you can stack. 3 of these is the max you can stack until you convert, which will convert to 2 years. Then you could add 3 more if you wanted to to get to 3 total years of ultimate.

I would only go with the initial 3 max, as this is not a great deal, but they have kinda dried up lately.

Shouldn't it convert to 8 months? I thought it was a 3:2 ratio.
only for inactive game pass ultimate when convert it if have active one it only converts to 4 months which is rip off.

Using cheap 3 month codes off eneba adds 50 days to active game pass ultimate. Best rate is wait for it to expire
