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.

This might be a good deal for some, especially if you don't need Ultimate - but I have generally been picking up non-stackable 30 day (Ultimate) codes for $3-$6 as needed. Got one today for under $6 from CDKeys. Never had an issue with them - tried a few vendors on Eneba and they always errored out at checkout via PayPal saying "the price changed while in your cart" which is bs.

Anyway, stay safe out there.
those non-stackable 1 month codes expire March 31st its from the doritos promo that's why they are so cheap i got 6 of them free off the doritos bags during holidays been using them every month once it expires

48.99/4 is 12.25 per month. Regular price is $17. So 4.75 per month savings.

Oh my bad, I forgot they raised the price!

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

Quote from Scott1977 :
so my core is up in a few days and I just bough this. I also had ultimate stacked. so before I bought 12 month of core and 1 month ultimate and it would convert all 12 months. it dosent do that now?
Microsoft changed the conversion rate for new / expired Ultimate subscriptions last July. 1:1 conversion rate is dead, it's now 3:2.

So 12 months Core will convert into 8 months Ultimate.

If already have Active Ultimate it only adds 4 months. if expired or new sub it converts it to 8 months of ultimate if redeem it first then Game Pass Trial or 1 month code.

I was able to get 25 months (2 years plus one month) of Xbox game pass ultimate for $91 total.

I started with an account with an expired subscription. (No current subscription to game pass ultimate)

I downloaded (on my phone) express vpn app and signed up for the one week free trial. I changed my location to India VPN.

I went to G2A website and purchased 3 x 12 month Xbox game pass core (India) codes, totaling $89

I logged into my Microsoft account on redeem.microsoft.com while on the India VPN and redeemed all codes for 3 years of game pass core. I now had a game pass core subscription with an expiration date of May 12 2027.

I then switched off VPN and refreshed my Microsoft account. It said my game pass ultimate subscription was expired and that I could get a 14 day trial for $1. I got the 14 day trial after which it said my current core subscription will be converted to ultimate with an expiration date of May 30 2026. Click ok. Boom I had game pass ultimate expiring May 30 2026. I then went and turned off recurring billing.

Don't forget to cancel the express vpn subscription also.

Thanks for all the tips. Hope this helps. If you don't have the 1 week trial for $1 offer, then just buy a month of game pass ultimate directly from Xbox store or buy a 1 month code from G2A or Eneba or wherever you like and redeem it, which shall convert your core to ultimate with a 3:2 ratio automatically.
