Deal Details
For people who already have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and are looking to extend their subscription, this deal works out to about $4/month. But it requires using an India VPN.

Details:
- Buy Xbox Game Pass Core 6 Months India. It's currently $11.10 after fees from Eneba (scroll down on page for cheapest prices). You do not need to use VPN for this step.
- Then turn on your India VPN. One free and easy option is using Urban VPN.
- With your VPN on, get the code that was emailed to you, and enter it at redeem.microsoft.com.
- Microsoft will tell you that it's converting the 6 months of Core to 81 days of Ultimate. That's a pretty terrible conversion, but given the prices, this works out to 14 cents per day or ~$4 per month, which is a great deal for existing Ultimate members. If you don't currently have Ultimate, there are better deals with better conversion rates.
- Can buy multiple codes, which each redeem for 81 days of Ultimate. Microsoft will let you stack these until it reaches 3 years.

Thanks for posting this deal, was able to top off subscription after some messing about.

What worked for me was windscribe and completing the redemption process via mobile phone after switching regions under account info from IN to US a couple of times.

Final redemption happened with WiFi off, under US region, with windscribe always set on to India. I tried with Proton on PC and had no luck.

Worth the trouble to get solid deal if you have some time left on your subscription still.

That's also ridiculous.. MSFT paid almost $68bil for ATVI, They won't raise rates. That's the whole point. Why would they? That is not good business.

I repeat.. Game Pass Ultimate will NOT go up in price. Stop reading BS from people that don't actually play video games --> IE - all current "reviewers". Put this post on your Calendars a year out. woot



How would they help them out make money? This is a business. You don't spend billions to close out the thing you are counting on to make you money in the long run. >SUBS<
they've already hiked it like last yr or something and that wasn't even with the 68billion acquisition lmao. cope harder, gonna rip off xbox for all they're worth before they wise up.

Inflation right? Bread and eggs also cost most more then last year on average, are we going to debate that too?

People don't mind the PSN price increase.. especially just for cloud saves "LMAO". Who's with me? Nobody cares what you do though, use all the VPN's you like.. luckily you can do that, unlike PSN subs right? shake head Let's GOOOOOO MSFT! shake head

Just bought 10 codes and was able to extend my subscription from January 2025 to April 2027. Urban VPN didn't work in Brave Browser but worked on Firefox.

Not all VPN works same for everyone. I just extended to max using Urban VPN. I have used them the last 3 times.

Bought codes, turned on VPN, ate tikka masala, Redeemed like Kitboga would've wanted. Turned off VPN.

My MS account still shows US so I think the country swap only happens if you started your subscription with an India code+India VPN.

With a year of Ultimate left, about $100 to lock in another two years seems like a solid bet over hoping msft still allows these kinds of hacks a year from now so it's even cheaper.

My GPU is expiring in about 2 months... I'm curious if I should buy the codes and redeem now, or if it's better to let everything expire and then redeem for the better rate. Does anyone have an idea if these codes work for expired/non-active accounts?

Per the OP, if you don't have a currently active Ultimate sub you might get a better conversion rate.

So I bought 3 years worth of Core, which was 6x 6 months at around $12 each with fees. When I converted those 36 months instead of cutting them in half, I got 25 months instead since my Ultimate sub was inactive at the time. Better conversion rate, a little under $3/month.

I've since topped the remaining 11 months up to 3 years total at the same 81-day conversion rate most people with active Ultimate subs get, at around $4/month. Still a great deal regardless of the conversion.
How did you do this? My GPU subscription lapsed a few.months ago and want to get it going for the summer for my kid. Is there a particular order to buy India codes then gpu ultimate code?
