Since some seemed to miss the link already posted: here [xbox.com] is the current conversion chart for subscription upgrades and codes of various types applied to existing subscriptions.

Back when conversions for existing GPU subs were 2:1, I would have been all over this since it would have resulted in a net $4.92/mo cost (no sales tax where I live). However, since this will now only convert to 114 days of GPU, it results in a $15.52/mo net cost. The days of <$5/mo GPU for existing members are truly dead.

I'm paid up until October of 2027, but I extend to 36 months when a good sale comes up. The last one I found that was worth buying was 3-month GPU codes from Eneba/CDKeys for $26-28 (~$9/mo net cost).

So better to not have an active ultimate sub correct?





Correct. Let your Ultimate run out and turn off recurring billing to ensure it will run out, then just stack up to 36 months of Core and convert it again. You'll lose about 2 months of Ultimate if you stack a Core code onto an Ultimate subscription.

This Newegg deal happens roughly once a month, though, so don't worry if you miss out on it this time.

My GPU expired a few months back.

Should I buy 3 of these for 36 months @ $176.97?

That will be converted to 18 months of GPU correct? Is that the best way to do the math?

Thank you!

My GPU just recently expired. If this still works it's a great deal. I did something similar like 4 or 5 years ago.

Is gamepass core the same as PC gamepass? I don't need ultimate as I only play on PC.

Has this been the best price lately? Want to re-up to max after I got that crazy <$5 a month deal through April '27.

This is generally the best firsthand deal outside of warehouse stores, and these codes can be saved for a later date without worry of expiration.

Secondhand sites usually have these codes beaten by a good $10-20 for 12-month denoms, but those codes carry a bit of risk with them and it's generally wise to redeem them as soon as you get them instead of holding onto them for later.

Edit: This can't be converted to PC Game Pass, only Ultimate, which includes PC Game Pass.

Nice. Wish I could find a deal on PSN
That's why I bought it during their days of play. Got the extra tier for like $103, plus at that time newegg and Sam's was doing $90 for $100 gc. So I only spent like $93 for a year

As another poster noted: if you're only comfortable buying from official retailers (no grey market codes like Eneba or CDKey), this might be your new normal. Over the last few years, MS has inflated the MSRP of Gold/Core ($35 for 12 months of Gold used to be the normal sale price), and the significant conversion ratio changes in the last few months eliminated the final option for people who want to maintain a subscription at what I consider a reasonable rate.

The grey market is the only way I know of nowadays to purchase GPU for <$10/mo (if someone knows of another, please correct me). I've purchased dozens of codes from both Eneba and CDKeys over the years, and the only time I've had an issue was when I did some math wrong and wasn't able to redeem a code for 3+ months. Ended up getting a refund anyway.

Always worth noting: Microsoft Rewards is a good way to get store credit or GPU by using MS products and doing a few minutes of daily tasks.

If you're just looking to enable online play for console and aren't getting it to specifically access any Game Pass library games: yes, this is what you need. Game Pass Core is the new Gold (relevant MS summary [xbox.com]).

So if I don't have game pass it converts to 6 months?

If I have game pass it converts to less than 6 months?
