For anyone wondering how this deal works out if you have an existing GPU account - you end up paying about $24 a month for 10.5 months (if you have to buy the Sam's Club membership which is $25 minimum).
If you have a Sam's Club membership already, this goes down to around $22 a month. This whole price hike just blows.

It looks like MS just reduced the conversion rates again. It used to be 3:2 (or 66.67%), then was 2:1 (or 50%) and is now just 40%. BOOOOOOOOO!

My conversion account ends in about a year. Is it best to just buy this now for the future?

1. Is it possible to load all 42 months, then convert, or you can only load up to 36 months?
2. Do I have to buy a separate 1-month GP Ultimate key to do the conversion?

I just loaded my GP Ultimate back to 3 years for about $8.68/month using digital cards purchased from Eneba (https://www.eneba.com/xbox-xbox-g...b-emirates) that were only valid in the Middle East + a VPN located in Dubai for activating against my account. YMMV

+ The free plan of Hide.me vpn for a Dubai IP address

The free plan from Hide.me does not include Dubai looks like?

proceed with caution. A few years ago i did this with turkey codes and it was a major hassle to fix my account afterwards.

Hey everyone, I used the India subscription trick last year and now have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate until January 2027. What would you recommend I do? Should I grab this deal now, or do you think something better might come along? I'm guessing the India VPN method doesn't work anymore. I'm not a heavy gamer—maybe play every few months—but I'd like to keep my subscription going as long as possible. Any suggestions?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank NickK3338

This only works on paper. If you're a current subscriber the conversion is worse.

I just actually did this and it converted the 12 month cores to three months.

The 6month core to 2 months ult and the 3 month core converted to 1.

That BS gave me a whopping one year for 222 plus the 25 membership.

247/12 makes this 20.58 dollars a month.

Instead You should stack 3 month pc pass(2 ult) for 36 or stick to the 6 month cores for about the same price. About 16 a month?

Dont get burned like me.

$91 total for three years is what that service was actually worth. Glad I was able to get it twice (well, $104 the second time) but Xbox was in a lull for AAA first party exclusives during that whole time period. ~$477 as the loophole deal price for three years is an insane escalation.

Is the deal dead? The only cards that appear available at this time are the three month core memberships, which are the worst value.

Gamestop is still selling the 1 month of GPU for $20 which might be better if you already have an existing subscription

So, I could use advice from someone who uses Gamepass.

I don't own this generation of Xbox, but I do have a Steam Deck. Would I be able to do cloud gaming with Gamepass Ultimate on my Steam Deck? Possibly play multiplayer games with anticheat (Destiny, CoD)? Lastly, most importantly, how much do you feel you have to play to get your money's worth?
You can do Cloud Gaming, but it's not seamless. You can configure it to launch from Steam but it's done through a browser, which makes putting in your credentials a pain. Never did get it to just remember my profile, so it's a consistent speedbump. You can run Game Pass games locally, but it requires setting up dual boot with Windows which is also a good amount of work. Can't comment on multiplayer games though.

I finally bit the bullet and just got an Indian Gamepass account. $7-$8 a month for ultimate, you get all the games the USA gamepass gets and 0 compromises. You can even play on your current gamepass account using the share method on windows. This is the best way to do it. Either a turkish or Indian account.
