"When you upgrade to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, we'll convert any prepaid time you have on Xbox Game Pass or EA Play subscriptions and apply it toward Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at the current conversion ratio, up to a maximum of 36 months.

Xbox Game Pass Essential conversion percentage: 40% of your remaining time will convert to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time and be rounded up to the next full day. For example, 90 days remaining of Xbox Game Pass Essential will convert to 36 days of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time."

Based on the code conversion chart. for existing GPUltimate, 12 months of GPEssential applied to it becomes 91 days of Ultimate.

However, if you applied 12 months of GPE first, then get GPU, it becomes 146 days.

Not trash taking the offer/post, I think it is a great deal for the ones that interested (like me!)

My question is: am I the only one that think that the prices for the memberships are already on the "expensive" side?

Kids (as far as I know) do not have that amount of money to burn month after month and adult gamers (in theory) do not have time to play all day everyday
Just my honest opinion

So basically it's $240 a year for conversion to ultimate with existing ultimate membership. Wow so expensive now. What happened to the $4 deals a month?

It seems like the only reason to get this is to convert over to Ultimate

I agree! I didnt realize regualr price is now $29.99 a month. I got a deal a couple years ago and paid it 3 years out for a couple hundred. Now this in a way this shows how crazy xbox prices went up when I got a black friday deal for $100 for the year for ps plus premium while GP essential is $120 for the year just to play online on xbox. Not even saying GP ultimate is the price of a console for the years cost now.

I agree! I had game pass for 5 years because I was able to do the VPN deal and I was paying about $80/yr for ultimate.

I haven't had game pass for the past 6mos and only got it this month because I'm home recovering from surgery and actually have all day to play.

Essential doesn't offer much in the way of games. If you play Fortnite, Ultimate includes crew. If not, Premium includes most games but you have to wait 6mos or so after release no day 1 games, it's the better value as far as conversion rate and price. IMO

That's still insane for a whole year. I was lucky enough to jump on the PS Plus Premium for $100/year the last two years. Xbox just sucks now.

So jump on this deal to extend ultimate? I'm weary on this being a good deal for existing ultimate users.

I have a few games that look for the network when playing multiplayer. Don't care to play against others, so not sure if it's worth it for me. I seen that you can play a few games which would be a decent perk.
