I constantly search for bargains on Xbox Game Pass, but it’s been quite dry since the price increase last year. However, I stumbled upon an old trick making a comeback that allows you to get 13 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just $8.45 per month! This tip was initially posted on HotUKDeals, but I’ve provided instructions below for our American readers to take advantage of it.
Please note that this deal is exclusive to those who have let their subscription lapse or have never subscribed before, so pay close attention to the details below.
Instructions:
1. Sign up for a new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial (if you don’t already have one). This will be $1 for the first month.
2. After your trial ends, do not renew it or cancel it immediately. Instead, wait until you receive an email offering you another trial for 3 months at a discounted price of around $25.
3. Purchase this 3-month subscription. This will bring your total to 4 months for approximately $26.
4. Now, go to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate page and select “Subscribe” without any trials or promotions active on your account. You should see the regular monthly price of around $15.
5. However, since you’ve already purchased a 3-month subscription, the system will recognize this and offer you an additional 9 months at the discounted trial price of $2 per month! This brings your total to 13 months for approximately $8.45 per month!
Step 1: Make sure your Game Pass Ultimate subscription is expired, if you have one.
Just to clarify, although you might assume your Game Pass Ultimate subscription has already ended due to cancellation, ensure it’s truly expired. If you cancel now, remember that your subscription will last until the end of the paid period, and this offer does not apply to existing subscriptions.
Step 2. Buy 3 codes for EA Play 12 months
In the UK discussion board where I discovered this offer, the codes originate from Amazon, but unfortunately, their US site does not have it in stock at the moment. However, the 12-month EA Play codes available on Best Buy should function similarly. Once you’ve made a purchase, they will email the code to you directly.
Step 3: Redeem your EA Play codes
You can redeem the codes on your Xbox console or go to Microsoft Redeem
Be cautious about agreeing to continuous billing or additional free months during redemption, as Microsoft only permits a maximum of three consecutive years. Any extra free months you claim will be included in this limit.
Step 4: Upgrade your account to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
After utilizing your 36-month subscription to EA Play, you’ll now need to purchase an upgrade to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which will cost you $19.99 directly from Xbox. If you’d like to save a small amount, you can acquire it for $18.49 from CDKeys, but in my opinion, the additional effort isn’t really worth it.
Step 5: Convert your EA Play sub to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
When you move to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, there’s an option to swap your EA Play membership at a 3-to-1 rate. This implies that your existing 36 months of EA Play will be transformed into 12 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, in addition to the month you’ve already purchased.
The total cost for these 13 months would amount to $109.96, which equates to a monthly rate of $8.45 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Normally, this subscription costs $19.99 per month, but with this offer, you’ll be getting it at more than half the price, although it does require a substantial initial investment to maximize the savings.
Is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate worth it?
Currently, the worth of Xbox Game Pass is more significant than it has ever been, even at its regular price. In just a short span of time, we’ve seen additions like DOOM: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Blue Prince, the Oblivion Remaster, timeless games such as Diablo 3 and Grand Theft Auto V join the Xbox Game Pass library.
To sweeten the deal even further, the highly anticipated Metaphor: ReFantazio is set to arrive soon, along with a partnership with Antstream Arcade that will introduce over 50 classic Activision retro titles to the service.
As an avid gamer, I can’t help but marvel at the incredible content that Xbox Game Pass is offering this year. This quarter alone has been their craziest release period ever! In a challenging gaming market where publishers and even Xbox itself are jacking up game prices to as high as $80 each, it might be wise to consider more budget-friendly gaming options if you haven’t already.
