PUBG, Hellblade, 14 More Games Announced for Xbox Game Pass

leventdepevent said:I can't find it either.

I got the 3-months for 9.99 deal on August 1st. That was due to expire on 31st October, with 29.99 being charged every 3 months starting 1st November. My prepaid card had 15.71 on it at the time so I turned off auto-renew on this before Nov 1st and was able to switch to a 9.99 per month plan to keep the subscription going, and turned on recurring billing at 9.99 per month (I did this on the Xbox.com site, as turning off auto-renew isn't available on the console anymore). I remember having a dropdown box available where I could choose something like 1-month, 3-month, 12-month (I can't remember the exact options, but options were there). Now the only option I seem to have available, both on console and on the site, is to "Extend" my current recurring 1-month subscription for 9.99. I tried turning off recurring billing to see if I was presented with more options, but I still only get the option to extend my current sub with a 1-month (no dropdown box).

I wonder if this is only available to people who were counted as subscribed to Game Pass before a certain date, maybe to stop people joining with the 1 month for 1 buck offer, then getting 6 months for 29.99. It's possible Xbox only recognizes my current subscription as being active from November 1st, possibly excluding me from the 29.99 offer (although I find it strange that I don't seem to have any 3, 6, or 12 month options available to me at any price). Unpredictable D (if you read this), just out of curiosity, how long have you been currently subscribed to Game Pass for?

Good news but I don't see the value in PUBG. It's a lost cause in my opinion. More a glorified techdemo in alpha stage then a game that is worth some money and your time.

I adore game pass, so this is a minor gripe, but I do think it was pretty pointless and added padding adding Ori and the Will of the Wisps on launch, without a release date...its an Xbox Exclusive so yes, it will naturally be on there.

Half price for 6 months was too good to pass up.

Living Legends said:Isn't it odd that a game released without its achievements live, though? Sorry if I'm being too dense, I'm genuinely perplexed, and, well, I don't want to start playing a game that'll have achievements added later. I might as well wait at that point.

I could of sworn I commented on this article yesterday but I cant find my posts anywhere!?! Anyway yay for Gamepass love it. Significantly shorter than what I thought I wrote yesterday.....

one of the best subscriptions i have ever joined! i am getting my worth of money and more, God bless u MS

well this is a bit weird

Unpredictable D said:Welp, there goes my theory about tenure then.

Apparently, the 1 dollar/pound/euro for 1-month is only available to either new members or people who cancelled their subscription before May 15th (to stop people cancelling this month and picking up the cheap month, I'd assume). However, I can't say if there's a date restriction on the 29.99 3-month deal for existing subscribers, as I can't find the damn thing anywhere. Either way, I would've thought that you are subscribed for long enough to be eligible for it even if there was a (for example) 'must have been be subscribed before October 31th to be eligible for this deal' clause or something similar. Can anyone here who has the deal available say if there's anything like that in the fine print? It's bugging me that I can't even see the deal anywhere. It is worldwide, I assume, not just US only? I guess all I can hope for now is an advertisement tile for the 29.99 deal maybe popping up on the Xbox One dashboard that will link to the option to avail of the deal, if I even can.

EDIT:

leventdepevent said:Hi, I just saw this. This is similar to me, except I waited until nearly the last day of the July 3-months for 9.99 offer, so mine ended on October 31st. I put a 9.99 per month recurring sub in place starting November 1st. At least the 6-months for 29.99 is showing for you - no such luck for me.

JBS 80 said:I'm currently on a free 3 month promo code which I redeemed at the end of October, and am able to renew for 6 months half off via xbox.com -

I am in the US. I do not see an area where I can see any fine print, that is all the information that I am given. This would give you a date restriction for the offer of January 31st, 2019.

Excited about Hellblade!

XenomorphFiend said:Thanks for this. Unfortunately for me, I still only have the option to buy or extend 1-month Game Pass for 9.99. If I click on Buy as gift (on console or on Microsoft.com) I get a popup screen that allows me to choose 3-months for 29.97 or 6-months for 59.94 via a drop-down menu. Picking one of these options and pressing continue on Microsoft.com makes the window disappear and returns me to the Microsoft.com Game Pass page (rather than asks me for a recipient's GT or taking me to a payment screen as I would expect). Clicking on the Buy [for myself] button does nothing. It's as if the button is broken.* On console, the Extend button doesn't give me any options. It just takes me to the payment screen for 1-month Game Pass with no option for 3, 6, or 12.

*EDIT: I solved my problem with the broken Buy button. I still use Internet Explorer like a caveman. The button works as intended in Microsoft Edge. Still only the option for 1-month for 9.99, though.

Or you could have done what I did. I subscribed from it as soon as it was available. Once I saw the Forza Horizon 3 sale for a year pass, I cancelled my renewal. Then I logged online and bought a year subscription as a one off to get the two free games. Then I went back in and reset my renewal. :)

Also, if you are in Europe, due to GDPR, you could technically request them to delete specific data they hold about you, in which case you could argue that you don't want any evidence of you having ever purchased a Game Pass Subscription and then a month comes along and has a few games you wanna try/play, re-subscribe as a new user since they should have complied with your request.

TrueAssassin86x said:Or... we pay for our own games and consoles and can only afford 1 console

Maw N Paw said:Did you mean to say unsubscribed? That's what I was planning to try. I turned off recurring billing and will let my sub lapse on November 30th. On December 1st I'll see what options are available for me to rejoin Game Pass. Hopefully the 29.99 6-month deal shows up then, although I think it might only be for current subscribers, which at that point I won't be. Earlier I came across a Reddit thread in which lots of people were having no luck getting this deal to show up for them.

Maw N Paw said:LOL. I admire your ingenuity, but that seems like an awful lot of hoops to jump through just to save a few bucks. And Microsoft would know anyway. Microsoft always know.

I've paid for game pass at full price since the trail period and don't see how people buy more games. I've just cancelled my preorder for mutant year zero to play with GP.

Edit: I hadn't preordered oops but obviously looking forward to playing on GP release.

Pathalogic, Mutant Year Zero, Aftercharge an d The Good Life are great additions.
