    So, how does it work, when I have game pass and gold seperatly now? gamepass is the monthly subscription and gold was prepaid and runs until october.

    edit: clicked it and tried. existing subscriptions are converted. I have Game Pass Ultimate now with the next payment in november. sweet.

    My gamepass runs out next month and I have gold for another year, would this add a month to both for £1 or is it for new folk only? Anyone know?
    Happy Gaming

    It add it together i had 6 months of gold and 2 month of gamepass and now i have ultimate till 3/2020 . I think you might need to be a Xbox insider so download that app before you do it.

    We have had a non-Insider manage to get a similar deal. Nothing has been confirmed yet so be careful, but it looks like this may be available to everybody.

    Couldn't be happier they made this available for everyone. My conversion worked out great and I am good until April 2022

    I'm pretty sure that ultimate gamepass also includes the PC gamepass..as I can freely download all the PC gamepass games

    Is the page not loading for anyone else. The tab just keeps loading for me.

    Edit: Got it. I had to go to the Xbox website and then search for the game pass ultimate, and disable my adblocker to get it to load to make the change.

    Just upgraded mine and I'm covered until June 2020 smile

    I also concur that Game Pass PC seems to be included with Ultimate - although in the store it still have me the "join" rather than "manage" option when I went to one of the included games (Football Manager) it said i could download it for free as part of my Game Pass membership clap

    Can confirm, just converted my XBL to Ultimate for £1 and am covered until March next year. It also automatically cancels any outstanding Game Pass subs.

    Here's what the description said
    Note: Purchase of Ultimate plan automatically upgrades your existing Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass membership(s) to Ultimate at a conversion ratio each based on days remaining. Learn how this works at www.xbox.com/gamepass. Future code redemptions are also subject to a conversion ratio. Conversion ratio subject to change. All conversions to Ultimate are final: Once converted, you cannot re-convert your Ultimate membership back to a previous membership. Maximum 36 months of redeemed Ultimate per account at a time, including any converted time from Xbox Live Gold and/or Xbox Game Pass (for PC or console).
    There is some people talking about it on Microsoft answer forms

    For those who use Microsoft (Bing) Rewards, get as much XBL as you can BEFORE upgrading. Any remaining months you have between XBL and Game Pass will be added to the month you purchase of Ultimate Game Pass.

    I was about to post this. Unfortunately, I didn't think of it until after I already bought Ultimate. Any idea what happens if you add like a month of regular gold to your account after upgrading? Or if you cancel and get a refund are you eligible to purchase it at discount again? (Probably not if I had to guess.)
