Earlier, you could convert all yourXbox Live Goldmonths to aGame Pass Ultimatesubscription in a1:1ratio at a small additional cost using aquick hack. But the recent hike in prices ofXbox Game Pass Ultimatefrom$14.99to$16.99changed the equation!

While the hack still exists, you no longer get the1:1ratio. It’s now3:2to accommodate the increased prices. Also, you will have to pay for 1 month ofXbox Game Pass Ultimateinstead of$1,as was the case earlier.

This left many concerned, and they were unsure if this was a glitch or a problem at their end.

But we confirmed it from many who recently used the hack. It’s still applicable, but the conversion rate is changed to3:2instead of1:1. Some are surely not happy about it, but the fact remains that the conversion is still a viable deal.

So, 12 months ofXbox Live Gold/Game Pass Corewill now upgrade to 8 months ofXbox Game Pass Ultimate. Add the other month of the latter that you paid for, and it takes the final total to 9 months ofXbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Remember, this hack is applicable for up to 36 months ofXbox Live Gold/Game Pass Core, and for maximum benefits, you should go with this period.

Besides, the transition fromXbox Live GoldtoXbox Game Pass Coredoesn’t affect the conversion. The annual subscription vouchers are available for$59.99on third-party websites.

You just have to pay slightly higher, but it’s still a cost-effective solution, as opposed to directly subscribing toXbox Game Pass Ultimate.

For those who don’t know, you can alsoget Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for freeby using reward points.
