An amazing deal if you can get it.
This deal just been widened to include the Delta ring.
This is a complicated deal. I suggest reading everything here, as well as comments below before attempting to claim this.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a new subscription service combining both Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold.
A limited number of Xbox Insiders on the Delta ring are invited to test Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for a special introductory price of $1, with any outstanding months of Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass on their account converted into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at a 1 to 1 ratio.
When upgrading to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the remaining time on your Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold subscriptions will be converted to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time at a 1 to 1 ratio each based on days remaining, up to a maximum of 36 months. For example, if you have 12 months of Xbox Live Gold time remaining, and 12 months of Xbox Game Pass time remaining, this will be converted to 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate when you upgrade.
Main Points. Read Carefully!
- Microsoft recently released Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions (basically Xbox Live Gold + Game Pass bundled together). This is what this deal will convert your subscription to.
- You are required to join the Xbox Insider Delta program, accepting its terms & conditions, and updating your console. Your console will receive system updates more frequently as part of the program, and the Xbox will likely be more buggy.
- You will NOT be eligible to redeem Xbox Live or Game Pass tokens (for a limited time, as this functionality is not available yet). Redeem these before activating this deal.
- Maximum of 36 months (combined Game Pass & Xbox Live Gold) is available for conversion to Game Pass Ultimate, any extra months will be forfeited.
Note: there is some eligibility criteria to join the Xbox Insiders Delta program. So check this. You need at least 1 month of tenure PLUS 20 XP insider points (Level 2). It’s not possible to meet this criteria today, but it’s worthwhile signing up for the Insiders program and accumulating XP in anticipation for further widening of this deal or future deals.
When you meet the eligibility criteria, follow these steps to obtain the deal:
- On your console, download the Xbox Insider App
- Launch the app, and enrol your console into the Delta Preview Ring (the Beta and Alpha Skip Ahead rings also work)
- Update your console (go to Settings > System > Updates. Then Update Console).
- Open the Xbox Insider App again. Navigate to Insider Content. Then select "Xbox Game Pass Ultimate"
- Sign up for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $1/month
- Enjoy!
Glad they included Delta, just signed up to the 3-month game pass for $1 and then signed up to GP Ultimate, subscription good till 4/15/2022.
Getting an additional 3 months of XBL for $2 is definitely worth it to me.
