1 Month PC Game Pass ~A$17.76, Then ₱175/Month (~A$4.53/Month) @ Gcdkey Eneba & Xbox Philippines

680

Please go easy, first time posting a deal like this.
Here are the steps I took to get the PC Game Pass subscription from the Philippines for ₱175/month ~$4.53.

  1. Purchase a global PC Game Pass key. Eneba
  2. Change Microsoft account region to Philippines.
  3. Add any payment method and set the region to Philippines, using a random Philippines address.
  4. Enable VPN to the Philippines. (I'm not sure if this step is necessary but I did it just in case)
  5. Go onto the PC Game Pass Philippines webpage and click the QR code beside the join button.
  6. Ensure it says "Philippines" next to the account email you want the subscription on. "It'll be added to [email protected] (Philippines)"
  7. Click next and it will ask if you want to turn on recurring billing.
  8. Select the payment method you added in step 3.
  9. Change the account region back to Australia.
  10. Enjoy.

Notes:

  • You can probably find a cheaper key on other sites but I chose a more reputable site and also didn't look around long.
  • I believe this can be done the same with the Xbox Ultimate Game Pass through Turkey which would roughly be ~$13.61/month. Just follow the instructions but change Philippines to Turkey.
  • The payment region lock does not apply to recurring billing so you are unable to purchase directly from a store with a different region from your payment method.
  • If anyone does this and has any feedback or additional/redundant steps please comment.

Thank you for listening.

    Would it not be better to get 24 months game pass core for $128(instintgaming) and then buying 3month game pass ultimate for $35(enaba) and essentially pay $10.85 per month for 15 months. For people who don’t want change region

      Yea that is true, posted this for the PC Game Pass though just thought it could be done the same with the Ultimate pass but it’s not as good value.

      • +1

        That’s why I upvoted the post because that is pretty good Price for pc only game pass. Good job finding out

    • Sorry can you please explain how buying 3 months of ultimate game pass gives you 15 months of ultimate?
      Thanks

      • +2

        I just did exactly what V003 said, but basically, you purchase 2x12 months of game pass core (I couldn't see a 24-month pass), and then by adding the 3 months of ultimate, it upgrades you to ultimate but respects your existing time by the looks of it.

        • Wow and it worked?!

          • @Sr1993e: just make sure that u don't have ongoing game pass ultimate. otherwise conversion rate of "core" to "ultimate" is not worth it.

            • @V003: Can you explain what you mean by this? What's different about this if you have existing ultimate?

              • @cretin: As far as I know 12 month of game pass core will convert to 6 months of game pass ultimate when you don’t have an active gamepass. If you already have gamepass ultimate and add the 12 months game pass core, you only get like 4 months of game pass ultimate added into your account. At that point why even bother with game pass core. Microsoft is s actively trying to close all the loopholes

    • 100% … i would never risk my accounts with this region change bs as with a subscription model you can walk away with nothing

      • has anyone veen been banned? dont think so

  • +3

    Why do you need to do step 1?

    • Step 1 starts the subscription from the Philippines store. There no way to start it without a payment method from the Philippines.

  • Thanks for posting. I thought about it but in my case I already own the two best Microsoft games - Flight Simulator and Doom …

    • -1

      Yehbut do you have bill gates simulator?

    What’s the go to for those who have now expired Turkish region xbox accounts who got 3 years of pass via 12 month Turkish vpn cards 3 years ago on gamivo/eneba?

    • +2

      Yea I’m in the same boat

      • me too, expires in about 1 week and looking to reup

    • +2

      Yeah, I got a week left on mine lol. Far as I can see, India 12 months core is 36 for 12 months. Conversion rate for lapsed sub is 2:1 so 72 for a year. Far cry from the 130/3 years but I barely used it. Want it more for my kids now

    I trust Game Pass is an excellent deal for many people, but for me its something I've been paying a bit for over a large amount of time and have maybe used once. Something I've had to learn — a good deal isn't a good deal if you hardly use it. :)

    • +2

      It was a great deal back in the day but I feel like there's hardly any new AAA games coming on there now. At least, compared to how many there used to be popping up constantly in years past.

  • Hi everyone!

    Just didn't want to get this wrong. I couldn't find Philippines on there. So I look for the next cheapest. I found India at 12 months core for $35.95 and one month Ultimate global for $24. So if I change my region to India, then first use the 12 months core, then use the Ultimate global, it'll give me 12 months of ultimate? If so, do I have to use global or can I use India Ultimate? Thirdly, what's the max period that I can purchase? Still 36 months? like 3 x 12 months of core.

    Thank you everyone.

    • I found India at 12 months core for $35.95 - where did you find this?

      • On the website in step 1

  • Do you need to make a new account?

    • No, I used my main account the previously had a Xbox Games Pass Ultimate Subscription from Turkey.

      • Thank you. Also, Why do you need the first step?

        • If you try the purchase the Phillipines pass directly from the Xbox store the payment doesn’t go through if you don’t have a Phillipines payment method and says currency mismatch. This way you add your card and turn on Auto billing which skips the payment country check for some reason.

          • @Sausageman: I get that, but why do you need a Eneba game pass key first? Cant that step just be skipped all together?

            • @Pulseless: The Eneba Game Pass Key starts the subscription in Philippines. There is no other way without a payment method from Philippines.

              • @Sausageman: Yeah okay. The eneba pass is showing as $24.49 for me, how did you get for $17?

                • @Pulseless: It looks like it's sold out. You'll have to look else where.

  • I got $10 per month through eneba without vpn. It's listed already on ozbargain

    • +3

      Yea, you can find the Ultimate Game Pass cheaper else where. I originally posted this for the PC Games Pass which I believe is the cheapest you can get it now. Might be better for people that don’t want to upfront so much money to a third party site. Also this is recurring so you won’t need to find more pass codes in x months and cancel anytime if you don’t want/ use it anymore.

    • Do you have a link to this?

  • Hi, OP, is the PC game pass method only work month by month? And Microsoft can change the price once they caught up, and you have to pay the new price immediately?

    • +1

      Hi, yes that is correct. But Microsoft gives notice of price changes a month or 2 in advance, so it give to time to find something else.

  • I didn't think you could change region back to Australia so quickly?

  • +1

    What payment method did you add? Ive tried using 2 bank cards now and they wont add.

    • I just added my WestPac credit card

      • Tried adding 3 different cards and none of them work :/

      paypal

    • I also had this problem. did you find a fix?

  • +1

    I have a xbox which no one uses. If I try the xbox ultimate and no one uses it can I just downgrade to the pc only pass the next month

  • +1

    Thanks op, subscribed without having to use a VPN and now downloading black ops 6! Shame linking your battle net account and microsoft account still doesn't allow you to play it thru battllenet so have to download the files again through pc xbox app, but i refuse to pay the $110 thru battlenet!

    • How much are you paying? I'm getting to $20 for Ultimate

      • +1

        purchased the pc game pass version. $17.70 ish for the initial key thru eneba and php176 ($4.53 ish ) per month after. for a yr which is a life of a cod game you're looking at 17.70 + ( 11 * 4.53) which ends up being 67 dollars so a big savings from 110$ for this one game alone, among the other hundreds on the catalogue.

        • What payment method did you use?
          Did you have the change the default Microsoft address as well or just payment address?

          • @Pulseless: paypal. just added a filipino billing (payment) address from a random generator during the gamepass subscription process.
            looks like you just can remove this address or change it to a correct one after you sign up as well in your microsoft account.

            • @havo: Sweet, did you add the payment in before or after using the Eneba code?

              • @Pulseless: would be after as first thing that pops up after you click the QR code as per op instructions is to add the eneba code.

  • Has anyone found anywhere else to purchase a 1 month PC game pass as the original link has gone up to $26

    • suggest checking the 'other offer' on that same page if you scroll down a bit , another one at $24. i found my $17 code there while the main one up top was $24.

      unfortuantely that appears to be out of stock from that particular seller so good luck, may suggest refreshing the page later to see if any other sellers get more stock

    Used Bing Rewards (lol) to get first month code for free. Added recurring payment with paypal :) Thx

    • Great idea I'm gonna do that too 🤣

  • Thanks for this OP…

    I do have a question for anyone who might know… If I can have friends from overseas like India or the Philippines who will agree to pay for the sub via their legit payment method, can I just skip the first step and purchase a sub from their respective locality xbox store page?

    • Yes, I believe you can just straight up purchase it from any regions store if you have a payment method from that region but I have never tried this before.

      • Thanks, mate. I'm eager to give this a go. My gamepass just expired, but I didn't do the turkey thing… I think I just got heaps of xbox live gold stuff from an online reseller ages ago, then converted with $1. That was quite a few years ago.

        Now to see if I can strongarm any mates do pay this for me.

  • Can I purchase a pc or even ultimate game pass trial instead for step 1? Also does our current pc game pass need to be expired?

    • I believe the trial version can only be added to accounts that haven’t had a subscription before. And yes the current subscription need to be expired for it to start in another region.

    • I got the "Xbox Game Pass 1 Month for PC Trial Global" from gamivo for arond $12 which worked with my current account but note that it "can ONLY be used if you never activated Xbox Game Pass on your account before", but worked for me even though im sure ive had the pc game pass before. I'm not sure if the other pc trial at gamivo for $1 less will work in Philippines as it's not showing up in the regions.

  • Wait so step 1 you purchase and redeem the global PC Game Pass key before changing region to Phillipines?

    • Yep then in step 5 you enter the code after clicking the qr

      • Can you get a refund if something goes wrong? Also, wondering if can do global PC Game Pass trial to save more?

        Getting down to $50 and under per year would justify for me being a light gamer these days.

  • So if Im already on gamepass ultimate month to month, do i need to cancel my sub first? a bit confused about what order i need to do this on

  • How did you change your account back from Philippines to Australia? I thought you could only change your region once every 3 months, therefore it would be a 3 month wait to change it back to Australia?

    • +1

      Just use the link in step 2. I changed it to like 7 different regions in an hour, trying different things.

  • I’m new to Xbox accounts, so apologies for this stupid question, but will this PC game pass work with x box cloud gaming?
    Or do I need to purchase a console game pass?

    • Cloud gaming requires a Game Pass Ultimate subscription

  • I love you OP

  • Sorry, but i am bit of a naive here and i am trying to get best deal for my kids

    Can some please help me confirm my understanding

    So if i buy 12 months of core game pass from india region for $35

    https://www.eneba.com/xbox-xbox-game-pass-core-12-months-key…

    And then add 3 month or ultimate pass from same region $29

    https://www.eneba.com/xbox-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-3-month-s…

    And change my region first to india and move back to Australia

    Will i get 15 months of ultimate subscription

    I don't have any active subscription now

    Will it work for all member on the xbox family account?

    Please help buying games for kids is becoming an expensive affair now so need a cheaper and better solution

    Thanks

      When redeeming Game Pass Core from another region it requires using a VPN, also you should not be changing the region in your Microsoft account at all (leave it as Australia at all times)
      Here is a simple guide https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxGamePass/wiki/index/gold-ultima…

      VPN ON -> Redeem Game Pass Core from foreign region (eg. India) up to 36 months
      VPN OFF -> Redeem any Game Pass Ultimate code for Australia or Global (Example) (or Upgrade directly from Microsoft)

      And the conversion is always down, so 36 months Core will go down to 24 months GPU (Or it might be 18 months now)

  • Sorry but not quite understanding what the play is here. I'll be first time PC and first time Xbox user. I'd rather not go to the effort of getting a VPN to change location but if it saves me heaps of money I don't mind. Looking to get Xbox Game Pass for PC for anywhere between 12 to 24 months.

    What should I do?
