Hey, for $1 can't go wrong, right? You gonna try to get in on this? I think it might just be for new subscribers and past subscribers only. I've had trials before and it's showing $1 for me in checkout.

Still?

You sure keep up with your GamePass.

Subscriber retention must be incredibly low.

new account…download-gamespass games and access gold from it,and play from your main account.

£1..3 month…sorted

My sub is ending in June or July. Anybody know if they're still doing the upgrade your entire Gold membership (up to 3 years) to Ultimate for $1? That was a pretty awesome deal.

Cool. Time for people to make new profiles to take advantage of this and artificially boost the numbers.

Well, at least we know why.

Dont waste your opportunity if you know for sure you want GP!

Buy 3x 12month live cards from amazon, claim them all.

Do not accept any of the free months they offer when you claim!

Then upgrade from XBOX Live to Ultimate GP for $1... you will lock in 3 years worth of Gamepass for a good price. My next bill comes in October of 2023.

If you accept the free month, you will get over the 36 month cap, and you will have to wait a month to claim your 3rd Xbox live pass. Also I am not sure if you can upgrade more than once, so maybe the $1 trial will no longer allow you to upgrade... but I am not 100 on this part,

Lots of good stuff on there for sure. Worth a look.

Is this for new customers only?

Always.

You meaning GP.

@enzyme36: You sure you got 3 years of ultimate?

I am offended because my middle name starts with G. 😪

Ultimate is bundled heavily with Xbox bundles over here. Just MS fudging the numbers as always.

yeah this a common thing.. load up with 3 years of Gold and use the $1 upgrade to convert it all to GPU. If you do not have the $1 offer you can still load up with three years of Gold and then buy one month of GPU to convert it all

100%

I was shocked too when it actually worked. I didnt buy gamepass until the ultimate was just releasing.

This link will convert whatever GOLD membership you have into UGP. Just make sure you take advantage of the 36 month cap.

I made the unfortunate mistake of accepting the free month, had to sit on my last card for a month.

gamepass and insomnia

keeping cows up at night

HaH

Time to boost those "subscriber numbers".

I'd love to but I'm waiting on Age of Empires/Deathloop/Psychonauts.

Nothing that catches my interest atm.

new subs only, no oldies :(

Or try to get new subs and eventually lead up to more revenue...you know, like how most sub services start out or did you think Netflix, Disney + and others all started out at full price.

I know, you cows hate good deals.

I never did the 3 month, but I have had like shorter trials and it's showing that I can get it. Still deciding if I want to tho haha. The only game I would be curious to try is The Medium.

@enzyme36: @regnaston: Well damn, that's interesting to know. Thanks for sharing✌

Good deal. I'll get it when they do PC streaming. Pointless for me right now since I can't run most of the games on my PC.

Yeah think I had 3month ultimate deal earlier, that might be why

If Village or ME Legendary were there i'dve got it.

New members only.

There's nothing on GP I want to play right now..

Xbox GP team probably need to hit their quarterly 3m+ new users. Good news for potential users trying out the service tho, buying 3 years xbox live and converting also good since it cost the same as a year of gamepass sub.

Yeah, free trials or introductory offers are pretty common among lots of subscription services. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, Pornhub etc.

For this to be worth it, they need to release something. They haven't released anything since the beginning of this gen.

Just to boost their numbers

No thanks. I prefer to own my games. No rentals.

Yea.. I'm hoping they have this offer around when something big like Halo Infinite releases.
