- Gustavo CadenaEasy and totally worth itGot the 12-month Game Pass Core and it worked instantly. Smooth activation, great online play, and a solid library of games. Simple, reliable, and a good value for the year
- Matthew StevensonGood value for the priceThis is far less than options offered when trying to purchase through XBOX.
- Nolan UnruhPanicked until I got the code 2 hours laterTakes an hour or two for the code to show up
- Emperor1971Gaming perfectionJust what we needed to play Xbox.
- Tyler HRatio is 3:1If you’re an existing subscriber, the Game Pass Core to Game Pass Ultimate ratio conversion is 3:1, and you won’t find that unless you search for that specifically online. Otherwise, when you look up the conversion ratio, you’ll find 3:2, from Microsoft, and it won’t say for new or returning customers only. You won’t even be told when you go to make the conversion that the ratio is going to give you half of what you expected. $30 rip off for me, done with Microsoft at this point. You also can’t refund existing subscriptions under the refund a subscription option either, or at least the website said I couldn’t. Customer support was awful, really bad. Has hung up on (wasn’t speaking loudly or cursing, was just reading my product key, mid sentence was hung up on, no call back) and audio quality was terrible. That was under request a call, since the bot on the main Microsoft customer support number said I couldn’t be helped multiple times under multiple calls. Don’t buy this expecting a 3:2 conversion if you’re already subscribed to Ultimate. You’ll get half your monies with instead. Honestly, if you don’t play a lot of different tiles, specifically Game Pass Ultimate titles, you’re better off waiting for a sale and just buying the games outright and just using Core to be able to play online. It can be cheaper if you do it that way depending on how and how much you game. Overall, very dissatisfied, feel lied to directly from Microsoft’s own website, and not worth the money to me by any means (especially for someone who doesn’t have much due to medical issues). $60 for 4 months is $15 a month, twice what it would’ve been if I wasn’t an existing customer, for the conversion. If you just want to play online, it’s fine. Expensive imo, but nothing out of the ordinary (PC through Steam is free, just the internet bill, while a PC cost more upfront, yes I have one too, it can be cheaper in the long run depending on how you build and use it).
- marc wilsonImpressiveGood deal, fast easy didn't have a problem
- Matthew ChandlerStill Works!Still works as of the time of this review. Do it. Quick, easy and if you buy a year it saves you a little over $3 a month over the new 'essential' plan. Stick it to 'em. $80 after tax right now, let's see how long this lasts.
- Ethan S.PerfectWorks for me as of 10/30/25! Make sure you do not already have an active game pass ultimate otherwise it will be converted into four month of ultimate.
