Thanks to TRENT86 for the screenshot of the deal more gaming goodness here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/498763
1 year worth of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $115 which is a pretty good deal imo, if you've already done the free trials.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Game Pass for Xbox, Xbox Game Pass for PC and Xbox live gold all in one subscription.
All Xbox Game Studio games will enter Game Pass for Xbox/PC day one of launch.
According to Trent this deal looks to start next Friday.
The switch games are in OP's picture, but I'll list them off here:
NBA 2K20 - $39
Just Dance 2020 - $39
Team Sonic Racing - $35
Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled - $45
These games are also in the catalogue for $69, but I don't think they're actually on sale:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
New Super Marios Bros U Deluxe
Mario & Sonic at The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
Pokemon Sword
Pokemon Shield
Luigi's Mansion 3
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Maker 2
Super Mario Party
The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening
Hopefully JB will price match and then I can use my JB vouchers!
You could just price match when at JB. I do it all the time

Hmm I’ve got up to next year with ultimate already but adding on another year for $115 with the new console coming out seems like a pretty good deal.
Normal cost for the year is $191.40 so this is a saving of $76.40. Not bad.
Microsoft have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at $1 for 3 months.

Is this not for new users only though?
Or can existing Xbox Game Pass subscribers utilise this.
Asking for a friend who only games on console.
Its for new users only. Most people have trier game pass at this point.
It's $1 for 5 months actually. If you ask Xbox support for the Discord Nitro that is supposed to come with ultimate you get an extra 2 months of ultimate.
Can this be done on PC? I was under the impression you needed an actual xbox to get this.
@Krondorf: Interdasting, thanks. Did you get the offer notification through your account. Or if it's a generic link, would you mind sharing?
@Krondorf: Thanks. I opened up a chat and the guy said you need an xbox console to qualify but he said he'd get it emailed to me anyway.
Then he said "happy to help another gamer :D"
GAMERS RISE UP
Noob question but how does Discord Nitro get you extra months on the Game Pass? The promo is actually 3 months of Nitro now too…
@pmx7: Discord is running an offer for Nitro users that you get 3 months game pass for either Xbox or PC. When you try to redeem it though, it gets cut down by Microsoft for 2 months of Ultimate. Once you get the Discord Nitro code/link it will come up in the desktop app at the top saying there's an offer for you.
@Flamexio: Ah very nice! Chat with microsoft and they said they'd email the offer code but still waiting on it…
As a cheaper option, existing GamePass Ultimate subscribers can also extend by 3 months for $21.95 during the current Black Friday game sales in the online store on their Xbox One. Also see the $1 for 3 months deal mentioned above if you are a new subscriber.
Can probably stack multiple 3 month extensions at the $21.95 price but I have not tried myself. Edit: The $21.95 deal appears to be targeted so not every Microsoft account will get the offer
Can I buy these and keep hold of them until Xbox 2 comes out?
I can't see why not.
Does anyone know if they're still converting existing Gold into Game Pass Ultimate for new users or has that ship sailed?
I did it last week, seems like it is still continuing
Thank mate :)
I have 2 years left but I think this is good enough to top off now to the max 3 years.
I reckon you should post this as its own post.
Some nice prices there. Any pics of the Switch games deals?
