Xbox Game Pass (MoM) or Live Gold (12m+) Then Upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate

Hello fellow OzBargainers,
I was planning to get Game Pass activated for my XBox ($10.95 per month) and was looking at multi-month deals.
I came across an article which explained how existing subscriptions are converted like-for-like when we upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate (i.e. an active 12 month Game Pass or Live Gold subscription will automatically become a 12 month Game Pass Ultimate subscription)
Is that understanding of mine correct and if yes, does this approach still work?
In that case, I would try to get 12 or more months of Xbox Live Gold (~$80 for 12 months) stacked up and then subscribe to the $1 Game Pass Ultimate deal from Microsoft directly.

Is that a commonly used approach recommended here in OzBargain?

Thanks!

  • do the brazil thing and turn 3 years cheap gold into 3 years gamepass ultimate.

  • Is it possible to do this if you get the Xbox Game Pass for PC and then use it for the Xbox console?

    Yes, I can confirm https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/531523 this works :-)

    Make sure you change your Xbox Region to Brazil and use incognito or In Private window in your browser.

    • You don't have to change your region to Brazil on your Xbox - you just need to use a VPN to appear to be in Brazil when you activate the code.

  • Saw this deal earlier on perusing through the Xbox Beta app. Canceled my sub (PC only) last month when my 3 months free were up.

    Thinking of joining again with this deal. Is the $1 joining fee is only good for one month then it's back to normal price after that?
