    Not working for a previous customer here.

    Signed the kiddo up for the vbucks tho lol, cheers.

    Edit: Was kinda getting at "THIS IS NOT FOR RETURNING CUSTOMERS"

    • JownehFixIT on 13/12/2025 - 18:08

      Also a returning customer, it said join for $1 til I tapped that and it seems to boost up to $35.95 or whatever. Not game to commit while it says that price.

    • BadGiraffe on 14/12/2025 - 21:24

      Will be doing the same for mine just for the V Bucks and Crew.

      Told him it will be his Christmas present. His response? "You're getting me a $1 present?" Kids these days…

      • G-Shock on 14/12/2025 - 21:44

        One month present but ok for the holidays.
        Better than a 9 month present..

          I would LOVE another 9 month present. I mean… they're expensive, but I'd love it. That's just me. Mrs BadGiraffe says I should be happy with 1 and that's it.

    Doesn't work for me, and I haven't subbed to Game Pass for 6+ months.

    On the join page, it says "Get your first month for $1, then $35.95/month", but then when I click 'Select', it says "AU$35.95/month".

    • PuppieWayne on 13/12/2025 - 17:27

      $36 a month!

      Been out of the loop for at least a year.. isn't know it's so expensive now.

        Yep, enshittifcation hit, now you might as well buy the game you were gonna get the pass for.

        I really wish they based it off how many hours you’ve played and then just apply a cap fee.
        Someone playing hundreds of hours of games a month will be paying the same as me, I’d be lucky to get 20 hours a month

        • PuppieWayne on 13/12/2025 - 19:30
          +1

          I really wish they based it off how many hours

          Agreed! I bought the 3 years Turkey thing 6 months before I started my business and in that 3 years, I've probably played on the Xbox less than 10x.

          The longest was when I got onto Elden Rings, which wasn't related to GP anyway.. then I realized I don't play it that much and sold it

          Was thinking about getting a Magnus and jumpinf back on GP but at this price and all.. be better to get a steam machine.

          No wonder Xbox sales aren't strong. Game pass used to be the "why get Xbox"..

      Works on the win11 (windows store app) i can only get essentials to apply $1 though and not premium or ultimate

  • AFAR85 on 13/12/2025 - 17:31

    might take up this deal for Doom Dark Ages and then peace the hell out.
    Can I cancel right after I sub without it ending my subscription?

    • Bruceflix on 13/12/2025 - 17:42

      Yeah. It'll continue until the next billing date

  • ShouldIBuyIt on 13/12/2025 - 17:43

    Is this for PC?

    • neosin on 13/12/2025 - 18:21

    This is so stupid, on the xbox app i can see $1 for all 3 tiers (essential,premium,ultimate) when i click join the discount is gone

    On the windows store, I can get the $1 to apply on essential only but not premium/ultimate

    Useless ai coders!

  • life is suffering on 13/12/2025 - 18:29

    I got it , just clicked on ultimate and then subscribed maybe worked because I haven't used game pass for like 2 years now

  • TheHummingBird on 13/12/2025 - 18:30

  • MetallicDodo on 13/12/2025 - 19:02

    Works for me, saw the $1 offer on Xbox Series X but only for Ultimate.
    Haven't subscribed to GPU for about a year ago.

  • cumova on 13/12/2025 - 19:07

    Anyone have any hacks if you want to have the ultimate pass and have kids use it too?
    I have 1 ultimate 35months renewed and just want the kids to go on as well on their school device from next year.

    • GreyChris on 14/12/2025 - 08:25

      I think you need multiple xboxes. You can't have one on cloud gaming and one of physical Xbox at the same time.

  • neosin on 13/12/2025 - 19:11

    Wow, ms changed the essential, it is complete dogshiet now with no good games on it!

    You need minimum premium for any good games WTF?

      Yep $36 is insane. Back to blatant, shameless piracy.

  • AustriaBargain on 13/12/2025 - 19:14

    I got the ISmellPennies deal, and a deal for years worth before it, and I don't think I've been using it right. I think after Starfield, the promise of multiple genuinely good AAA games per year on day one felt like a lie. And no sight of Skyrim 2.

  • Ferny32 on 13/12/2025 - 19:28

    Unsubbed from gp and never looked back. Enjoying playing my backlog of disc games. $36 a month is heinous

  • Wuggle on 13/12/2025 - 23:13

    I have so many games in my backlog on other platforms that I am not sure I would get my $1 worth of value from this deal so still on the fence about dropping them a gold coin, but thanks for the heads up!

  • Vertigo6 on 13/12/2025 - 23:14

    Am I missing something? That it reverts to $35 seems a bit steep. I can buy an Xbox Ultimate Pass from JB for $22…

    • jonathonsunshine on 14/12/2025 - 06:25

      The deal posted here is $1 for one month of GP Ultimate.

    • brisdaz on 03/01/2026 - 08:28

      I got the $1 deal but what's the $22 deal? May continue on at that price.

  • BartholemewH on 14/12/2025 - 07:31

  • qkthr on 14/12/2025 - 10:22

    My Ultimate sub expired sometime in the past month or so, and I was able to make use of the $1 offer. Cancelled it right away so they don't take any more money too.

    I saw this deal when it was posted, tried for $1 and it was full price as I was currently subscribed. Cancelled my subscription which just so happened to expire yesterday, this morning signed up for $1. So it appears to work. If your subscription is set to expire/renew it's probably worth giving it a go.

  • the frost on 02/01/2026 - 09:27

    Seems to be not expired now, so perhaps it's ongoing?
