The primary way Microsoft drums up interest in Xbox Game Pass is through day one games. Xbox Game Pass is the cornerstone of Microsoft's gaming strategy this generation, with the company trying just about everything to draw new subscribers to the service. ![]() While this offer isn’t as generous as before, this is still the best way to save money on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions, which just went from $14.99/month to $16.99/month this week.Microsoft has resurrected the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deal where new subscribers can sign up for just $1, but with a worse conversion ratio for those coming from Xbox Live Gold. Unfortunately, this 1:1 conversion rate has been changed to 3:2: This means that 3 years of Xbox Live Gold can now be converted to 2 years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate instead of 3. Until now, gamers could pay for 3 years of Xbox Live Gold and convert that into 3 years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just the cost of one month of Game Pass Ultimate ($16.99). While it’s good for Microsoft to bring back $1 Game Pass trials, the company has also quietly changed the Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass conversion ratio to make it less advantageous. ![]() Microsoft had a solid Xbox and Bethesda games showcase in June, and it seems Microsoft’s various game studio acquisitions are about to finally pay off. It’s not clear why Microsoft did a 180° on Game Pass trials, but the company may bet on the upcoming release of Starfield and Forza Motorsport to get more gamers to subscribe.
