The Deluxe Treatment


And here I was thinking I wouldn't get a chance to post this picture again! Anyway, Microsoft is offering a new "Ultimate Game Pass" subscription, which combines their Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass services. At $14.99 per month, it costs more than either Gold or Game Pass, but is less expensive than the two of them together. If you really want to save some money, Cheap Ass Gamer has your hook-up... one of its members discovered that when you sign up for Ultimate, your remaining months of Gold and Game Pass are transferred there, effectively doubling their value. 

Say you just bought one year of Gold and one year of Game Pass. Switching to the premium service gives you two years of Ultimate, so you'll have both online gaming and a small pool of free Xbox games for twice as long as you otherwise would have. You can get up to three years of Ultimate using this trick... some CAG members were able to stretch out their subscriptions to 2021 by purchasing a couple years of Gold, then switching to Ultimate. There's no telling if this was an unintentional goof on Microsoft's part, so you'd better get in on this deal quickly!
