    Still might be possible to convert Gold to Game Pass Ultimate by buying 1 month at full price, the same as how it worked after you'd already used the £1 offer way

    Could do with finding out as my first lot of Gold converted to Ultimate ends in June.

    Forbes are saying that 'you can no longer convert Xbox Live Gold to Xbox Game Pass at a 1:1 ratio, which resulted in “stacking” for extended use. Now it’s a 3:2 conversion, so three years of Gold would be two years of Game Pass. So it’s not quite as generous as it was before.'
    Edit: here's the Xbox Support page that confirms this change. (edited)

    No. Just the end of Game Pass trials. Probably paving the way for the family plan to finally come in.

    Wonder if this will be the end of the £1.20 a month codes on ebay as well
