Core level of Xbox Game Pass This is for the Core level, the lowest of levels, basic for logging in and very little downside of games. Basic enough for my nephew.

Ratio is 3:1 If you’re an existing subscriber, the Game Pass Core to Game Pass Ultimate ratio conversion is 3:1, and you won’t find that unless you search for that specifically online. Otherwise, when you look up the conversion ratio, you’ll find 3:2, from Microsoft, and it won’t say for new or returning customers only. You won’t even be told when you go to make the conversion that the ratio is going to give you half of what you expected. $30 rip off for me, done with Microsoft at this point. You also can’t refund existing subscriptions under the refund a subscription option either, or at least the website said I couldn’t. Customer support was awful, really bad. Has hung up on (wasn’t speaking loudly or cursing, was just reading my product key, mid sentence was hung up on, no call back) and audio quality was terrible. That was under request a call, since the bot on the main Microsoft customer support number said I couldn’t be helped multiple times under multiple calls. Don’t buy this expecting a 3:2 conversion if you’re already subscribed to Ultimate. You’ll get half your monies with instead. Honestly, if you don’t play a lot of different tiles, specifically Game Pass Ultimate titles, you’re better off waiting for a sale and just buying the games outright and just using Core to be able to play online. It can be cheaper if you do it that way depending on how and how much you game. Overall, very dissatisfied, feel lied to directly from Microsoft’s own website, and not worth the money to me by any means (especially for someone who doesn’t have much due to medical issues). $60 for 4 months is $15 a month, twice what it would’ve been if I wasn’t an existing customer, for the conversion. If you just want to play online, it’s fine. Expensive imo, but nothing out of the ordinary (PC through Steam is free, just the internet bill, while a PC cost more upfront, yes I have one too, it can be cheaper in the long run depending on how you build and use it).

Works easily IF current plan allowed to expire This 12 month membership is great, bringing my monthly fee to access the Xbox Network to a reasonable amount. This option, and ease it works (after waiting for the previous plan TO COMPLETELY EXPIRE).Just understand if it is applied before your active plan expires, you will just put the total value of the card into a continuation of the current plan. Doesn't seem to be any way around this, but it is still 100% convenient to just let current plan expire, they use the new card, automatically starting the plan shown on the card.Cheers!

I recommend this product This product is a digital code, not a physical one sent through the mail and it gets sent to your order inbox or Gmail account that's linked your Amazon account. After the transaction is processed. The codes do work And last a full year as advertised and would recommend buying it If you don't feel like spending $10 every month And worrying about remembering to pay it that month every time it gets you the basic subscription service essential to play online multiplayer game with friends You get some game deals throughout the year overall if you don't mind paying for your games out of pocket, it's not a bad thing to pay for and far cheaper than paying for Game pass ultimate or game pass premium for a year
