Am I the only one that’s mad the ultimate price rose by $2

[@Arnell_Long]

No... you're never the only one

[@RageZero115]

@@Arnell_Longit was $15? Though it was $16 b4 it rose to $17

[@Jacobh69]

16.99, before tax. I pay 17.50 for ultimate, kinda annoying when I’m used to the 14.99

[@bobfloyd875]

I just came here to see what the Ultimate was all about... funny thing is I signed up for this package a week ago, it was first two weeks free and then I start paying monthly. I think I will keep this going for a while. thanks for the video

[@autumnrose_tv]

Plan to get the ultimate tier since it has the most benefits. It’s £12.99 in the uk which is £155.88 per year if we wanna be specific

[@kawasakizx6r813]

Sorry Dad question lol. I have an xbox, Son has PlayStation. Do I need ultimate to play Cross play for games like Rocket league? We play fortnite without any pass but he really wants me to play lol. Thanks.

[@autumnrose_tv]

@@kawasakizx6r813 my brother and our friends all own Xboxes, so I’m not too sure whether you’d need the ultimate tier to play games cross platform between Xbox and PlayStation, but I’m aware that you can play PC games and Xbox games cross platform with the ultimate tier. I did try googling it for more info with little luck finding answers for you

[@UrbanDailyUK]

​@@kawasakizx6r813 hey, i hope you've already found the answer you're looking for - you should be able to play Rocket League online on Xbox with cross-play to a PlayStation with no subscription as all Free To Play titles allow you to play online with everyone, even without a Game Pass subscription. To play more games online you can subscribe to Core to get online multiplayer benefits for all games, or subscribe to Ultimate to do that & access the full Game Pass catalogue with pretty much endless choices for games - although this is unneeded if you only hop on to play Fortnite and Rocket League every now and then. Hope this helps :)

[@RavenGomezXO]

I just got my xbox SS & 1 month of ultimate im so looking forward to popping it on today 😊

[@axel1506]

When u buy the gamepass for first time you get a huge discount!

[@NotMagnusss]

I pay $60 a year for my ultimate (cheaper yes ik) and I definitely think it’s worth it atleast for me however I don’t believe it’s for everyone especially at the much expensive price of $17 a month which is basically $200 a year

[@ImaLoneWolfintheWoods]

How you get that price???

[@xpointer483]

There is no annual tier for where I live. So I pay around $8 a month which rounds up to $96 a year.

Im hyped up for this chang for xbox!!!

[@FoxxMulderr]

So if I currently have Gold, I'll automatically get converted over to Core on Sept 17 right? I have a few more 3-month Gold codes to redeem. Is it more beneficial to redeem before the 17th, after, or makes no difference?

[@jujunothere2069]

Lemme get a 3 month gold code damn

[@ch-co9ox]

No different

[@matejjurkacek9043]

I would like to ask, if I can activate cosmetic perk in the game sea of thieves, Rule was: before I enter the code I have to own the game Sea of thieves and xbox live gold, which is no longer , so is it enough for me to activate this code, after I own sea of thives game and game pass ultimate? Is that enough? Thanks for the info man.

[@mr-bearman6338]

I've always got my game pass ultimate from the Microsoft rewards, and it's gone!!! I hope it comes back to the rewards soon. But it's worth the money/points either way.

[@Cxncxnz]

Yeah they also halved the rewards points you get. Basically their fucking over the players as companies always do. The new UI sucks!

[@hogan4670]

It’s back now

[@aguinchico6536]

Of course it's. Good deal when it's free

[@ImaLoneWolfintheWoods]

Yeah, I was just trying for the last month to redeem for ultimate, which is 10,500pts/month. It is on the Xbox console rewards app. But just crashes when you redeem. Obviously not working and customer service won't help. One guy actually told me they're out of stock and working hard to restock inventory of game pass ultimate rewards. ..... haha

I had bought.core and I couldn't play mw3 multiplayer can you help me and tell me why it said online play with core but it wouldn't let me play it

[@albie341]

I got an email this morning informing me that my xbox live gold/gamepass ultimate will be increasing in price from 10.99-12.99 a month!!! I know its only like 2/3 pounds more a month but they don't understand that its actually quite a lot especially since we have been paying more than standard anyways... frikken joke. I miss the good old days when u just come home from school or college, slide a brand new disc into your console and boom a whole new chapter... now its too much

[@ImaLoneWolfintheWoods]

Well with something likely around 35 million subscribers on ultimate, probably generating another 70 million in profits every month

[@TrayCaddyyy]

Why am I just learning about this now? It would have been cool if they told Gold members that Gamepass Core was replacing Gold.

[@marcusdy1974]

I just found out when I looked for my monthly gold membership on My Rewards it was no longer on there. Guess I'll get Core or Console and buy a 3 month Gold Subscription.

[@LIT0187]

Is there an yearly membership for Xbox game pass ultimate?

[@kornholyo1828]

No just core. Is available for 3months. Everything else 1month.... Sad panda.. PlayStation has a year long for purchase.. grrr and hell diver

[@UttRConcrete]

Are the 25 games a rotation or do you get to keep them like games with gold did?

[@SpiffReese]

You keep them.

[@-carpet-]

They wont be rotating, games wont leave the lineup but new games will be added 2-3 times a year.

[@jimyarbrough9935]

If you're asking if you own them, then no.

[@SpiffReese]

@jimyarbrough9935 you do though, it's just a name change for XLG. The games won't leave your library and are playable as long as you're subscribed which you need live gold (now Core) for MP so you have to be.

[@bearpoop720]

To keep them, you have to purchase them. No subscription wait for a sale, with a subscription wait for a sale. Sometimes subscription discounts are cheaper than sale prices, but just wait for sales, very good deals. But still keep the subscription it is very good.

[@d3athcarnag350]

What if we’re already paying $60 a year for Gold right now? What will that convert to?? Just standard Core??

[@ch-co9ox]

Yes

[@DarknessIss22]

Agree with everything you said. When I first saw the change I was upset for a whole 10 seconds, but realizing you gain so much more for a couple of dollars is soo worth it. I suggest everyone upgrades to Ultimate.

[@gamefan8552]

I took advantage of the conversion from xbox live to game pass ultimate for 3 years back when xbox live was only $60 per year, so it was a great deal. However once the conversion period ends, not sure I'll continue on ultimate as my pc is not great for gaming and only having one game needing paid subscription to online gaming on my console. Might renew with only xbox console, or might not, have also bought a couple of games and unlike movies or music it can take a while to finish each specially if you want to fully unlock all trophies and collectables as I am.

[@thepoptarts]

if you have x-box unlimited do you get the same games that you would get with x-box core? Also if you have one of these game passes, would you need to also buy the Pc game pass? or can you still play the games you have on your xbox. And these work for every xbox right? (i just started using xbox, sorry for all the questions!)

[@NerfGamingNews]

Xbox core titles are games that are included in the "standard Xbox Game Pass library" which you get with Unlimited. Xbox PC Game Pass is a completely separate subscription for PC users, and you will need one for PC and Consoles. One work around allows you to play Game Pass console subscriptions will allow players to stream games via the cloud to PCs. Which won't require dual subscriptions. Thanks for watching!

Is game pass core and ultimate separate? Do I have to pay for two separate things?

[@timomch]

No need to pay for both. Ultimate is the most advanced. if you pay for that, you will get all options in Core + more. While core is a bit limited. Got for ultimate if you use multiplayer and core if you just play alone.

You have them for as long as you're subscribed OR they remove them which can happen with 3rd party games... if you really like those games then you should buy an Xbox and buy the games.

Console share bruh, subscriptions and games can be shared, and you both can use it paying for both once. You just have to make his console your home console, and enable gold sharing for everyone on that console. Content owners, yourself, can play on any Xbox.

I have a ton of PERMANENTLY mine games from claiming them each month. That cant be taken away like gamepass games can cycle out. Alot of them arent even on gamepass.

[@RetroGamingDads]

I may be wrong, but I'm sure that your Xbox One titles that you received with Games with Gold don't have the same status as purchased titles, meaning if your subscription lapses you will loose access to them. Only the Xbox 360 titles are kept and playable without a current subscription.

[@-carpet-]

Xbox has stated nothing about games leaving the core linup and all except for like 3 of the games announced are xbox studios or bethesda games meaning theres no contracts or deals that would make them remove the titles.
