Game Pass Core To Ultimate Ratio Increased From 3:2 To 2:1, Subscription Stacking Has Changed

The conversion ratio for Xbox Game Pass Core subscribers to convert their subscription to Game Pass Ultimate has increased from 3:2 to 2:1.

[Eonjay]

This is saying that Microsoft will give you 66% of your time left in GP Core towards your GPU membership if you upgrade. The rate was 60% and now it has been increased to 66%.

[Killa78]

Its decreased from 66% to 50, no?

[Eonjay]

Going from 3:2 (60%) to 2:1 (66%) is a 6% increase if I am reading this correctly.

[GamerRN]

Going from 3:2 (66%) to 2:1 (50%) is a decrease, increase in cost for the conversion.

So if you had 3 years you used to get 2 years. Now 3 years will get you 1.5 years

[DodoDojo]

How is 2/3 60%? And how is 1/2 66%?

If I had 3 year of core.
Before: Converts to 2 years.
Now: Converts to 1 and half years.

It has decreased, not increased

[Eonjay]

Thank you I was reading it completely wrong! My bad

[darthv72]

they really should offer a discount for those who want to pay annually instead of monthly / quarterly.

[LastAvenger]

This above all absolutely needs to happen.

[anast]

They will. They are seeing what they can get out of the monthlies first.

Am I understanding this correctly?
So if you have 100 days on your course subscription left and you upgrade to ultimate they give you 66 days of ultimate before renewing your subscription?

Wtf is that about? Give the 100 days why be such a tight ass. If you upgrade on PS plus you get the same amount of days you just pay the extra.

As usual it's just Microsoft throwing around numbers confusing everyone to their true meaning. I thought the article was saying the ratio of quarter ultimate gamers was 3.2 before and now it's 2.1 that's not what this is.

[Knushwood Butt]

'If you upgrade on PS plus you get the same amount of days you just pay the extra.'

Yup.

What MS is doing isn't very consumer friendly.

[DodoDojo]

"So if you have 100 days on your course subscription left and you upgrade to ultimate they give you 66 days of ultimate"

Now you would have 50 days of ultimate. t's 2.1 ratio, so 2 days of core = 1day of ultimate.

They're doing this because people were taking advantage of it by buying up cheap Core codes from other countries where its cheaper and then converting them.

[--Onilink--]

Its just 2 methods for doing arguably the same thing

PS Basic 100 days , you PAY to upgrade the difference to the next tier, keep 100 days total.

Xbox Core 100 days, you DONT pay anything extra to upgrade, but your total amount of days is now matched to how many you would have based on the price of Ultimate.

The only change (for the worse) now is that previously it would have kept 66% of the amount of time you had and now its 50%, but again, you aren’t actually paying anything extra at the time of the upgrade.

This is not the only service that pro rates this way

Desperation is in the water...

Oh boy
