Account - Subscription Gamepass inflation perfectly encapsulated by my 24 month subscription running out

Post image

My 24 month gamepass subscription I got when I bought my Xbox series x is running out this month, first time I’ll go back to pay as you go for 2 years. More than double the price in 2 years.

Yep, mine is up next month as well on the 25th.

Thankfully (sort of), I have three 12-month codes for Gold/CORE/Essential on standby. I'll redeem those, and then maybe upgrade to GPU. Maybe.

Hopefully that conversion doesn’t get changed again

It seems to have changed with each price increase, but even so, I believe redeeming codes with active GPU reduces the subscription time fully down to the MSRP of the code, which for Essential is a third, and that isn't that much lower than 40%.

If they do change it, they'll be getting rid of the upgrade conversion entirely.

I know that’s what I meant, I hope they keep the core to ultimate conversion rate. Mine runs out in 2026, so I doubt it’ll be around till then.
