Well I’m surprised there is no official Game Pass thread anywhere here but this is worth creating one for.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/9/21428764/xbox-game-pass-ea-play-subscription

Quote:
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass for PC subscribers will soon get an EA Play membership at no additional charge.

Essentially, this means that if you shell out for Game Pass Ultimate or on PC, your subscription will also include access to more than 60 additional EA games, including big titles like The Sims, Mass Effect, and FIFA. “This means Ultimate members can enjoy EA Play on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and Windows 10 PCs, and Xbox Game Pass for PC members get EA Play on Windows 10,” Microsoft explains. The addition of EA Play will start “this holiday.”


Wow this is pretty good. I pay for Game Pass Ultimate and I thought about getting EA Access quite recently. It’s only £4 per month but now it comes free! Microsoft killing it with consumer friendly value! Very Happy


May the NFOrce be with you always.

The $5 PC price was never intended to be a long term price. It said as much when I signed up for a trial a year ago.

I would love to see a Ubisoft offering, either part of Game Pass or not. Can't see it being part of at current price though. EA Access worked out at $2.50 a month. Uplay+ goes for $15/month, same RRP as UGP.

Isn't it 5$ for one more month only? Scratch Head didn't see the original announcement, only some news on local game portal

I downloaded every game available for the console on the Xbox Game Pass, somewhere around 250 games. It took a week and my ISP is pissed, but I downloaded every single game, and I still have 7.5 terabytes free.


Wow! I want one of those 12TB drives!


May the NFOrce be with you always.

Have a question for you guys, as i used UK Xbox Live Gold to upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate, i understand that now i will see UK prices over XSX when it arrives, so Live, and deals and such will be only for UK store.... Even if i open new account like on PSN.. still the Live and free games and deals will only be for my primary account that has the gold.. the UK one.... Right?
Any solution for that? I see you can change some account, can't remember if it's Microsoft Store or some migration you can change but can only do once every 3 months, so my question is if i change my account using this migration option to US.. will my primary account now be 100% US account? Deals will be in USD? If i will want to add money i will use US gift cards? And when my 3 years will end i will add US XLG? You get what i mean.... Will it be like original US account?
Thanks. Smile

Thats 12 months Xbox Live Gold, at Amazon it's 60 USD/50 GBP, per year.

You got good deals over CDKeys and other sites.

After you buy 3 x 12 months you add 1 USD and convert it to Game Pass Ultimate.

I don't think that's an issue - hundreds of people have been buying Xbox Brazil live cards, adding them to their XL account over a PC and VPN, then when they see the $1 GPU offer on their (non-VPN'd) dashboard they accept it but they don't end up with an account only showing Brazil prices. I think it all depends on your IP address what prices you're shown. I take my Xbox across the atlantic and see prices in whatever country I'm in. I think. Haven't been home in over a year.

@rayida Thank you for the replay. I'm aiming to make my account US, from PSN prices are best for US region and it's easy to get US gift cards to top up the account, so i think it will be best, deals and such will be at USD which is preferable for me. There's some migration acoount option you can change that should make it like original US but i don't want to test it before knowing what it will do, as this can only be done once every 3 months. Might test it when my XSX arrives.

I'm in the US, so never had to do any of that, but I do think if you're trying to game for the best geographical prices the process is slightly different for XBL vs PSN. I think I hear more about people doing it with PSN than I hear about XBL.
