In an effort to bring more people into the Game Pass fold Xbox frequently offered a $1 deal. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has been a well-received effort by Microsoft to rope more consumers into the Xbox ecosystem by lowering the barrier to entry, especially when bundled with the ever so budget friendly Xbox Series S. Gaming can be an expensive hobby with the initial costs of purchasing a console or a gaming PC compounded by the need to purchase games and additional subscriptions for access whenever necessary.

The conversion rate is no longer 1:1, instead it is now 3:2 and rounded up to the nearest day.

The deal for a trial month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at $1 has resurfaced, and it can once again be used as an upgrade path from Gold or PC Game Pass to Ultimate.

Then I clicked the 'try it for a dollar' button. I went to Walmart and bought three more 12 month Live Gold cards and added them to my account.

I had purchased three years worth when Game Pass came to PC and then paid a dollar to convert that to Game Pass Ultimate. Xbox ended the $1 trial month deal shortly before the recent price hike. You cant have an active game pass membership.

Since the inception of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users have been able to 'trade up' their Xbox Live Gold and PC Game Pass subscriptions to Ultimate at a near 1:1 ratio using a $1 trial month of Game Pass Ultimate.
