Xbox Game Pass Trick Saves £92.94 with EA Play Hack
Convert EA Play subscriptions into Game Pass Ultimate for serious savings. Here's how.
Unlocking Savings on Xbox Game Pass
Xbox fans, listen up. You can snag 10 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just £77. Yep, really. This isn't some glitch, it's a smart trick gamers have been using for a while, leveraging EA Play subscriptions to slash costs.
Game Pass Ultimate recently dropped its standard price to £16.99 a month, down from £22.99. That's a decent cut. But this EA Play combo? It brings your monthly equivalent down to a ridiculous £7.69.
Here's the deal:
- Grab Three 12-Month EA Play Codes: Amazon's got 'em for £19.99 each. You'll need to buy them one at a time, though – Amazon has a weird purchase limit.
- Redeem 'Em: Head over to Microsoft's redemption site. Stack up those 36 months of EA Play.
- Buy One Month of Game Pass Ultimate: This is the kicker. That single purchase converts all your stacked EA Play time into Game Pass Ultimate.
How the Magic Happens
So, you've got 36 months of EA Play. When you buy that one month of Game Pass Ultimate at the regular rate, Microsoft converts the entire 36 months of EA Play into nine months of Game Pass Ultimate. Add in the month you just bought, and boom: 10 months of Ultimate. All for a fraction of the usual price.
Why bother? Because you get everything: day-one Xbox releases, all those EA Play titles, and the massive Game Pass library. You're pocketing around £92.94. That's real money.
Microsoft's Angle
This little Game Pass maneuver comes as Microsoft pushes hard to expand its gaming services. By folding things like EA Play into Game Pass, they're trying to get an edge, especially in markets like Europe where subscription models are really taking off. It's all part of a bigger play.
What It Means For You
If you're trying to stretch your gaming budget, this loophole is a no-brainer. More games, less cash. And if you're not already on Game Pass, this is probably the cheapest way in. Just make sure you follow those steps exactly. Don't mess it up.
The Catch?
This whole thing hinges on Microsoft's current system. If they change their policies, or how digital codes work, this trick could disappear. We don't know when, or if, that might happen. So, act fast.
Why It Matters
Game Pass is huge for Microsoft. It's a key part of their plan to dominate the gaming world. Making it cheaper and easier to get into, especially in cost-conscious regions, just makes the subscription even more appealing. It's a win for players, and honestly, a smart move for Redmond.
