Xbox Game Pass cheaper: how to get it

El Xbox Game Pass It has become the subscription that cannot be missing in the Xbox or PC Gaming of every good player. This Microsoft service has completely revolutionized the video game market, completely changing a business model that now involves monthly payment and unlimited use of titles. If you want to enjoy the Game Pass but are interested in saving a few euros on the membership, here we show you all the ways to get the pass at a slightly more affordable price.

How much does Xbox Game Pass cost?

Xbox Game Pass has three different modalities. We will have to buy one subscription or another depending on the systems we have at home or the ones we are going to use that month:

• Console: This is the basic membership for Xbox consoles. It will allow us to access a huge catalog of video games for a price of 9,99 euros per month. In this case, we will be limited to the local game, since we will need the Ultimate account if we want to access the online game.
• Ultimate: This other membership is the most complete of all. It allows us to play both on console and on PC. It is priced at 12,99 euros per month. In this case, we will be able to access all Microsoft online gaming services on our Xbox consoles.
• PC: also priced at 9,99 euros per month, this is the mode you should choose if you are going to play on a Windows PC.
• Friends and family: This is a new modality being tested in Ireland and Colombia that will allow you to share your subscription with friends. This new modality will help to reduce the monthly price of the subscription. It will cost 21,99 euros, and we can form groups of a total of 5 members so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of Game Pass Ultimate for 4,4 euros per user.

The promotion of one euro

Microsoft is taking this video game service that they launched a few years ago very seriously. For that same reason, they offer to show us their platform for an almost free price. If you have a euro, you can try Xbox Game Pass in all its glory. The ones in Redmond usually take out promotions from time to time to encourage subscription to Game Pass.

Usually, they will offer us a month for one euro or three months for three euros. However, on key dates such as summer or Christmas they will give us a maximum of three months for a single euro. Once the time runs out, they will charge us the 9,99 or the 12,99 regulations depending on whether we have chosen the Ultimate or PC mode.

See offer on Amazon

In general, if you are not a regular at Game Pass, you will be able to take advantage of this offer every time Microsoft launches it, without any problem. In case they hinder you, you can always take advantage of the offer using a new Microsoft account, but we anticipate that they do not usually put any kind of impediment.

Other ways to get cheap Game Pass

In addition to the Game Pass promotion for one euro, there are other ways to purchase this subscription at a cheaper price than the recommended:

Converting your Xbox Gold to Game Pass

There is a rather interesting method to get the Game Pass at a lower price than what they usually ask us with the monthly fee. Once you activate Xbox Game Pass on an account that already has a xbox gold subscription, all the months of Gold that you had will automatically convert to months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Xbox accounts allow you to store up to 36 month subscription. Therefore, using Xbox Gold cards you can enjoy three years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate saving a lot of money in the process. Xbox Gold cards can be found at some online stores. Of the almost 13 euros that the membership would consist of, doing this process will keep you in about 3,75 euros per month.

Shopping at key stores

If you want to save money, but you are not interested in complicating your life, the most sensible thing to do is to do some research in different key stores. These online stores directly sell the codes at lower prices than what Microsoft usually offers us. Some of the most interesting stores are the following:

• gamivo: At this store you can save approximately 12% on the purchase of a 3-month or 12-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership.
• CD Keys: This website has quite interesting prices, and sometimes it has lower prices than those of Gamivo. You can buy keys to activate Game Pass Ultimate for 6 months for approximately 50 euros.
• eneba: Although you will not find as many offers as in CD Keys, this online store usually always has a stock of licenses.

Buying in other regions

This trick is already a classic when we talk about subscriptions like Netflix or Spotify. Digital services are often priced according to the market in which they are being sold. For this reason, in less affluent economies, services such as Xbox Game Pass are cheaper compared to the price we have in Spain. At the moment, all Xbox systems are region free, and Microsoft does not hinder when performing this operation.

Game Pass prices in these countries will depend on the quotation of their own coins against the euro. Therefore, talking about each country independently would be tedious. If what you are looking for is the cheapest offer, you may be interested in buying today in one place, and tomorrow in another.

To find the perfect offer, there is the web Xbox Store Checker, which will tell you at all times the most affordable store internationally to buy your Game Pass. In addition, the website will show you the steps you must follow to be able to materialize the purchase abroad in each case. As usual, to be able to buy the pass by doing this trick, you will need to use a VPN, preferably paid.

Acquiring balance at a lower price

To do this last process, what you should do is buy balance keys in stores like CD Keys or Gamivo. Many of these stores sell credit cards that are worth more than the price you pay for them. For example, you can buy a card of 50 euros for about 40 euros.

Offers will always depend on stock that they have available. Our recommendation is that you take a look at these websites from time to time and buy the cards when you see price drops. This way, you can then buy your Game Pass membership at a much lower price.

Is it illegal to buy codes on eBay?

Like the stores that we have mentioned before, on eBay you will be able to find an infinite number of resellers that will offer you download codes with months of subscription to the service. In any case, they are just that, resellers, and they usually include a higher commission than the aforementioned stores.

The result is the same, since they are keys acquired in markets of countries with favorable currency exchange, and which are later resold at a higher price to continue offering a very attractive price with an interesting profit margin. The only thing you should take into account is the percentage of positive feedback from the seller, since, on many occasions, these sellers could send used codes or simply disappear after the sale.

In any case, our recommendation is that you always opt for the official Microsoft channels to obtain the months of subscription to the service. It is the safest way not to lose your money, although as you have seen, there are other methods with which you will save a lot of money and it is within the law.
