Xbox Game Pass for £1 still works with three-year subscription trick

By converting your Xbox Live Gold subscription into one for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can sign up for three years for just £1.

Currently, Microsoft’s website only offers one-month and three-month subscriptions for £6.99 and £17.99, respectively.

However, doing so will still allow
