xbox ultimate launches for £1 (in addition to Jon's PC gamepass post)

Brave

Yep - downloaded Metro Exodus last night. Make sure you’re completely updated, keep refreshing check for updates even if it says you’re actually updated. I couldn’t get it working and then read that you have to have the latest feature update. It said I was up to date, but I still hit the button and voila it told me there was a feature update to download.

After that it worked. If you have a new dark mode for apps and other shiny things like night light etc, then you’re good to go and you should be able to DL PC game pass games.

The May feature update was released a few days ago and is still in the process of being rolled out, which is why it might not have shown up.

But yeah I was going to mention that Metro Exodus is meant to have best-in-class RTX support, at least according to DF.

Is that a code name for Division 2? Lol.
I’ll have a look at it mate. Will probably have to do some hard drive space juggling.

Brave

SRR No worries. Our schedules won’t align until Lily is on Summer hols anyway, which is very beginning of July here :)

Then I can stop getting up at feckin 6am and start the slow slide back to being a night owl \o/

Brave

I will say though, the pc store UI sucks total ass.

Brave I spent too long this weekend trying to do a 1.5MB update to Roblox on the kids PCs this weekend via the Windows Store.

SRR I think what it’s doing is upgrading any Live subscription to Ultimate for the £1 to the same end date, then, if you’ve already paid for the standard Game Pass adding that on as extra months at some sort of ratio.

If I’d grabbed some extra Live subs before upgrading it would have been even better.

Still a bargain! 👍

Cheers Deej. I did see someone on HDUK has worked out the formula, and as you say to get the very best out of it you need to add extra Live subs. TBH I’m perfectly happy with what I got. :)

I’ve really enjoyed having access to Game Pass so wanted to take up the deal, but my LIVE sub was due to expire in September.

Saw cdkeys.com were doing a Brazil only region 12-month code for £29.99. So, stick on the VPN, set to Brazil, login using private browsing and boom, 12 months extra LIVE. Add Ultimate for £1 and I’m now good for LIVE & Game Pass until early December 2020 for £30.99. Great value and the GP list keeps getting better and better.

DrDamn

Does anyone know if this still works? Upgrade link is still valid, just wondering if the get a couple of years of Live the upgrading for a £1 gets you ultimate for that time too?

SRR

DrDamn I’ve read that the deal seems to have been extended, but not sure for how long. Last info I can find is dated mid July.
