Under “Xbox Game Pass Ultimate,” you’ll see an expiration date for your subscription, and the option to the right will say “Turn on recurring billing.” To verify you’ve turned off recurring billing, head to the Services & Subscriptions section of your account info. ( Don’t do this if you are redeeming three 1-year codes-the system will refuse to let you redeem the final code because it’ll put you over the limit.) (YMMV.) If you turn off recurring billing before redeeming your next code, you can usually continue to take advantage of this bonus.


The access to console titles is just an additional perk. So if you only play on PC, you’ll still be ahead, with unlimited access to a full range of games that includes upcoming Halo, Gears of War, and other game releases on PC from Microsoft, EA, Bethesda, and more. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate bundles together Microsoft’s Netflix-esque Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC subscriptions with its Xbox Live Gold multiplayer service.
