Xbox help - 36 month changeover

Options
Hi all

If this needs to be moved, please feel free as i am doing this on my phone and if I have posted in the wrong thread, then I am sorry.

Have just got my son his first console (xbox).

I have seen a few posts relating to 'stacking' 36 months gold pass and then converting them to ultimate.

My query is, as I am new to this, is there a written guide somewhere as to do all this, as I assume this has to be done on the shop that is available on the Xbox menu?

As I new to all this, don't want to get it wrong.

TIA

    I just remember mine was on the Xbox home page on the console, no way could you mess it up.

    Btw which Xbox bundle did you go for ?

    In the end, we got a 1TB console + x 2 wireless controllers + 1 x free game (Borderlands 3 - I believe it was) from Smyths (it was an opening weekend offer at their store in Portsmouth for just north of £230.

    I know we could have gotten it cheaper if we had waited until BF, however, my DS2 birthday is just before BF (its on the 28th) but my ex-wife wanted something substantial for him to open on his birthday.

    We have several other (xbox) games for him also (along with the 36 months of Ultimate) to go with it.

    TIA

    That's a good deal there.

    when you enter the code in via xbox.com (can do it using the controller but pc/laptop easier) I remember an option on the console to convert it to Gamepass ultimate.


    Regarding the setting up of the account, do you set it up as a child account or non child is up to you. If you do link any cards to the account just make sure certain measures are in place (cant say what they are as I have no need for them), could be easier to not bother linking 1 in the first place.
