Game Pass Ultimate Cosmetics

  • alt text

    So microsoft just announced game pass ultimate users will get free DLC/items for games periodically and SoT is getting an Ori ship set. Couple of questions.

    1. Are these cosmetics exclusive to Ultimate or will they be added to the emporium one day?
    2. Is there a limited time window to sub to Ultimate to get these?
    3. Can all countries get the cosmetics?

    Just another thing to worry about in a game full of random promos to get cool cosmetics i guess.

  • Starts today according to their site: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/03/18/introducing-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-perks/amp/?__twitter_impression=true.

    Are these cosmetics exclusive to Ultimate or will they be added to the emporium one day?

    Hopefully Rare can answer this. But I'd guess like the Halo and GoW cosmetics before, they won't be in the Emporium.

    Is there a limited time window to sub to Ultimate to get these?

    It says "this month" but isn't clear about whether that's before the end of March or whether it's monthly from today until 17th April.

    Can all countries get the cosmetics?

    I'd guess that anywhere where you can buy Gamepass Ultimate, you can get this.

  • Well i upgraded from my old game pass to Ultimate and each piece of content (like the Smite DLC for example) tells you whether its console specific DLC and also when the offer ends.

    So now we know it expires 5/17 and you have to redeem the code itself by 6/18.

  • And what if you own the game outright do you still get it?

  • @xlrking where do you find that exactly? I subscribed but I don't know where to go

  • @flintlock-dan If you also have Game Pass Ultimate, yes. That is how I have it!

  • @clownsparade on PC or Console?

    " There’s no need to register or sign-up for the Perks program; as long as you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member, you can find your Perks on your console within the Xbox Game Pass tab, in the new Xbox (beta) app on Windows 10 PC, or within the Xbox Game Pass mobile app."

  • Pretty crispy set, love it.

    Homie I haven't even bought SoT and I'm already going to be spending more on the microstranctions and gamepass than on owning the actual game. Not to mention I'm letting my gamepass expire for a bit, but not before getting that event dlc

  • I am wondering as-well.. Because I am a PC user, then it kinda excludes us from the system, we pay for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate just for the skin etc? Kinda wrong I think for PC users!

  • @almighty-je5u5 Its pretty much like the Twitch Prime offers except worse value if you only have a PC and no Xbox. Its why i wonder if these items will ever be purchasable normally but i paid for the upgrade to ultimate anyway.

  • @almighty-je5u5 There are games on Game Pass for PC, that is part of the reason for Ultimate. To include Game Pass for Console, PC and Xbox Live all in one.

    Paying for a subscription just for a cosmetic is probably a bit much, especially if you won't use part of it, but you can get a month for $1/£1 at the moment and there are some decent games on there.

  • Not a fan of this at all... I mean, I'd gladly pay for it but not for a subscription service I will not use. This breaks quite a collection, and motivates me to put the game down easier, because now I can't collect everything I want.

    I don't understand how it excludes PC users? If an Xbox player only has Xbox Game Pass, they'd need to upgrade to Ultimate to get this aswell.
    If you already have Ultimate, you can get it, if you don't (irrespective of whether you're on PC or Xbox), you upgrade to get the reward.

    So it's the same for everyone.

  • Yaaaay🙆‍♂️

    Oh i really really like these funny sails so i bought 1 month ultimate and claimed it 🙋‍♂️

    It looks great on me sloop!!!

  • @almighty-je5u5 .... you can be happy you don’t have to pay for xbox live every month... i got free sails but i still need to pay for playing the game....

  • @lethality1 this set wil cost you less then an emporium livery, you can sign up for one month redeem it and immediately cancel the sub so it wont renew.

    If you never had gamepass ultimate before it will cost you 1 dollar

  • Uh, if you let your pass expire for a month you will sometimes get the dollar offer again too. I switch between subscribed accounts sometimes to get the 1$ offer again.
