Needs an android device, an iphone with older xbox app (that still has the store on) or PC with xbox app installed
Step one: buy a year of EA PLAY for £17
step 2: delete the xbox app if it is up to date
download this older app
STEP 3: change the date of your phone to 9/11/2020 or before
step 4: login with your xbox account to the xbox app on your phone
step 5: click store and click redeem code
step 6: redeem the EA play code
it will say there's been an error
check your subscriptions and you will see GP ultimate has increased by a year
You must already have game pass ultimate for this to work
Tried it on my account and my cousin's. Success both times. It may come up with an error saying it can't convert to gamepass just now, just retry the code it should eventually work.
