“Inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt, play as Sphinx, and his reluctant hero friend, the Mummy, as they travel the world to foil the evil plans of Set. Use stealth, agility, and special powers to find the stolen magical crowns of Egypt and save the world.”

    <p>They've really been scrapping the bottom of the barrel lately on Games with Gold.</p>

    <p>How much longer is this going to go on for? It just seems odd considering how cheap game pass is that people would continue to pay only for Gold.</p>

      <blockquote><a href="#580792"><em>In reply to remc86007:</em></a><em> I'm curious to as I'm one of those still paying for Gold which I'm paying for quarterly. I still get ads telling me to upgrade for a dollar. I'm curious though as if I can change my subscription to a year of Gold to save more money then switch to Game Pass Ultimate for a dollar and still get the discount.</em></blockquote><p><br></p>

        <blockquote><em><a href="#580798">In reply to Thretosix:</a></em></blockquote><p>You should be able to do this, a few months ago I topped up my live gold balance to 3 years and then converted it to Game Pass Ultimate for £1. So got 3 years of ultimate, don't need to renew til 2023.</p>
