Xbox subscription extension limits

Some Xbox subscriptions can be extended by redeeming digital codes or gift cards, for example, with maximum extension limits as follows:
  • Game Pass Ultimate can be extended to a maximum of 36 months in all countries where it’s available.
  • Game Pass Core and PC Game Pass can be extended to a maximum of 36 months in all countries where they’re available except for the following, where the limit is 13 months: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan, and Türkiye.
  • Game Pass Standard and Game Pass for Console can be extended to a maximum of 13 months in all countries where they’re available.
  • EA Play can be extended to a maximum of 36 months in all countries where it’s available, except for the following where the limit is 13 months: Argentina and Türkiye.
If you’re attempting to redeem a code or gift card that will extend a subscription beyond its limit, you'll receive a “Hold off extending this right now” error message and will need to wait until the limit won’t be exceeded.
