Customers are saying

Customers love the Xbox Live 12 Month Gold Membership for its value, ease of use, and quick code delivery. Many appreciate the straightforward redemption process and the length of the subscription. A small number of customers noted that the membership does not automatically convert to an equivalent Game Pass subscription. Overall, the positive feedback on price and ease of use outweighs the concerns about Game Pass conversion.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    This is by far the best deal for Xbox Gold and I would recommend this way of getting it for everyone. If it ever changes though, I will probably look elsewhere.

    Best way to buy Xbox live now is through Best Buy digital. The xbox store no longer gives you the 12 month option so I eat these up!

    Xbox live is a great value. 4 free games a month all playable on Xbox one. 2 360 games that are yours even if you quit the membership. The 2 Xbox one games are basically long term rentals you keep as long as you have a membership. Amazing online with rock sold chat and servers. Decent deals with gold every week for members.

      Hey Sammie,

      Thank you for sharing the love for your Xbox Live Gold membership! We agree that it's a pretty good deal for all the reasons you mention. Those free games add up, too -- up to a $700 value over the course of a year! Hope you have a lot of fun with it.

      Happy gaming,
