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.

    You can’t own a Xbox and not have gold. Xbox Gold allows you to play online with friends as well as get free games every month. I definitely recommend owning a gold subscription.

    I was only going to go with the 3 month membership since it was on sale and came with the Xbox. But I was convinced by the cashier at the Best Buy I went to to go with the 12 month membership and am happy I did

    I never buy month to month. The year purchase is worth it. Oddly I could not find the year deal in the Microsoft store. I had to go to Best Buy to find it.

    Gift for my son. Would be nice if it was cheaper but comparatively it’s not bad. Especially for the amount of time my son likes to play online.

    I've had Xbox live for 7 years. I always buy 12 month subscriptions because it's the best bang for your buck. Gold let's you play online and gives you access to free games every month. Getting the code emailed is super convenient.

    What more can I say. this card allows you to access all the great online material on Xbox. Buy it at 10 bucks it is cheaper than a 12 pack of beer and better entertaining and a lot longer period of time.

    You have to have gold to play online for xbox. Many people complain about having to purchase it but I don't mind because the service is better for it. The multiplayer experience is also better maintained with minimal concern for hackers, cheaters, etc.
