New Year, New Rewards with Xbox

Rewards with Xbox: New Ways to Earn Points

Rewards with Xbox are designed to acknowledge and reward your passion for gaming, and we are excited to introduce fresh opportunities for players to earn points. From enhanced Quests for PC Game Pass users, to revamped Game Pass Quests for point accumulation, to weekly Rewards available to all Xbox players above 18 years old, there are numerous avenues to accrue points through your gaming sessions.

Game Pass Quests Arrive on Your PC

Previously exclusive to Game Pass Ultimate members, Quests now unlock additional opportunities to earn Rewards with Xbox. Rolling out from January 7th, Quests are now accessible to PC Game Pass members in all regions where Rewards with Xbox is offered. This expansion provides more ways to earn Rewards points on PC, alongside console and mobile play. Additionally, Game Pass Quests will soon launch in Japan, offering the full Rewards with Xbox experience to that region.

  • Explore the new Quests via your Xbox profile and the Rewards Hub on console, Xbox mobile app, and Xbox PC app.
  • Earn points by playing your favorite Game Pass titles.
  • Claim your points through the Rewards Hub.

Redeem your points for Xbox gift cards for game purchases, in-game content, charitable donations, and more. Minimum playtime requirements apply for earning points through gameplay, and Quests are currently limited to Game Pass titles. Check Xbox.com/Rewards for further details.

Start earning more points today by downloading the Xbox app on mobile and the Xbox PC app.

New Game Pass Quests Available

We have revamped Game Pass Quests to make them more user-friendly and enjoyable. Now, you can earn additional points by playing your favorite games and exploring new titles. Quests offer daily, weekly, and monthly opportunities to boost your Rewards, including the return of weekly streaks.

  • Daily Play – Earn 10 points daily by playing any Game Pass title for at least 15 minutes.
  • Weekly Streaks – Play for five days a week to complete your streak and earn more points with longer streaks.
  • Monthly 4-Pack – Play four different games for at least 15 minutes each per month.
  • Monthly 8-Pack – Play eight different games for at least 15 minutes each per calendar month.

New Ways to Earn Rewards for All

In addition to the exclusive Quests for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members, we are introducing new opportunities for all players to earn points. Starting January 7, 2025, all Rewards members above 18 years old can access the new PC Weekly Bonus, granting 150 points for playing five days or more for at least 15 minutes.

Points from the current Console Weekly Bonus and Daily PC Play have been adjusted to 150 points and 10 points, respectively.

Play and Earn Update

Our commitment to promoting positive and age-appropriate gaming experiences has led to an update in earning Rewards points through gameplay. Effective immediately, points earned through play activities are restricted to Xbox players above 18 years old. Players under 18 can still earn Microsoft Rewards points through approved purchases, Bing searches, and non-gameplay activities.

Existing Rewards and points earned by players will not be affected, and players can continue tracking and redeeming Microsoft Rewards accordingly.
