Microsoft Rewards Can’t Be Used For Game Pass Subs Redemption Starting October 1st
Microsoft will no longer allow reward points to be directly used to redeem Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. Here’s a workaround.
Amidst the chatter of the possible Xbox Game Pass price hike, plus the famous leaker Extas1s mentioning that there will be a big announcement for Game Pass today, Microsoft (whether it is connected or not) has published that reward points from its Loyalty Program can no longer be used to redeem Game Pass subs starting October 1. Well, at least not directly.
No More Direct Game Pass Redemptions with Microsoft Rewards
In a pop-up message on its Loyalty Program page, Microsoft informs members that they can no longer redeem Game Pass subscriptions with the reward points. It’s a major blow for many gamers who have gone this route to continue using the service at the best “price” possible. It’s true what they say, all good things must come to an end.
While direct redemption has been stopped, existing reward points can still be used to buy Xbox gift cards which then can be used to purchase Game Pass subs.
This change, however, effectively increases the “price” by at least 6,000 points for a 1-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. This makes more people think that an impending price increase is likely.
Still, points can be used toward Game Pass subscriptions, so it’s not the worst news especially when compared to other recent Xbox updates, like the steep cost of the ROG Ally X or the rising prices of the Xbox Series X/S.
