Microsoft has surprised a portion of the community with an unexpected promotion within the Microsoft Store. On the main screen, a notice called “Check Your Chat” appears, inviting players to review their Xbox profile messages, where they would be receiving a code with free balance to spend in the digital store.

Upon clicking the button, users are redirected to a section of exclusive offers, many of which are related to Xbox Game Pass, although everything suggests that the money can be used for more store purchases. It has not been specified if this gift is limited to subscribers of the service, but previous Microsoft campaigns allowed redeeming the balance on any game or digital content.

How to claim your gift in Microsoft Store

• Turn on your console or log in from the Xbox app.
• Access your profile and open the chat section.
• Look for the official Microsoft message with the promotional code.
• Redeem the balance in the Microsoft Store and spend it on the content you prefer.

For now, the company has not clarified if this promotion is limited to certain regions or if all users will receive it. If you still don’t have the message in your account, we recommend checking your Xbox chat over the next few days.

A great opportunity to add free balance and save on games or subscriptions for the coming weeks.
