With the arrival of October, Xbox Rewards has received an update that we discussed yesterday. The loyalty program has modified the number of points it offers in several of its activities, and the results are mixed: while Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers are reinforced with greater rewards, other players find themselves with fewer incentives than before.
The change affects different areas of the program, from weekly tasks to monthly packages. In some cases, rewards have practically doubled, especially those directly related to Game Pass.
More points for Game Pass Ultimate users
Users with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate are the big winners. Now, completing missions like playing a Game Pass title or trying a game on console or PC gives 20 points instead of 10. Additionally, the monthly package of 8 games has gone from giving 350 to 560 points, a considerable increase.
On the other hand, weekly console and PC bonuses remain the same, and in certain regions, players have even seen reductions in smaller tasks, confirming that the adjustments are not applied identically in all countries.
Comparative table of some changes in Rewards
| Activity | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Playing a game on PC | 10 | 20 |
| Playing a game on console | 10 | 20 |
| Using the Xbox app on mobile | 5-25 | 8-50 |
| Playing a Game Pass title | 10 | 20 |
| Monthly package of 4 games | 50 | 80 |
| Monthly package of 8 games | 350 | 560 |
A program increasingly linked to Game Pass
- These changes reinforce the idea that Microsoft is focusing Xbox Rewards around Game Pass, especially rewarding those who are part of its most complete plan. For the rest of the users, the benefits are smaller and even somewhat reduced than before, which limits the appeal of the program outside of the subscription.
Final tip
In any case, it’s a good idea to check your own Rewards app, as the adjustments may vary depending on the region and subscription you have active.
