Over the past few days, some players have expressed frustration on social media and forums while trying to complete the WEBTOON promotion that gives away a month of Xbox Game Pass Premium. Many were reading the indicated episodes over and over, without receiving any reward, leading them to think that the promotion was broken or poorly designed.

And, to some extent, they were right. The key to the problem wasn’t what they were doing, but where they were doing it, something that wasn’t clearly explained in the original announcements.

The issue: the promotion DOES NOT work from a browser

• The promotion is only valid from the WEBTOON mobile app, not from PC or web browser.
• Those trying to complete the promotion from their computer could read the episodes correctly, but the system never activated the final form to send the code, making it impossible to receive the free month.

How to get the month of Xbox Game Pass Premium step by step (the correct way)

This is the only confirmed way to complete the promotion without issues:

Install the WEBTOON app

• Available on Android and iOS

• Create an account or log in

Find the official Sea of Thieves comic

• The title is Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite

• It’s the series directly linked to the promotion

Subscribe to the series

• Press Subscribe

• This step is important for your progress to be recorded

Read the 5 complete episodes before February 13, 2026

• Enter each episode

• Swipe to the end so the app marks the reading correctly

• Tips: wait a few seconds at the end of the last episode.

Enter your email when the form appears

• After finishing the fifth episode, a pop-up window will appear

• Enter your email and send the form

• If it doesn’t appear:

  • Disable ad blockers

  • Make sure you’re using the app, not the browser

  • Check that your region is compatible

Receive the code and redeem it

• The code may take from minutes to hours

• Redeem it on your Microsoft/Xbox account with the correct account

Watch out for dates

• Event active until February 13, 2026

• Deadline to redeem the code: March 15, 2026

How to avoid being charged after the free month

If the redemption activates automatic billing, you can disable it at any time:

• Enter Services and subscriptions with your Microsoft account

• Find Xbox Game Pass

• Press Manage

• Disable periodic billing

Why there was so much confusion

• The promotion was only for the app, but it wasn’t clearly indicated

• On PC, it doesn’t work, even if you complete everything correctly

• The key notice was hidden in the FAQs, not in the promotional banners

Once understood, the promotion works without problems and allows you to get a full month of Xbox Game Pass Premium for free in exchange for a few minutes of reading from your mobile device.
