Microsoft Making Big Changes to Game Pass Quests and Rewards

Enhanced Xbox Game Pass Rewards Program Launches January 7th

Starting January 7th, Xbox Game Pass is significantly upgrading its rewards program, introducing Quests for PC users and boosting earning opportunities. However, these enhanced features are exclusively for players aged 18 and older, prioritizing age-appropriate gaming experiences.

Key Changes:

• PC Game Pass Quests: PC Game Pass subscribers (18+) will now gain access to Quests and the Rewards Hub, previously exclusive to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This unlocks new avenues for earning points.

• New Quest Types: A variety of quests will be available, including:

  • Daily Play: Earn 10 points daily by playing any Game Pass title for at least 15 minutes.
  • Weekly Streaks: Playing at least five days a week earns points, with multipliers increasing for consecutive weeks (2x for two weeks, 3x for three, and 4x for four or more).
  • Monthly Packs: Earn points by playing four (Monthly 4-Pack) or eight (Monthly 8-Pack) different games (minimum 15 minutes each) per month. The 4-Pack games count towards the 8-Pack.
  • PC Weekly Bonus: 18+ players earn a 150-point bonus for playing at least 15 minutes for five or more days a week.

• Age Restriction: The Rewards Hub and all new Quest features are unavailable to users under 18. Younger players can only earn rewards through parental-approved purchases from the Microsoft Store.

The revamped system simplifies point accumulation with daily, weekly, and monthly challenges. The return of weekly streaks and the introduction of point multipliers incentivize consistent gameplay. Exploring the Game Pass catalog is also rewarded through the monthly pack quests.

Microsoft emphasizes its commitment to age-appropriate content, hence the age restriction on these new features. This update aims to provide more engaging and rewarding experiences for eligible Game Pass subscribers.
