The new Microsoft Rewards Quest will help you earn extra points

by

Important things to remember

  • Microsoft Rewards offers 1,000 bonus points for playing PC games every week in Germany and Mexico
  • The daily PC gaming bonus in these regions has been reduced from 20 points to 10 points per day.
  • Some users are frustrated by the change, but overall, Microsoft Rewards offers free benefits.



Microsoft Awards It's giving some users a new way to earn 1,000 points per month, which could be a huge boon for some Microsoft Rewards users, especially given some of the changes the program has undergone over the years.

Microsoft Rewards is a program that awards points to users for activities they do every day, like playing games on their consoles or searching on the web. The number of points users can earn is limited, so they need to think carefully about what they want to redeem their points for. A thousand extra points per month could make a big difference for some people, but it's not accessible to everyone.


On Sept. 16, Microsoft Rewards notified select members that the service would be adding a new bonus system for users who play games on PC. According to the press release, Microsoft Rewards users can earn a weekly bonus of 250 points as long as they play games on PC 5 days a week. This bonus can be earned at any time from Monday to Sunday. If users complete this task each week, they will earn an extra 1,000 points throughout the month, which they can redeem for items like Xbox Game Pass and gift cards. There are some conditions, though.


1,000 Microsoft Rewards PC Gaming Bonus Details

To start, this bonus is only available in Germany and Mexico at the time of writing. Microsoft Rewards sometimes launches in different regions before the global change, so if you’re lucky, users in other regions may have to wait a bit longer.


Another detail is that the daily PC gaming bonus has been adjusted for these users, reducing the bonus from 20 points per day to 10 points. In other words, in a 30-day month where a user plays on PC every day, the earnings will be cut from 600 points to 300 points. So for active users, this new bonus pool will be the same as earning 700 extra points per month, not the full 1,000 points. However, the more flexible 5-day per week bonus should appeal to those who can’t play every day of the week.

Some users have complained about the many changes that have happened to the service over the years, with bonuses coming and going and Microsoft Rewards changing its price. At the end of the day, Microsoft Rewards is a free service that gives users free rewards, so while it may be frustrating to see reduced benefits, it's better than the service shutting down altogether.
