Xbox fans can now earn an extra 150 Microsoft Rewards points by playing Game Pass titles across console, PC, and cloud gaming platforms as part of a new limited-time quest. The quest is currently only available to some US-based Ultimate subscribers, though its wider rollout remains uncertain.

Why it matters

Microsoft's Rewards program provides incentives for engaging with its gaming ecosystem, which can help drive adoption of services like Game Pass. This new quest could inspire players to explore the breadth of content available through the subscription, while also earning bonus points.

The details

The 'Game Pass monthly multi-platform' quest requires players to spend at least 30 minutes gaming on each of the three supported platforms - console, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. This is more time-intensive than other recent quests, which only asked for 15 minutes per title. However, the 150-point payout is significantly higher than the typical 50-100 points offered.

  • The new quest launched in February 2026.
