It's definitely been a few months of change for Microsoft Rewards, and that has continued today with the latest refresh for the Xbox Game Pass Quests program, which has made some major alterations to how players can earn points.
The main thing you'll notice is that there are no game-specific Quests for 5 or 250 points anymore - instead, the two other weekly Quests have been bumped from 10 points to 20 points, and the monthly "Quest Completionist" task now offers 1000 points rather than 500 points, but with significantly tougher requirements in order to finish it.
In a nutshell, this means that if you want to acquire as many points as possible from the Xbox Game Pass Quests program in 2024, you're going to need to put more work and a near-daily focus into it than you did in 2023.

KreatureKind is available on Steam and will be releasing on Xbox Series S|X & PlayStation 5 on June 27th.
Xbox owners are going to pay for Activision one way or another.
Game Pass price increases, no longer giving out games with gold, only a recycled set of games already on game pass, limiting access to Game Pass discounts and well as cutting the amount of time they last, changes to Microsoft Rewards and now Game Pass Rewards.
The cracks are already starting to show, eventually the costs will come in line with expenses.
This sounds like all Microsoft promotions.
The end of the good times
Whelp you're giving playstation more gamers my friend I'm sorry to say.
The Microsoft rewards program has been cracking down on how easy it is to get Gamepass for free.
I'm glad they removed the 15 minutes wait time between every 3 searches with Microsoft edge or bing or whatever. Nearly 200pts every day guaranteed!
