It’s always nice to get a free video game once in a while but what about hundreds of free video games to play out our fingertips? That will certainly pique our interest.

With subscription services such as PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass, we can play a wealth of video games whether it be downloading them to our hard drive or if we have a capable internet connection, we can stream them allowing us to jump into a game within mere seconds. It’s certainly a great time to be a video game enthusiast

The best version of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription service is the Ultimate tier which also includes the EA Play subscription as well as a whole host of other benefits including the aforementioned cloud streaming. So if you want to play the likes of Starfield, Forza Motorsport or Gears 5 in an instant, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the way to go. However, what if you could get six months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for no cost whatsoever, how awesome would that be?

Well, as brought to our attention by a Reddit user, we can claim free subscriptions thanks to Microsoft Rewards, a reward scheme that treats us to points for buying games, apps and internet browsing using Bing. If you know how to play the system, you can even gain points without spending a single penny. Those points can be redeemed against free Xbox store credit, giveaways and of course the topic of today’s discussion, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

“Thanks, Microsoft Rewards! Six months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for free without spending anything,” exclaimed Kenkukk. The Reddit user shared a screenshot of the breakdown which led to six months of free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

“I'm at three years stacked Xbox Game Pass Ultimate courtesy of Microsoft Rewards. Not paid for Game Pass or Gold in many many years. As long as I have 10,500 points on my account at the end of every month, this should continue indefinitely,” revealed shaf74. “Let’s go! I just used another 70k points yesterday to top off my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as well. Back to three full years free,” replied PossessionTrick8633. “I think my sub ends February 2027.”

So there you have it, if you can get into the habit of taking advantage of Microsoft Rewards with everyday internet activities, it could be far more rewarding than we realised.
