Xbox owners are reportedly being given free Xbox credit for playing one of Ubisoft’s most popular multiplayer games.
Every now and then, Xbox players are randomly treated to some freebies, whether it be due to their Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, a special event, or just out of the goodness of Microsoft’s heart.

That’s reportedly the case this week, as users who’ve played Ubisoft’s tactical FPS, Rainbow Six Siege, are receiving free Xbox store credit, worth $5/£5.
This was shared by Reddit user Representative-Cut58, who posted a picture of a message from the Xbox team thanking them for playing Ubisoft’s title, along with a free $5 credit code. The user was initially weary of the freebie, as hackers and scammers have used similar tactics in the past to steal personal information.
Other Xbox fans confirmed that if the message came from the Xbox team, it would be real, though why random store credit is being given out for Rainbow Six Siege has many scratching their heads.
“Not sure I was wondering the same thing I just got that message like an hour ago”
“If it's a redeem code, put it in the redeem section. But yes, I've heard and seen people getting these randomly. I've never gotten one, but people do get these.”
“Getting paid to play a Ubisoft game, I would still feel scammed.”
Weirdly, the codes have only been sent out to certain Rainbow Six Siege players, not all of them, and even weirder is some are receiving codes for different rewards for playing completely different games.
“I had this exact same message a couple of days ago but instead it was Thanks for playing Apex Legends and they offered me a free battle pass, still didn't make me want to go back to that game”
So, if you’ve played Rainbow Six Siege in the past year, keep an eye on your Xbox message inbox, you might be due some free store credit.
