You can get a Gold Pass for free with only 5 minutes of your daily time. Here's how

Now that Microsoft announced Diablo IV is coming to Xbox Game Pass, it is time to buckle up and get that subscription going on for you. You can pay $16 a month for the Xbox Gold Game Pass, or you can get it for free by only spending 5 minutes of your daily time.

How? By using Microsoft Rewards. This Reddit user, for instance, tried it and they were able to get the subscription for free, and even buy games that were not on the game pass, by using rewards points rather than real money.

The thing with Microsoft Rewards is that the program is generally available everywhere, and by completing daily tasks (which don’t take a lot of your time, too), you can actually gather enough points to not only pay for a Gold Pass subscription but buy an Xbox console, as well.

You can complete various tasks, from quizzes, searching on Bing, or simply browsing the Internet on Microsoft Edge, instead of another browser, which can get you Rewards points.

If you already own an Xbox, the program will reward you with daily points just by playing games, as well. Microsoft Rewards also has weekly quests that you can complete on Xbox for extra points.

Overall, the maximum points that you can get daily are around 250-280, depending on the quests that are available that day.

In 10 days, you can get to 2500 points, while in 100 days (roughly three months), you can get enough points to allow you to pay the price of 2 months of the subscription, and still have some thousands left.

This won’t pay off at the beginning, but in 3 months, you’ll be able to pay the Xbox Gold Pass subscription using only Microsoft rewards points, so effectively, you’ll be getting it for free.

What do you have to do? 5-15 minutes daily on the regular Microsoft Rewards program, and just make sure you follow the Xbox weekly quests of the program, as well, as there you can get points by playing games.

The best thing about the program is that it’s designed in a way that feels as if you’re playing a game. And, when browsing Microsoft Edge, you won’t even notice that Microsoft will reward you.

However, if you actively seek to complete the daily quests, then you should follow our guide on how to get the maximum points daily on Microsoft Rewards.

You shouldn’t worry too much about Microsoft Edge, though. The browser is as fast (if not faster than) as Chrome, and it has several capabilities, including Copilot, which makes it very easy and useful when browsing the Internet.

All you have to do is log into your Microsoft account and complete the daily tasks. In less than 3 months, you will be able to have the Xbox Gold Pass for free.
