The option to redeem Microsoft Rewards points for an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription is currently unavailable, and it is uncertain when this popular reward will be reinstated. Microsoft Rewards is a loyalty program that provides gamers with points that can be exchanged for a variety of products. For Xbox players, Microsoft Rewards offers the opportunity to acquire Xbox Game Pass Ultimate without any cost. By completing quests in both Microsoft Rewards and Xbox Game Pass, players have consistently earned enough points to avoid paying real money for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. In addition to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions, Microsoft Rewards points can also be used to redeem Xbox gift cards, Xbox Live Gold memberships, virtual currency in select games, gift cards for various retailers and food establishments, and more.
Many gamers have been utilizing Microsoft Rewards to effectively acquire Xbox Game Pass Ultimate without any charge. However, as of now, individuals attempting to utilize their points for a subscription renewal are encountering disappointment. At present, there is no given explanation for this issue, but Xbox Game Pass Ultimate codes are currently unavailable. Moreover, codes for the standard Game Pass are also not accessible. Nonetheless, gamers can still utilize Microsoft Rewards to obtain PC Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate codes have been missing from Microsoft Rewards for approximately a week. Some users have experienced a temporary return of the codes in their region, only for them to disappear again, while others have reported that the codes never resurfaced at all. The reason behind the disappearance of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate codes from Microsoft Rewards remains unclear, but there is a prevalent theory concerning this matter.
To provide context, Microsoft recently raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Nevertheless, this price increase did not result in an adjustment to the cost of the codes obtained through Microsoft Rewards. It is conjectured, although not confirmed, that Microsoft temporarily removed the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate codes from Microsoft Rewards until it could modify the number of points required to acquire them, aligning with the new real-money price increase.
If that is indeed the situation, fans can anticipate the potential return of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate codes to Microsoft Rewards in the near future. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that these codes will be reinstated. Alternatively, fans might have to opt for acquiring Xbox Live Gold subscriptions and converting them into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, albeit with a revised conversion ratio of 3:2 instead of the previous 1:1 ratio.
