Microsoft Rewards recently underwent a change that has done away with some of the toughest methods of earning points by playing games. Previously, Rewards Hunter would help users get through some of the tougher challenges, which typically involved things like completing certain tasks in games or unlocking specific achievements. Now, though, many of the tasks can be fulfilled by simply playing a game for a set amount of time, and returning to play on a daily basis. As a result, there isn’t much for Rewards Hunter to need to show users how to do, and he’s announced that he’s stepping away from the YouTube channel as a result.
Microsoft Rewards Users are Grateful for the Help
Many users have shared their appreciation for the channel in the wake of this announcement. Even the principal architect at Xbox, Gary Waliczek, has shared his appreciation, talking to the Rewards Hunter about the changes in a Twitter thread. After the content creator mentioned that it seemed like the new version of quests had been simplified, Gary acknowledged that, noting that making the program goals simpler was intentional, which could have the unintended effect of making the videos unnecessary. After the retirement mention, Gary posted an image of an audience applauding, and other fans of the user’s work shared their thoughts and appreciation for their hard work making the program more accessible all this time and helping them to earn Xbox Game Pass subscriptions.
Since the Microsoft Rewards program is constantly shifting, there’s always a possibility that the system could change in a way that fans need help again. In that case, one can hope that the Rewards Hunter makes a return so that users can earn as many freebies as possible again.
