Microsoft Expands Xbox Game Pass Quests to PC with New Rewards System

The updated program introduces daily, weekly, and monthly challenges while restricting rewards from gameplay to users aged 18 and older.

Xbox Game Pass Quests will now be available to PC Game Pass subscribers starting January 7, 2025, expanding beyond its previous console exclusivity.
The updated rewards system allows players to earn points through daily play, weekly streaks, and monthly challenges, with multipliers for consistent engagement.
Points earned can be redeemed for Xbox gift cards, in-game content, and donations, but gameplay-based rewards are now restricted to users aged 18 and older to promote age-appropriate gaming experiences.
The program has been streamlined to simplify quests and now includes region-specific expansions, with Japan gaining access to Game Pass Quests for the first time.
Players under 18 can still earn Microsoft Rewards points through approved purchases, searches on Bing, and non-gameplay activities, preserving previously earned points.
