These recent changes to Microsoft Rewards are definitely worrisome. Over the last year or so they gutted the Microsoft Rewards for Xbox app, removing more and more point opportunities, and have now announced they are ending the app altogether. Meanwhile, the replacement for that app, the Xbox Rewards beta app that you access as a tab on your Xbox profile, recently had it's 50 points per day for earning an achievement in a Gamepass game shrunk all the way down to 5 points per day (a whopping 90% decrease), and now Xbox didn't promise that an equivalent number of points to what we are losing from the old Microsoft Rewards for Xbox app will be added to the Xbox Rewards app in recompense. Now this change to Microsoft Rewards on PC where you can no longer spam all of your searches at once, making it way harder to get all 250 points per day. These changes coupled with Phil talking about how Xbox may have to raise Gamepass pricing more in the near future, which will of course subsequently raise Gamepass point pricing in Rewards, and I am now very concerned as a gamer who operates on a low budget.
