If you're an active Microsoft Rewards user, you've probably made use of the "auto redeem" feature for Xbox and PC Game Pass at some point. It's a convenient way to keep your membership going without spending much (or anything at all!).
However, some Microsoft Rewards members have recently received emails suggesting a price hike could be coming soon. The change likely won't be limited to just "auto redeem" users, but will affect them as well. According to the email, the price increase is expected to take place around April 20, 2025. Additionally, the current "auto redeem" options will be replaced, meaning users who rely on this feature will need to resubscribe to the new versions at that time.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s been going on: Looking at the UK’s "redeem" section on Microsoft Rewards, the current method for redeeming Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for 12,000 points and PC Game Pass for 7,750 points via the "auto redeem" option is still available. However, two new versions of these options have recently appeared: one for 17,000 points (Xbox Game Pass Ultimate) and one for 10,500 points (PC Game Pass).
To sum it up, it appears that starting in April 2025, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will increase from 12,000 points to 17,000 points, while PC Game Pass will rise from 7,750 points to 10,500 points. It’s likely that non-auto redeem versions of these memberships will also see similar price increases at that time.
