GTA 6 Preorders Go Free for Some via Microsoft Rewards

GTA 6’s release was delayed to Fall 2025 for bug fixes, but a small group of players says they preordered the Ultimate Edition for free by accumulating about 98,000 Microsoft Rewards points through Bing searches and other Microsoft Store activities; while the Ultimate Edition is $99.99, earning that many points requires months or years of activity (Bing has a typical 5,000-point monthly cap, with Game Pass boosts possible). The article also notes there will be no physical edition and that preorders are open for Standard and Ultimate editions.

Microsoft Rewards Points Arrive at Xbox Checkout

Microsoft confirms that Xbox players will soon be able to spend Microsoft Rewards points directly at checkout in the Xbox Marketplace on consoles, though points can’t be used to redeem subscriptions. Game Pass subscribers can earn more points (up to four times) — double points for Premium, quadruple for Ultimate — when playing and shopping. The piece also notes a leadership shift, with Asha Sharma now Xbox CEO and signaling a renewed focus on loyal players, including discussions about Game Pass pricing and even Netflix bundling, though no date for the new points feature was announced.
