Xbox Game Pass members can complete quests for Microsoft Rewards points

Microsoft is giving Xbox Game Pass members some extra incentive to play games from the service's catalog this month. For January, members will be able to tackle seven quests to earn up to 2,100 Microsoft Rewards points. What's more, you'll be able to continue racking up points every month with a fresh set of quests.

The seven quests on offer for January feature a mix of rewards for playing three specific games, as well as netting achievements in any game of your choice. Here's a look at the list:

  • Extraction Expert: Complete two specific extraction achievements in Tom Clancy's The Division to get up to 200 points. You earn points with each achievement. Complete this before January 31.
  • Metro Redux: Play Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux to complete four specific achievements and get up to 200 points. You earn points with each achievement.
  • Adventurer: Bring out your inner adventurer and get up to 200 points when you complete two specific achievements in Strange Brigade. You earn points with each achievement.
  • Achievement Hunter: Get points with your first achievement and continue to complete up to 21 achievements in any combination of Xbox Game Pass games to get a maximum of 600 points.
  • Genre Explorer: Get 300 points when you complete an achievement in three games from different genres.
  • Play something new: Complete an achievement in a Xbox Game Pass title that was added in December to get 100 points.
  • Quest Master: Complete all Xbox Game Pass quests to get an additional 500 points.

The only catch here is that, at least for now, the rewards are only available for Microsoft Rewards members located in the U.S.

To get started with the quests, you can head to the Xbox Game Pass membership area on your Xbox One and check them out. If you aren't already a Microsoft Rewards member, you'll be asked to sign up from your console. Points that you earn can be redeemed later for everything from DLC to additional Game Pass membership time and much more.

The current roster of quests will remain available through February 4, at which point Microsoft will issue a new set of quests for February.
