In recent months, Microsoft has made several changes to rewards on Xbox. Recently, itdiscontinued theXbox Rewardsappand replaced it withRewards Hub, a one-stop solution. A few months ago, Microsoftintroduced Weekly Console Bonus, but it was limited to a few.

Now, as per reports, the XboxWeekly Console Bonuswill be available for everyone starting April’24. The bonus rewards players for being active participants in the Xbox ecosystem and playing games.

All you have to do is play any game on the Xbox console for 5 days a week. You don’t even have to spend too much time. Just open the game for a few seconds, and you will see a notification confirming that the activity has been completed.

After completing the weekly task, you can win 250 reward points. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will get an additional 25 points, taking their total to 275.

A few have had the XboxWeekly Console Bonusfor a few months now, while others should start receiving the new rewards soon.

Xbox Weekly Bonus is still a work in progress

As per the initial reviews, we can confirm that a few issues exist with the new rewards, and it doesn’t automatically register the activities.

Others, too, have echoed similar concerns. In a few cases, players had to wait 6-12 hours to redeem the coins.

With theRewards Hub, Microsoft aims to streamline the process and focus on games and fun activities. And we should hopefully see that happening!

Also, a simpler and straightforward rewards system will help Microsoft gain the players’ trust. Besides, suddenly discontinuing exciting and high-value rewards sends a wrong message, as was the case several times last year.

If your rewards points regularly expire,set up auto redeemand avail an additional discount!
