For Xbox gamers on Xbox One or Xbox Series X, Microsoft Rewards is essential. Those that take the time to complete Microsoft Rewards quests can essentially get services like Xbox Game Pass for free, amounting to huge savings for relatively little effort. Microsoft Rewards points can be earned for free most of the time, but there are occasionally instances where fans can get extra points when making certain purchases.
Microsoft has now launched the Summer Spotlight 2022 promotion on Xbox consoles, spotlighting 75 games between now and when it wraps up on September 6. Those who spend $50 on eligible Summer Spotlight games will be rewarded with an extra 5,000 Microsoft Rewards points. The deal essentially amounts to spending $50 to get $5, so anyone that was planning on buying some of these games anyway should definitely make sure to take advantage of the promotion.
To see the games eligible for the Summer Spotlight 2022 Microsoft Rewards promotion, Xbox users simply need to navigate to the Microsoft Rewards app on their consoles. From there, click on the title labeled Summer Spotlight punch card. Then once gamers have spent $50 buying the eligible games, they will be rewarded with a bonus 5,000 Microsoft Rewards points that they can use however they'd like.
Some of the highlights available right now include bizarre 3D platformer Hell Pie, stylish FPS game Severed Steel, the cozy game Time on Frog Island, and the new dinosaur MMO Path of Titans. Some games listed in the Summer Spotlight are also available to play with an Xbox Game Pass subscription, like well-received co-op puzzle game Escape Academy, so fans may want to compare the lineup to Game Pass before making any purchases.
It's likely that the lineup of Summer Spotlight 2022 games eligible for the Microsoft Rewards promotion will change in the weeks ahead. After all, Microsoft has highlighted some specific games that aren't currently part of the promotion, like Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed and Cult of the Lamb, and it would be weird for them to be given the spotlight if they aren't going to be added to the Microsoft Rewards deal.
Besides video games, there are also some movies and TV series available to purchase to complete the Summer Spotlight 2022 punch card. Right now, some of the choices include award-winning films like Argo and The Shawshank Redemption, though different films will be made available in the weeks ahead.
