It's Microsoft Rewards time! In addition to the new January 2023 Monthly Bonus Round punch card on Xbox, we've also got a second punch card this month in which you can acquire an extra 500 points for very little work.
The punch card is called "Xbox Game Pass Hidden Gems" and requires you to obtain one achievement from a list of Xbox Game Pass games. Here are some really easy achievements you can complete for this:
- Bugsnax - Everybody Gets One (Catch your first bug at the start of the game)
- Floppy Knights - One and Done (Complete the first tutorial level)
- Hollow Knight - Falsehood (Defeat the first boss)
- Kentucky Route Zero - I bet a dog will eat it (In Act 1, talk to the dog and offer a treat)
- Disc Room - Strong Science (Defeat the first boss)
The Xbox Game Pass Hidden Gems punch card is available throughout January 2023, so you've still got until the end of the month to complete it. We've verified that it's available in at least the US and UK.
If you're new to it all, we've got a few guides about the program here at Pure Xbox, including how to make 20,000 points per-month with Microsoft Rewards - or even more in some cases!
