These Xbox players got GTA 6 for free the hard way

GTA VI isn't cheap, but a few tricks can help make the price more manageable. The Standard Edition retails for $80, and the Ultimate Edition is $100. However, if you take advantage of the right Microsoft perks, you might be able to get the highly-anticipated title for free.

Multiple users on Reddit have shared success stories about free pre-ordered copies of GTA 6. One user utilized card points from the Xbox Mastercard, while another got theirs solely through accruing Microsoft Rewards via everyday tasks. The Microsoft Rewards route is a simple, risk-free way to get GTA 6 for free — or at least a greatly reduced price. 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points are roughly equivalent to $1, so you'll need to accrue 100,000 and trade them in for a gift card to get the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition at no cost.

Microsoft offers a slew of ways to earn Rewards both online and on your Xbox. One of the fastest ways to earn points is through making purchases in the Microsoft Store, but that defeats the purpose of any GTA 6 discount you'd receive in the future. On the Xbox mobile app, you can access Quests by tapping your profile picture and then viewing the Rewards tab.

These Quests let you earn points through actions like playing on PC and console, using the Xbox app and weekly playing streaks. Points earned from these are amplified if you have a Game Pass subscription, with Premium and PC Only subscribers earning two times the points and Ultimate subscribers four times as many. You can rack up Microsoft Rewards even when you aren't gaming by interfacing with the Microsoft Rewards dashboard.

Here you'll find short daily activities like polls and quizzes, as well as a myriad of ways to earn through specific Bing searches. By setting Bing as your default search engine and using the Bing app, you can acquire even more points and multiplier streaks over time. As you accrue points, you'll level up, which in turn means you earn larger Rewards from daily tasks.

With some diligence, by the time the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 rolls around in November, you could see a sizable discount.

GTA VI 并不便宜，但有一些技巧可以让价格更 manageable。标准版零售价为 80 美元，终极版为 100 美元。然而，如果你能利用合适的 Microsoft 权益，你或许可以免费获得这款备受期待的游戏。Reddit 上有多位用户分享了免费预购 GTA 6 的成功案例。一位用户利用了 Xbox Mastercard 的积分，另一位则完全通过日常任务积累 Microsoft Rewards 获得了免费副本。Microsoft Rewards 途径是一种简单、无风险的方式，可以让你免费获得 GTA 6——或者至少以大幅折扣的价格获得。1,000 Microsoft Rewards 积分大致相当于 1 美元，因此你需要积累 100,000 积分并兑换成礼品卡，才能免费获得 GTA 6 终极版。Microsoft 提供了多种在线和 Xbox 上的赚取 Rewards 的方式。最快的赚取积分方式之一是在 Microsoft Store 购物，但这反而削弱了未来你可能获得的 GTA 6 折扣。在 Xbox 移动应用上，你可以通过点击头像并查看 Rewards 标签来访问 Quests。这些 Quests 让你通过在 PC 和主机上玩游戏、使用 Xbox 应用以及每周游戏连胜等行为赚取积分。如果你拥有 Game Pass 订阅，这些积分还会被放大：Premium 和 PC Only 订阅者赚取双倍积分，Ultimate 订阅者则赚取四倍积分。即使你不玩游戏，你也可以通过访问 Microsoft Rewards 仪表板来积累 Microsoft Rewards。在这里，你会发现每日短任务如投票和测验，以及通过特定 Bing 搜索赚取积分的多种方式。将 Bing 设为默认搜索引擎并使用 Bing 应用，你可以随时间获得更多积分和倍数连胜。随着你积累积分，你会升级，这反过来意味着你从每日任务中获得更大的 Rewards。通过一些努力，等到 11 月 Grand Theft Auto 6 发布时，你可能会看到可观的折扣。
