After five years of incredible run, Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox will reportedly be killed

Microsoft will reportedly discontinue the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox, a controversial move that practically ends its handsome incentives like weekly challenges and streaks. 

The move comes as the company transitions to a new Rewards hub on Xbox, which will provide a more streamlined and integrated rewards experience for players.

Several gamers have spotted a warning message on their consoles. The weekly series of activities in the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox will continue until the end of November, after which the app will be deactivated. 

Players will still be able to earn and redeem Rewards points through the new Rewards hub on Xbox. Its five-year run is finally coming to an end.

The original message is in Portuguese, but it’s been translated using Google Translate for clarity. The full message reads:

We recreate activities, which we simplify and more integrate players love. The Rewards experience on Xbox by making it revolve around gameplay and with the new Rewards hub on Xbox, players will no longer need to have separate apps to earn or redeem Reward points on Xbox Starting in December 2023, we will no longer publish offers in the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox, focusing instead on new one Rewards.
