Some Xbox players have successfully pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto 6 without direct payment. These players utilized either points accumulated from an Xbox Mastercard or Microsoft Rewards points to cover the game's cost. The Standard Edition of GTA 6 is priced at $80, while the Ultimate Edition, which includes additional in-game content, costs $100.
One method involves using card points earned through the Xbox Mastercard. Purchases made with this card, particularly those from the Microsoft Store, streaming subscriptions, and food delivery services, generate points. This approach is more direct for those who already possess or are eligible for the credit card.
The Microsoft Rewards program offers a way to earn points through everyday tasks and activities. Users can accumulate points by making purchases in the Microsoft Store, completing quests on the Xbox mobile app, and engaging in various online activities. These quests include playing on PC and console, using the Xbox app, and maintaining weekly playing streaks. Game Pass subscribers can earn amplified points, with Ultimate subscribers receiving four times the standard rate.
Approximately 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points are equivalent to $1. To obtain the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition for free, a player would need to accrue 100,000 points and redeem them for a gift card. While this number may seem substantial, the variety of earning methods allows for gradual accumulation.
