Did you know you can earn enough Microsoft Rewards points to pre-order any game you want - including GTA 6?

Well, a player managed to do just that. The best part? He saved enough to get the Ultimate Edition for free, which would normally cost $100. However, the amount of points they accumulated required significant effort, so this method is not for the weak.

Here's how one gamer saved up enough Microsoft Rewards points to get GTA 6 for free.

The player exchanged 100,000 Microsoft Rewards points, which took them almost 3 years to collect, for a $100 Microsoft Store gift card. From there, they just went to the GTA 6 listing on the Microsoft Store and used the card at checkout.

To earn points, you need to complete daily tasks, use Bing, and purchase on the Microsoft Store and Xbox Consoles. If you're a Game Pass subscriber, you can earn up to 4x more points and receive point bonuses on select game purchases. Unlocking game achievements also scores you points.

In theory, it's easy to earn the points. However, it's not easy to earn 100,000 points (or more). That hasn't deterred people from trying, though. On r/grandtheftauto, user Relevant_Reindeer_90 revealed they were working to get the $100 Xbox Gift Card you can claim with Microsoft Reward Points. In their screenshot, they currently have 33,811 points.
