The bounty hunter retires

The Rewards Hunter, who has helped countless Microsoft Rewards users get the most out of the program, is retiring. This is largely due to the recent changes that have been made to the Microsoft Rewards program and the tasks that users are given to earn points.

Microsoft Rewards has given users a way to earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards, gifts, and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. However, it is also a program that undergoes regular changes. Some of these changes to Microsoft Rewards were seen as negative, as users were upset about things like reducing the number of points that could be earned or the way they were given out. In this particular case, it's the earning method that has changed, leading to Rewards Hunter stepping down.

MrBeast has broken a new milestone of YouTube subscribers

MrBeast has reached a major milestone on YouTube, breaking records with an unprecedented number of subscribers and cementing his place at the top.

Microsoft Rewards recently underwent a change that removed some of the harshest methods of earning points by playing games. Previously, Rewards Hunter helped users overcome some of the harder challenges, which usually involved things like completing certain tasks in games or unlocking specific achievements. However, many tasks can now be completed by simply playing the game for a set amount of time and returning to the game daily. As a result, there isn't much Rewards Hunter needs to show users how to do this, and they've announced that they're leaving the YouTube channel as a result.

Microsoft Rewards users are grateful for the help

Many users shared their appreciation for the channel following this announcement. Even Xbox's chief architect, Gary Waliczek, shared his appreciation and spoke to Rewards Hunter about the changes in a Twitter thread. After the content creator mentioned that the new version of the quests seemed to be simplified, Gary acknowledged this, noting that the simplification of the program's objectives was intentional, which could have the unintended effect of making the videos pointless. After mentioning his retirement, Gary posted a picture of the cheering audience and other fans of the user's work shared their thoughts and appreciation for their hard work making the program more accessible all this time and helping them get Xbox Game Pass subscriptions.

Since the Microsoft Rewards program is constantly evolving, there's always the possibility that the system could change so that fans need help again. In that case, it is hoped that the bounty hunter will return so that users can once again get as many free rewards as possible.
