FM22 can be loaded up with the cloud

Edith you need to play through for about 10mins, also on cloud. Pretty easy game to complete so no spoilers, but just follow the pretty straight forward route until the strange stuff starts happening haha

Pay Day isn’t tracking for me, done all the others no problem over the past weeks.

Xcloud is now available through you Xbox. If you go to Settings, Updates, then at the top it’ll load the latest update. Taken me about 30mins then it’s on the home page.

Of course I’d already downloaded Conan after it wouldn’t play on my phone very well 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

@ViolentD78 not tracking for me either

EDIT: Should have read above haha, will be playing this non stop for a while TBH

This Quest will not be completable until Forza Horizon 5 launches on November 9th.

Chicken Possible with the old tie your analog sticks to the right and watch your guy walk for 2 miles or whatever The Long Dark needs.

So glad I didn’t delete Flight Sim! Massive download for the separate punch card and now it’s one of the weekly rewards

@FraserG hope you’re alright mate and just enjoying a nice holiday 😀

@WCB my SoD is tracking. Started a new game, follow the missions to get a new base killing a couple of zombies. Then next mission some be scavenging. Then head to help new recruits and kill a couple more zombies and collect the plague samples. Hand them over and when talking click to recruit the member.

Repeat this twice… even though there were 3 people where I went it only recruited one of them due to not having enough points.

Horizon 4 to download again 🤦🏻‍♂️ Might have to put it on an external hard drive with the amount of times it appears. Minecraft is another one, and both look like 5-10min tasks.

State of Decay probably best to start a new game or load an early save.

Not sure of the others so awaiting advice 😀

Is anyone else’s Task 4 of the September monthly bonus not ticking off? I completed the weekly set a few days ago and still not ticking off here.

EDIT: Seems a few people have the same issue 😕

EDIT 2: It’s now ticked and 2k awarded

Nice to have an easy week of rewards, also week 89 of the weekly sets so on for a nice 2500pts bonus 😀

Good to see Cluster Truck back, got addicted to it last time.

Dam hunting game though FFS

@ralphdibny cheers for that.

Halo pops when it’s ready to play on Xbox rather than downloading it all 😀

Some huge downloads again on every game but all pretty easy to complete, although For Honor took me a few games.

Chicken Possible / Teward Hunter has a walkthrough for For Honor.
https://youtu.be/u9zvXoT81ng

He also has a group on Xbox as well where you can message other players to do multiplayer games where you could arrange to stand still so someone else gets 3 kills then they do it for you etc

Quantum Break can be done before the game fully installs. You also get an achievement playing through to the first gun battle.

Chicken Possible back with a vid for State of Decay

I’ve had no issue with tracking so far.

Also if anyone is looking to do the Gears 5 reward check Chicken Possible

Good to see Descenders back 😀

I got a little lost on Beholder (might have skipped too much) but o found the usual Chicken Possible vid for it

10k gamerscore challenge is back so here’s a list of the easiest games to complete. A lot have walkthroughs, some of the best ones you can complete in just a few minutes!

https://www.trueachievements.com/xbox-game-pass/games?order=CompletionTime

Haven’t played Resident Evil since the last reward so the save was already there for me 😀

Also done Evil Within pretty easily but both horrible games haha

Mine craft another easy one following above instructions.

No achievements on any of these three.

Only starting monthly now 9:50 UK, trying SoD first...

Unlike the above route, I did the mission as I needed an achievement for the day and got one for going to the Ranger Station.

At this point I’ve got 6/11 kills and it HAS recorded them 😀

My stick snapped on 8 kills then I went to punch the next guy as above but my character used a knife.

All 11 have registered 😀

Taken 10mins.

Didn’t noticed the Star Wars reward was only the 4th 😕

Madden is exactly the same as last time to play an exhibition, online head to head, then after kick off pause it and concede game.

Also when I download the reward games I tend to locate them on the rewards app on Xbox and it’ll download the right version. In the first week I’ll use the mobile app to get the Games on the Go reward.

If anyone already has a save for Elder Scrolls (not sure why I had one, probably a previous reward).

All I did was open my map and took note of the name of the area ‘Astro’s M’Kai’ (I thought I was on the ship mentioned above but wasn’t. Then I googled the map and Shards and there’s 3 located on that specific map.

Anyone noticed on the Home Screen it has ‘Earn 2X Points. Get Rewards’. It takes you to the quests page but nothing has changed. I just did the PUBG reward to test it and only got 150 not 300 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m about to start Alien reward as stated above, last time I remember it that you turned around and hid back in the pod you’d started in.

First edit: seen the alien after 30 seconds and it just walked away.

@ViolentD78 @dAvecaster I can vouch for this, I have a target for the £25 voucher around 28k but usually hit around 30-35k and either get a new game half price or buy a battle pass or something for basically free.

Game pass is great, been playing a lot of Outriders this week, like a £60 game for nothing 😀

Nier if you turn on the auto stuff it literally plays the game for you 😂 Reward popped before you go to ground but I played on through the level for the daily achievement to pop as well.

2mins - Reward
10mins - Achievement

@ralphdibny haha I try not to think of the actual value of each quest, just have my £25 gift card goal to aim for and 200pts is a nice boost towards it. This last week we’ve had the Comic Relief 1k and monthly 2k as well

@ralphdibny cheers for that, I’ve actually gone and gotten it in first battle as attackers, plus I think I joined half way into it.

Also for injustice I got an achievement for not being hit in first 10 seconds if people are trying to avoid that.

I think Battlefield is gonna be a tough one, and the size of the download I might even give it a miss 😕

Got an achievement for winning first multiplayer game on Titanfall before then getting the reward as the stats showed up.

@count_midge I just find a game that has about 50 achievements and is relatively easy to hit 1000GS. And for when the 10k challenge comes up I fly through others.

I’m playing other games like Project Cars and COD and if an achievement pops that’s my daily done, if it hits about 11pm without one I’ll load up my easy game.

Day Of The Tenticle is my current game of choice. Below is a list of Game Pass games that I list by time to complete.

https://www.trueachievements.com/xbox-game-pass/games?order=CompletionTime

Nice to see the 1000pts completed so early, even though they’ve brought back the app opening reward 😀

Also thanks to @LegendOfPeach for helping with the daily achievement I needed.

Daily app login is back, shame these weeks two games are massive downloads again though.

Never thought I’d have to download Fifa 20 ever again. If you’re still struggling on easy and with two controllers connected you can change setting to have 100 accuracy and 0 AI goalkeeping etc.
Also if you don’t want any achievements you might be best of quitting the game before getting first win and try not to score with a defender.

EDIT: I can confirm scoring in Volta works once the game hits Ready To Start. I’d scored a second when it popped, just a short delay.

For Witcher I’ve started following the above but when I first clicked Simulate Save Off it’s said ‘Please wait for game content’. There’s a new loading bar in game for a minute or two and the game has started on 34%. I had no options to skip anything and after racing the kid was in a fight tutorial but could draw my sword. Gonna let it completely download over night and try again.

EDIT 2: Restarted it once fully downloaded as I couldn’t draw my sword and all the skip options were there and I completed the reward.

Not sure about the ducks in The Hunter, maybe it was because my game started in the dark. I managed to sneak up on a rabbit this time, however I also got 5 different achievements in the space of an hour while at first chasing after some elk or something but never killing one.

Greedfall when you start turn right and walk to the end. It’s West you’re travelling in then the alley is on the right at the end. It auto saves when you’re first outside so just pause and click load.

Human Fall Flat is easy as above.

Terraria is also easy but I find when it gets dark I just restart it as the zombies are annoying.

Yeah they’ve removed the Login To App 5pts but they’ve reduced the 1000pt requirements.

I’m lucky that one of my mates is doing these now, otherwise how annoying is it that this week doesn’t have a reward to only open the game, got to play Madden online and I hate the game as much as I love NFL haha

@Beermonkey I’ve just started this, match took a few minutes to find but I got one heal and me and that person survived. Mainly running about other than hiding.

And as stated above, the ‘Medic’ achievement is now showing 1% of 100 heals

EDIT: Lasted less than a minute in 2nd game haha, the enemy changed to a fast moving ghost. First game was a much slower Mike Myers type.

EDIT 2: Played about 8 games and managed to get 3 full heals and reward popped instantly.

I didn’t find it too hard, it really depends on how good the person playing the bad guy is, or how lucky you are to avoid him.

Twice I managed to pick a couple of people off hooks and heal them, the first time I healed someone running about with me.

I’ve deleted the game instantly though as it’s horrible being chased haha

@Krzzystuff I’ve just got 1000GS on Fallen Jedi 😀 absolutely brilliant game and so glad it appeared in rewards 😀

@Krzzystuff I haven’t got it. Is it only an Android app or can it work on PC/Laptop? I own an Xbox and an iPhone.

EDIT: Just took me about 10mins to complete, was some large groups of 8-10 on the ground plus a few groups of 4/5.

@FraserG Big downloads so I’ve not finished either, but I’m pretty sure we’ve had the Batman one before and you just went to ground level and there were groups of thugs dotted about.

I’m not sure if I’ve understood the Sims write up but I started a new game, skipping tutorial, randomised 3 characters, then it’s starts with no house. I clicked fast forward along the bottom for about 2mins and was done, no achievements.

@Krzzystuff Ive been playing Sniper Elite and I’ve started Star Wars but Cyberpunk just came out so that’s my main game at the moment.

BTW I can’t get the 250pts punchcard to work for Cyberpunk but the achievement part has ticked off.

My daily’s are fine, we’re a little slow like a minute or two but all popped. Sometimes there isn’t any for a day or two at the end of a period before the Tuesday reset I think.

Small update for current rewards...

Sniper Elite I avoided achievements because I didn’t blow up the truck as stated I just shot people around the map. Complete accident haha

Mine craft I would recommend holding RT and targeting green/brown blocks (grass/dirt) as they’re quicker to break than the grey concrete.

I ended up with an achievement as something started firing arrows at me so I killed it.

Final Fantasy seemed to taken more than 10 goblins unless it was just slow to pop, I hadn’t died when it popped so may have been that the level or game hadn’t ended yet like some rewards need before popping.

Did anyone manage to get Pillars of Eternity to complete? I’m still on 3/5 and it’s all I have left after just getting the 1000pts today anyway.

https://account.microsoft.com/rewards/?refd=www.bing.com

Hope this link work, you get 3pts per Bing mobile search and 60pts per day. Basically just open Bing and click all the news articles or search A, B, C, or sometimes I find one of the links down the page like today is ‘Disney Fan’ and you just click on 20 actors and that’ll get you the 20 searches for 60pts.

As just said there’s a few more links to click down the page worth 10pts each and some quizzes etc worth 30-50pts.

And finally the three near the top are daily bonuses that get bigger if you get a streak of days completing/clicking them.

Then on Xbox as well as the rewards listed on this page, there’s also a few on main screen just opening and closing the odd game clip for 5pts, and there’s web searches worth up to 90pts same as on the mobile app just opens Edge and Home Screen might be a picture of a Bird so click the link bottom right and you’ll get a link to another 20/30 birds so there’s all your 90pts of searches.

Then I might buy the odd new game, like the new COD earns you 6k.

EDIT: Also I’ve just gotten my 50 week streak bonus for the Xbox rewards getting me 2500pts (100pts per week and 2500 every 10 week streak).

3 tasks, usually pretty easy to get over a week...

Watch a vid - open and close
50 Bing searches - Do that anyway
3 achievements - I get one daily already for 50pts

@Krzzystuff Game Pass and games.

I used to get the 3 months of Game Pass with my points, and because I do a lot on Xbox and Mobile I could usually get 3 months worth every 2 months.

However I got Game Pass as part of my new Xbox deal so now I’m using reward points on just games and also bought a Play and Charge kit off the store.

@FraserG not sure if you’ve noticed Gears Tactics was also added to the monthly rewards to get an achievement. I’d say the quickest was that you get a kill (maybe two) from shooting then you unlock chainsaw and can run up and kill someone else with that to pop the reward.

I’ve uninstalled it now, it’s not as good as the normal game IMO.
