Microsoft Xbox 'achieve more, earn more' moving to Game Pass Quests met with backlash

Microsoft Xbox’s Achieve More, Earn More (AMEM) was one of the most popular rewards methods that allowed one to earn 50 points daily if they complete an in-game accomplishment.

AMEM had been suffering from frequent outages for the past few days and players were just getting rewarded 5 points a day.

However, the company recently migrated AMEM to Game Pass Quests and it looks like this decision has not been well received by some gamers.

According to reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10), multiple Xbox owners are disappointed with the company’s recent move of migrating the ‘achieve more, earn more’ scheme to Game Pass Quests.

Microsoft Quests are tasks you accomplish in order to earn rewards in your game library.

However, the company has now made it mandatory for a player to have the Game Pass Ultimate subscription in order to access quests and earn 50 points daily.

This is understandably unacceptable for some players as these points added up considerably over the year, and could be redeemed for a variety of things.

One of those affected says that it doesn’t make sense to have a game pass feature intertwined with games outside of the game pass.

I’m hoping it doesn’t get added to the monthly completion quest because it will make the whole thing not worth doing for me.

So, only people with gamepass ultimate can get the rewards for the daily achievement.

However, a section of players (1,2,3,4) is happy with the company’s decision of moving AMEM to Game Pass Quests. Allegedly, they were frustrated because of the frequent AMEM outages.

We are hopeful that players won’t experience frequent outages on Game Pass Quests like AMEM. Granted, we’ll keep an eye on this topic and update this story as soon as we come across any new information.
