    This list is inaccurate. They removed the buggy "Sign into Mobile app" daily quest and reduced the requirements for "Quest Completionist"

    Looks like the daily Log in to the Game Pass mobile app is gone and the Quest Completionist is now set at only 20 daily quest (and 15 weekly still).

    Quest Dedication is also now only 6 daily quests.

    Methinks (given that most haven't changed for months) there's an element of the copy/paste going on here...

    Huh... this makes Game Pass Rewards worth even less, when they remove 3 and a half cents a week from the equation. That doesn't sound like much but it certainly adds up over time.

    Normally, this can be done by just installing Game Pass games that you already have installed. If that isn’t an option, try doing the smaller indie games. Usually 2 gigs or lower. Alvastia Chronicles was under 1 gig if memory serves.
    Recquiescat in pace.

    Use the same game you already have installed, 5 times. It works for me every time.

    Edit: Above beat me to it. Also, I was using Fractured Minds. It was a gig in size, thought it was smaller, but it still installed instantly.

    They removed gamepass login because on the recent update to the app and console they broke the connection, you have to use the beta app for last few days. As MS doesnt test shit anymore.. I think that its just a temporary thing for this month as its a short month while they try and fix it. (135 points your gonna miss out on oh well..)

    The app login quest wasn't working for me the last couple of days, this explains it. I won't miss it laugh

    This quest isn't even counting for me for some reason.

    I wish they'd ditch the 'perform 50 searches on Bing mobile' from the Rewards app, too - 50 on ANY version of Bing, fine - but I don't use my phone for data searches (especially now that I'm ALWAYS home due to COVID), so I end up blindly tapping the keyboard to do 50 gibberish searches the day before the end of the quest.

    YES. Every few weeks i'm literally searching numbers up to 50. I did learn that there are a surprising number of films which just have a number as a title, but that interest wore off a long time ago.

    I ended up using the Game pass Beta app, and it took 6 times to register the 5 times... They are tweaking things too much and breaking it all.

    I agree (but only because of my wife’s account which we don’t do the mobile searches on) but surely you are doing your 20 mobile searches for the MS Rewards dailies anyway? So get this each time non the less?

    Personally, I don't chase after the daily search bonuses. Yes, I realize it's leaving 'money on the table' but the time vs effort isn't worth it for me (and I'm getting old and don't always remember to do them anyway). I only care about the ones that are part of the weekly quest in the rewards app.

    I missed out on the 1000 points bonus by ONE daily quest on the last day.
    Which daily quest you ask? Well it was none other than the "Login into the GamePass mobile app" daily quest.
    Well I did try Microsoft but it didn't work.
    Microsoft = The gift that keeps on gving.
    Absolutely USELESS.

    Bing is that poor/bad that it takes 50 searches to find the thing you're looking for.

    Such a poor search engine. Ask Jeeves had more about it.

    Personally? I wish they'd ditch the whole 'Gamifying' of the system and just go back to only PC and mobile search based stuff. It's forcing me to play my games in a way that I absolutely hate myself doing. I can't just play a game because I'm afraid of missing out on a nickle. I get more from the PC and mobile searches and tasks anyway, but I still fall for the xbox and game pass rewards hook, line, and sinker. Anxiety and paranoia...

    Edit: OH, and get rid of that QUIZ that requires you to get ALL OF THE ANSWERS RIGHT when the writer can't always get his programming straight. I've missed answers because he didn't know which was correct. One time, there was a population question, and when I found the answer on Bing, it said it was wrong. When I checked Google search, the population was higher. I did notice recently with the same type of quiz, they added "According to Bing Search." Happens on Monday and Thursday, I dread those 2 days with a passion. Asshats.
