Free Xbox gift cards for playing games

An Xbox gift card adds money to your Microsoft account, which is what you shop with on Xbox consoles and in the Microsoft Store on Windows. With Playout you can get a free Xbox gift card by playing casual games on your phone: every finished level adds coins, the coins become real money, and you cash that out as Xbox credit. You never pay anything; your playtime does the work.

How to get a free Xbox gift card in 3 steps

1. Install Playout and pick a game. Get Playout free from Google Play; there’s no sign-up form, and your account lives on your phone. Every game on the shelf installs free from Google Play. Browse the games to find one you like.
2. Finish levels. Each finished level adds coins. Every four hours, all your coins convert into real money in your balance, which keeps stacking until you cash out.
3. Cash out for Xbox. Once you reach the minimum, tap your balance at the top of the Home screen and choose an Xbox gift card. Open the email, accept the reward, and redeem the code on your Microsoft account.

The gift cards you can pick depend on your country, and the app shows the ones available to you. The minimum is low, set per currency and shown in the app, and payouts go out in round amounts, with anything above staying in your balance for next time.

What you can get with an Xbox gift card

An Xbox gift card adds money to your Microsoft account balance. You can spend it on:

• Digital games for Xbox consoles and Windows PC in the Microsoft Store.
• Add-ons and in-game currency for the games you play.
• Xbox Game Pass, the subscription with a library of games to play.
• Apps, movies and shows from the Microsoft Store.

Because the balance sits on your Microsoft account rather than on one device, the same money is there on your console and on a Windows PC signed in to that account.

How to redeem your Xbox code

Your Xbox gift card arrives by email, usually within minutes. In the app’s payout history, “Sent” means the email is already in your inbox. Open it, accept the reward, and you’ll have your code. Then redeem it in one of these places:

• In a browser: go to redeem.microsoft.com, sign in to your Microsoft account and enter the code.
• On Xbox: open the Microsoft Store on your console, find the Redeem option and enter the code.
• On Windows: open the Microsoft Store app, select your profile and choose to redeem a code.

Once you confirm, the money is added to your Microsoft account balance, ready for your next purchase.

Ways to earn coins faster

Every finished level counts, and these extras help each round add up sooner:

• Grow your daily streak. Finish 5 levels in any game each day. Every streak day raises a coin boost, and because it’s based on your best streak, it stays with you. See the daily streak.
• Claim the daily challenges. Finished challenges give you tickets, and a full set unlocks a dice roll for bonus coins. See daily challenges.
• Collect Live Event items. The weekly Live Event rewards finished levels with items, and collecting enough wins a share of the prize pool as money in your balance. See the Live Event.
• Play with friends. Share your username as your invite code: your friend starts with 2x earnings for 48 hours, and each qualified friend adds +5% to your coin boost. See inviting friends, and send gifts to friends every day.

Every game on the shelf counts. Sort nuts and bolts in Screw Blast!, match tiles in Mahjong Smart, or clear the board one tap at a time in Tile Tap!. Think of it as Xbox credit for time you’d spend on your phone anyway, a fun bonus that grows with how much and how regularly you play.

Other rewards

Your balance can also become a PlayStation gift card, a Nintendo eShop gift card, or a Steam gift card for PC games. Prefer cash? Pick PayPal. Our guide to free gaming gift cards compares them all.
