Xbox Spring Sale is now on – some users receiving £8/$10 gift cards from Microsoft

Microsoft has kicked off the Xbox Spring Sale on the Microsoft Store, slashing the prices across a wide range of games on the console and PC store, but some users (myself included) have also been surprised by Microsoft Gift Cards from the company, with store credit to the tune of £8/$10.

The free store credit is not an across the board reward for all users, but is being handed out to users seemingly at random – they’ve done similar in the past. If you’re lucky, it will appear as a message from Xbox Live (mine arrived at 10PM last night) and can be used across Games, Add-ons and Movies on the Microsoft Store. If you’re on your console, you can redeem it right then and there, or you can head to Xbox.com/RedeemCode. Codes are valid for redemption until 30th April 2021, and must be spent within 90 days before they expire.

Some Xbox users are receiving free £8 gift cards from Microsoft.

Looking at the sale itself, the offers are available now until 15th April, and include Watch Dogs: Legion down to £29.99, Control Ultimate Edition for £17.49, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for £4.99 or the Complete Edition for £6.99, BioShock: The Collection for £7.99 and plenty more besides. There’s also a small selection of Xbox 360 games on offer.

Here’s the full list of everything in the sale and the discounts available

Microsoft also has a small selection of Xbox 360 games on sale, playable via backward compatibility on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
