Xbox and Twitch to give free games to new subs

Notably, this option is only available for new Game Pass members only, thus a player will need to make an account beforehand to make this work. Additionally, this is just a way for the streaming platform to experiment with how this collaboration might work in the future.

Apparently, Twitch in their official notice clarified this by saying, “This is an added benefit to everything you already receive from subbing to your favorite streamers, including custom emotes, badges, Channel Points multipliers, as well as ad-free viewing and sub-only chat — when enabled.”

What are some other criteria for gaining access to the feature?

Since this is just an experiment, the companies made sure that the people getting the benefits of this are limited. The report said, “After your purchase, a code is sent to your Twitch notifications inbox and will be available on the Drops & Rewards Inventory page for redemption on Xbox’s site. Reward redemption codes expire on November 18, 2022, at 11:59 PM PT, so make sure to redeem yours ASAP.”
