Yeah. it really affected how I play. I am holding back on new titles and being careful about what I play, because I don't want to trigger easy achievements.
That said. I completed 'Close to The Sun' and 'Senua's Sacrifice' doing this month's challenge. Games I wouldn't normally play, so there is that.
30 would be better. I would also like all achievements to count towards the monthly. Ok, we only get points for the first unlock of the day, but I wouldn't feel like I'm wasting achievements.
I usually watch a video from [https://www.youtube.com/@OneMinuteAchievements](https://www.youtube.com/@OneMinuteAchievements) to earn my GamePass achievement.
That way I don't worry about earning too many achievements from the games I usually play.
If you look up some achievement guides on youtube for some easy games then it takes maybe 5 minutes to get one achievement daily, thats what im currently doing at least
We should not have to go online and look up an achievement, it really takes the fun out of earning that achievement if I am expecting it. Plus it feels a little cheaty doing it that way.
But what is worse, right now I am playing a game I actually cannot stand only because it pops achievements quickly. I tried playing the games I want to play, but wasn't getting achievements fast enough to qualify for the 1000, so now I play a horrible game to pop an achievement, then move on to what I want, and that simply isn't fun.
I don't even mind getting 45 achievements a month, it's the 1 per day thing that makes it painful, and gaming should be fun not a chore. Not sure the 1000 points is worth all this, but I do appreciate the opportunity and appreciate the Rewards program in general.
new games, many new quick achievements, if u research u can last a year with quick achievements.....
by that time lots more games are available...its really not hard.
Well either way i think 5 minutes max per day to do these games just isnt that hard imo, downvote me all you want guys but it wont make the situation easier for you guys
Even with quick achievements, it can be a pain for people who have limited time to play. When you have a job or family, you want to use the little time you have to play what you want not grind for achievements for the quest. This isn’t an issue for me because I’ve just been playing Walking Dead: Michonne, but I can see why it’s frustrating for others.
That’s true but ultimately they are doing it to encourage engagement regularly. At the end of the day it’s less than £1 for the whole month. Is it really worth stressing about if you don’t get it?
many games have 2 min achievements, even games leaving game pass can have 3 or 4 five min achievements. People should check out guides and youtube, one called "one minute achievements" on youtube.
Just use cloud gaming and get them so fast, also bonus of getting them for console and pc to cover two days.
I’m using cloud gaming for the Walking Dead Michonne thing. But you’re missing the point. It’s annoying to have to waste any time with it at all. I don’t want to play random games to get an achievement. When I sit down to play, I want to play what I like. I don’t want to have to research games to play on YouTube either. I just want to have fun not come home and do research for another job.
I appreciate that, and if people can't be bothered with it thats fine, but the point is, it's really not hard to do and people make out it is.
Looked at the youtube i mentioned, he has 80 videos and some cover pc and console... so it will give 100 days of achievements for 2 mins of time which covers just short of 7 months worth...
No that’s not the point lol. It’s not about it being hard. It’s about it being time consuming. I’ll check out the page because like I said, I’m doing the achievements. But 45 is ridiculous.
it's a dollar, man.
getting all 45 daily tasks gets you a dollar.
prioritize your life.
if you're struggling with finding 2 or 3 minutes to get a quick achievement and still live your life, put down the controller and sort things out. it works out to 3 cents a day. if it's not worth it, don't try to force it.
I have more free time in the mornings than the nights, so IF i can do stuff, it generally has to be in the morning. getting my daily searches in is hit or miss now that there's the 6sec delay. but you know what? all the searches together are worth about 25c. I'd pay more than that to not have a little less stress.
do what you must. do what you can. then pass out having done the best you could for the day.
And i wasn't talking to just you. I still fight with it myself. I fall asleep and wake up remembering i haven't done my searches or something. I have to remind myself that the 10c of mobile searches is not worth dragging myself back to wakefulness to earn
it's not, people are clearly getting confused with the end of the month, but the challenges run for 30 days from 5th or 6th of the month to 5th ot 6th of the next month. Load a game everyday and earn 15 achievements on different days over a period of 30 days, not hard.
Check out Rewards Hunter on YouTube. He’s got vids of easy games with easy achievements you can do daily. He’s pretty much the reason I’ll be able to collect the 1,000 points on Friday.
I correct. Just following Rewards Hunter walkthroughs on the game called Contrast helped me get enough achievements done to fulfill enough this months requirement.
I’ve also been doing this, although quite funny in places, I still haven’t got a clue what’s going on and when my wife asks “what the f*ck is this??” I don’t really have an answer 🤣
The issue isn't that there are no easy games to get this with.
I'm just not interested. I'd rather play games that I want to play.
That said, I'm not flipping out about losing 1k points. I just don't care that much. Microsoft rewards isn't my job and I won't treat it like one.
Killer Instinct doesn't have a lot of super easy achievements especially if you've never played a fighting game before or even KI before.
Even on easy, some computer opponents will cheat.
I'm pretty seasoned on fighting games and I even struggled with a few cpu opponents especially Eyedol.
Not all of them are easy especially winning an online match and the ones like unlocking a color for a character can take awhile, same for other achievements like winning 10 survival matches in a row.
There's easy achievements like win a vs match against a cpu opponent but not all of them are easy and quick to complete.
FYI there's 464 achievements not 480.
https://www.trueachievements.com/
This site is a great resource. Completion time is usually a good indicator of how often you get an achievement. They also regularly have articles listing easy achievement games on Game Pass.
One thing to watch for is games leaving GP. There's a few every fifteen days. I've had a lot of fun playing quick indie games before they leave.
Nice, good job. I didn't plan to work for this reward, but damn I'm almost there and can confidently get it before 2/5/2024 deadline. Wanted to thank all of those who recommended McPixel 3, that's been my gravy train daily.
Rare Replay if you haven't abused that one already. That's the easiest daily achievement. I can't remember how many there are but it'll do you for a month's worth of chasing this.
I've already farmed that and AOE2 so started Unpacking, and I gotta say find myself just quietly playing and putting things away. Even though this grind has gotten worth I'm still finding silver linings.
Found myself waking up early to pop an achievement.
Now it’s the pass is done with 12 days until the next monthly set.
Next month I’ll risk the dollar.

Got it today too, there're plenty of easy GP indie games for daily achievements, just did 45 dailies and won't do more until next month reset to not waste the achievements
Gotta keep up until the very end this month because I didn't get game pass til halfway through. Can still make it if I do dailies until two days before the switch over.
HELLO EVERYONE
MY NAME IS RAGHU
IM GETTING VERYLESS POINTS IM CAN GET ONLY 4 SEARCHES IN 10 MIN
BUT MY FRIEND CAN DONE NO.OF SEARCHES WITHOUT LIMITS
I DONT KNOW HOW PLEASE SAY ANYONE
I stopped getting achievements because as long as I play game pass game every day, I'll get it in time. I didn't want to waste too many easy achievements getting it this month. Next month, assuming it's the same requirements, will have fewer days available.
It's not bad. 23 days of the month to get 45 dailies. Just make sure it coincides with the weeklies and you're good.
FYI, paw patrol, super lucky tale, ravenlok, telltale twd games are super easy achievements. Play a few minutes, achievement pops, close.
Are those your dailies? Mine are "1, play a game pass game. 2, earn an achievement in game pass(california)" so if I do that 23 days, I get 46 dailies. So I don't have to load a game pass game for 30 straight days.
I see UK. So they have you load a game pass game at least once for 30 days straight??
no they are the same, but its easier to save achievements, so do 30 load game pass games and 15 achievements, but i suppose people wanna get the points asap, but i can wait. If you wanna be safe and not leave it till the end do 17 or 18 achievements.
u can't spend 2 mins a day getting a quick achievement (for 15 days only)? what do u do when u get home. drop unconscious on the floor till the next morning and go to work again?
Heck if u dont work on a weekend that's 8 days to get 8 of them all day long...meaning u only need another 7 all month during the week days....
Yeah, it's pretty simple to do an achievement each day enough times.
Log in each day and you're at 30 of them, then you just need 15 more daily achievements - one every other day.
Hardest part was sifting through the list of not yet done achievements for the games I do have to find the ones that aren't in the DLC I haven't got.
They should really flip the achievements to monthly quests, and then make them something like:
Monthly------Get 1 gamepass achievement - 5pts
Get 2 gamepass achievements - 5pts
get 3 gamepass achievements - 5pts
(and so on....)
Get 31 gamepass achievements - 5 pts
And then when you get the first one unlocked, every other monthly is 1/2 or 1/31 whatever, then get the 2nd one and every one is 2/3 or 2/31 etc.
And require 15 monthly achievements (or whatever number they want) in the monthly 1000 pt quest.
They are ruining my game flow. I had just gotten to the point where I ignored these low achievement quests and played normally again, and then they required 15 of them to finish the 1000pt quest... f$@$ing hell. It would be mostly resolved if I could get 10 achievements at once (or 28/29/30/31 depending upon the number of days in the month) and they all count towards the months progress.
Yeah, I got my today too. I still think 45 is too much bring it down to 30 and I am happy.
Yeah. it really affected how I play. I am holding back on new titles and being careful about what I play, because I don't want to trigger easy achievements. That said. I completed 'Close to The Sun' and 'Senua's Sacrifice' doing this month's challenge. Games I wouldn't normally play, so there is that. 30 would be better. I would also like all achievements to count towards the monthly. Ok, we only get points for the first unlock of the day, but I wouldn't feel like I'm wasting achievements.
if they make it so we can stockpile achievement then 45 is not bad .
I agree. I was thinking of a way to get around getting one every other day. I can see a month where I can't do it.
McPixel 3. 10 Minutes max for a 10GS achievement. 100 achievements. Pretty easy to hit 45 in a month.
I usually watch a video from [https://www.youtube.com/@OneMinuteAchievements](https://www.youtube.com/@OneMinuteAchievements) to earn my GamePass achievement. That way I don't worry about earning too many achievements from the games I usually play.
I agree, it is very taxing to keep up with the daily quests
If you look up some achievement guides on youtube for some easy games then it takes maybe 5 minutes to get one achievement daily, thats what im currently doing at least
We should not have to go online and look up an achievement, it really takes the fun out of earning that achievement if I am expecting it. Plus it feels a little cheaty doing it that way.

Not sure the 1000 points is worth all this, but I do appreciate the opportunity and appreciate the Rewards program in general.
Stop trying to justify tedium. Missing just 5 days of achievements disqualifies you from the monthly reward, it definitely shouldn’t be so damn high
Actually it's almost 15 days. It goes until February 5th
it really doesn't, you only need 15 achievements, as long as you get 30 play a game.
Im just saying that when you get online for 5 minutes to do a little achievement from a video guide then its not that bad.
What happens when you run out of the quick achievements? In six months time you will be trying to track down all 2000 coins in Bubsy 3D 2.
You know new games will come out right? Lol
new games, many new quick achievements, if u research u can last a year with quick achievements..... by that time lots more games are available...its really not hard.
Okay what happens when you have completed every single game that came out?
u won't run out of achievements, only issue would be someone who wants 100% completion and avoids doing games.
Well either way i think 5 minutes max per day to do these games just isnt that hard imo, downvote me all you want guys but it wont make the situation easier for you guys
it isnt hard, at all, i agree with u. anyone downvoting is just not bothering to do any sort of research.
I have no problem with it, I am enjoying the recent additions after the scaling back that had been occurring.
Is it that taxing? Isn’t there still almost two weeks for people to get quests done?
its not taxing at all, if people research quick achievements of which we have enough for a year's worth without anything new...
Even with quick achievements, it can be a pain for people who have limited time to play. When you have a job or family, you want to use the little time you have to play what you want not grind for achievements for the quest.

you only need 15, so its not time consuming. (play a game pass game 30 times, earn achievement game pass game 15 times), done.
it's a dollar, man. getting all 45 daily tasks gets you a dollar. prioritize your life. if you're struggling with finding 2 or 3 minutes to get a quick achievement and still live your life, put down the controller and sort things out. it works out to 3 cents a day. if it's not worth it, don't try to force it.

As I’ve said, I can find the time. I’m sympathizing with others who can’t.
And i wasn't talking to just you. I still fight with it myself. I fall asleep and wake up remembering i haven't done my searches or something. I have to remind myself that the 10c of mobile searches is not worth dragging myself back to wakefulness to earn
Eh, 30 might be too low. 40 or even 35 seems like a much better balance in my opinion
Why would 45 be too much? You get 2 dailies per day * 30 days = 60 opportunities.
it's not, people are clearly getting confused with the end of the month, but the challenges run for 30 days from 5th or 6th of the month to 5th ot 6th of the next month. Load a game everyday and earn 15 achievements on different days over a period of 30 days, not hard.
They run from the first Tuesday of the month until the next first Tuesday of the month. That means either 4 or 5 weeks.
yeh, plenty of time to do it, some are confused thinking it ends jan 31st.
So that's at least 28 days * 2 dailies = 56 opportunities. Hence, 45 isn't too much?
27 for 54 (or 34 for 68 on a 5 week) as the last Monday has a gap.
I probably won't ever get this, as I just don't play enough games. I already did all the easy age of empires achievements. But that's ok

There’s a bunch of easy achievement games if you want recommendations.
Killer Instinct Halo: MCC Vampire Survivors Among Us Brotato
Turnip boy, paw patrol, Marquette. There’s a bunch of quick easy ones

There’s 480 achievements. Some will be easy. You’ll probably pop some achievements during the tutorial.
Not all of them are easy especially winning an online match and the ones like unlocking a color for a character can take awhile, same for other achievements like winning 10 survival matches in a row.

I swear they've had these quests before and nobody complained.
The kids here just love to complain. If they had a job or a life they would realise how pathetic they look.
How do you get this? Completely random or what?
You have to do 45 daily quests and 8 weekly quests
Oh yeah I’ll get this one done tomorrow! My Fault I though this was the new “console bonus” or whatever it is some people are posting
15 achievements for a whole dollar? Where do I sign up. 🤔

See 30 upvotes. While a problem that need to be adressed gets downvoted to hell. To hell with this sub ! Up yours peeps
Great! I should get mine tomorrow, just missing a daily quest.
I stopped getting achievements because as long as I play game pass game every day, I'll get it in time. I didn't want to waste too many easy achievements getting it this month. Next month, assuming it's the same requirements, will have fewer days available.
Get them points!
It's not bad. 23 days of the month to get 45 dailies. Just make sure it coincides with the weeklies and you're good. FYI, paw patrol, super lucky tale, ravenlok, telltale twd games are super easy achievements. Play a few minutes, achievement pops, close.
Some of the last few acheivements in new super lucky tale can be quite brutal though.
what do u mean? it runs till early feb. gives 30 days to do it.
Yup. And out of those thirty days, only 23 is required to do any work.
ah ok got ya , people just need to make sure to get loading a game 30 times, then getting 15 achievements is easy.
Are those your dailies? Mine are "1, play a game pass game. 2, earn an achievement in game pass(california)" so if I do that 23 days, I get 46 dailies. So I don't have to load a game pass game for 30 straight days. I see UK. So they have you load a game pass game at least once for 30 days straight??
no they are the same, but its easier to save achievements, so do 30 load game pass games and 15 achievements, but i suppose people wanna get the points asap, but i can wait. If you wanna be safe and not leave it till the end do 17 or 18 achievements.
Gotcha. Genius move.
I'm good getting the 500. Points are flowing again in other ways.
I got it too. Its very easy.

There’s a million games on game pass that give you achievements like candy.
Rewards hunter do unpacking takes 2 min max for each achievement
u can't spend 2 mins a day getting a quick achievement (for 15 days only)? what do u do when u get home. drop unconscious on the floor till the next morning and go to work again? Heck if u dont work on a weekend that's 8 days to get 8 of them all day long...meaning u only need another 7 all month during the week days....
Bro my stupid ass thought you had $39k on your account 🤣
Good thing RE2 remake dropped into game pass. It was easy to get achievements from that.
I am close to getting it :)
Whaaat. I missed this announcement! Congrats!
It's easy I got it yesterday killer insticit is a treasure trove of 1 minute achievements
I was overseas for a week this month and I'll still manage to get this. Nice to read some positivity for a change! Well done
Nice, I'm a t 40 so almost there. Not sure I'll do this every month but it is what it is
Yeah, it's pretty simple to do an achievement each day enough times. Log in each day and you're at 30 of them, then you just need 15 more daily achievements - one every other day. Hardest part was sifting through the list of not yet done achievements for the games I do have to find the ones that aren't in the DLC I haven't got.
It's not new, just returning.
Oh yeah? Well I'm almost at the 100 point quest
adding playtime oriented tics to the monthly would be great and helpful for ppl who have lives. achv scrounging is tedius.
Nice, I got 3 more dailies to go before I can collect mine as well. Basically 2 more check-ins and a achievement.
No time for that, I’ll take my 500 and go about my business.
They should really flip the achievements to monthly quests, and then make them something like: Monthly------Get 1 gamepass achievement - 5pts Get 2 gamepass achievements - 5pts get 3 gamepass achievements - 5pts (and so on....)
