Now 10,000 Rewards points are worth almost $ 10 if you’re using the automatic redemption feature to redeem an Xbox gift card, so naturally, you won’t want to spend a lot of money (or time, because time is money) trying to complete this challenge. In this summary, we try to detail the best way to unlock 10,000 Gamerscore without spending any of your hard-earned money. Your mileage will, of course, vary with some of the examples we provide.
Xbox Game Pass
If you are an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, this is the best place to start looking for 10,000 G. There are several quick findings in the Xbox Game Pass library that will give you 1,000Gs each.
You can check the full list of games included in the Xbox Game Pass for the console library here.
The Games With Gold backlog
If you are claiming the free games with gold on offer each month, you may have some easy conclusions that you have already forgotten. Be sure to check out our full list of Xbox games with gold games to see if you have any great games that could be used to reach the 10,000 GB goal. According to the challenge requirements, achievements unlocked in Xbox 360 games do not count towards the challenge, so just keep that in mind.
Fast and easy conclusions, like Batman: The Enemy Within – The Telltale Series, Gone Home: Console Edition, #IDARB, We Were Here and many, many others were Games with Gold at one point or another.
Free Xbox Games
When it comes to free games, you will be somewhat limited. Most free games are huge grind fests that take dozens or even hundreds of hours to complete. However, Rec Room, a free “social app”, offers a chunky 700 Gamerscore that can be unlocked in less than 10 minutes. The remaining 300 Gamerscore is a massive grind, so keep that in mind if you want the full 1000G.
A free game that offers a complete and easily completed 1000G is Korgan, which, according to estimates, takes between one and two hours to complete. Be sure to follow our Korgan walkthrough that details how to unlock all of the dungeon tracker achievements.

Xitilon
In recent months, Xitilon has become a well-known name in achievement hunting circles, thanks to some of its games receiving effortless title updates worth 1,000G each. In our recent interview with the publisher, Xitilon revealed that at least nine more of its games would receive updates for similar titles over the course of January. Overnight, Bullet Beat received its second title update, which means that the shoot-’em-up is now worth a total of 3,000G. If you have already purchased any of the Xitilon games, it may be worth revisiting to see if the games you own have had another title update. Also, stay tuned for more title updates to be released this month. If you still don’t use it, TA has a great feature that will notify you every time a new DLC appears for your games. Go to the Settings tab in the Player menu and then to Site settings. From there, scroll down to the DLC section and toggle the “PM me when a new DLC appears for games owned by me” to receive notification as soon as we get a new list of DLC achievements.
