Microsoft has surprised some Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X owners with free games, occasionally offering titles worth over $100. These giveaways are seemingly random, delighting players who stumble upon them. A recent Reddit post highlighted one such generous offer: Destiny 2: The Light & Darkness Collection, typically priced at $149.99 on the Microsoft Store, given away entirely for free.
This “Just For You” deal, as it’s called, isn’t a widespread promotion. While one lucky user received Destiny 2: The Light & Darkness Collection, others reported receiving nothing, or different personalized offers. Some received other free games, while others were presented with substantial discounts on various titles.
The Reddit post showcasing the free Destiny 2 collection quickly garnered attention, with comments ranging from excitement (“Damn that is an awesome deal”) to mild disappointment (“I checked mine a few hours ago and they just offered me Party Animals for $10”). Another commenter emphasized the incredible value: “That is insane, £120ish down to nothing is a crazy deal.”
Several users pointed out a quirk with these personalized offers: they sometimes feature games the user already owns. This suggests the automated system behind the “Just For You” deals isn’t flawless. Despite its imperfections, the potential to snag a free game, especially one as substantial as Destiny 2: The Light & Darkness Collection, encourages Xbox users to check for these rotating deals regularly.
To find these deals, navigate to the Microsoft Store app on your Xbox console and select the “Deals” button. Scroll down to the “Special Offers” section, where the personalized “Just For You” deals, if any, will appear.
For those hoping to take advantage of these unpredictable offers, vigilance is key. Regularly checking the “Special Offers” section in the Microsoft Store app could lead to a pleasant surprise, potentially adding a new title to your game library without spending a dime.
