After two devastating hurricanes recently devastated parts of Florida and surrounding states, many people may be wondering what they can do to help. The American Red Cross is one of the organizations that helps provide relief to people affected by natural disasters, and you can help these efforts by playing games on Xbox.
Xbox users can convert their Microsoft Rewards points into donations to the American Red Cross in response to the recent hurricanes Milton and Helen. Microsoft has previously hosted similar donation drives with the American Red Cross, including in 2020 to raise funds and awareness for COVID-19 relief.
To donate to the American Red Cross through Xbox, you need to be a Microsoft Rewards member (sign up on Xbox or sign up online on the Microsoft Rewards website). You can earn Microsoft Rewards by playing games, completing Game Pass quests, renting/purchasing movies, and purchasing Xbox games.
Hurricane Milton made landfall on October 10, wreaking havoc on coastal communities and leaving more than 3 million people without power. Milton’s impact was particularly devastating to the local community, in part because it occurred just two weeks after Hurricane Helene.
If you’re looking for a new game to play on Xbox right now, Xbox Game Pass recently added the deck-building card game Inscryption, which GameSpot praised when it launched in 2021.
