Microsoft has announced that the Xbox Mastercard will be available exclusively to Xbox Insiders in the United States beginning September 21, with availability to all Xbox players in the United States coming in 2024. The new credit card, which is issued by Barclays and features no annual fee, allows cardmembers to earn card points with everyday purchases and redeem them on games and add-ons at xbox.com. Some of the benefits of the Xbox Mastercard include the choice of five iconic designs, as well as three free months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for new Game Pass members after the first purchase.

We know players are interested in getting more value from Xbox, and we’ve heard feedback from the community that they want more ways to get value from their purchases. Today, I’m excited to share that we are introducing the no annual fee Xbox Mastercard in partnership with Barclays US Consumer Bank, a leading cobranded credit card issuer in the United States. With the Xbox Mastercard credit card, players can earn card points with everyday purchases to redeem on games and add-ons at xbox.com.
