Microsoft is now giving away free gift cards forthose who have playedTom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siegein the past year. Not everyRainbow Six Siegeplayer will be receiving one, however, as these cards are being given out at random, and the amount of each gift card appears to be $5.00.

There have also been reports of something similar happening forApex Legendsplayers as well. Instead of a free gift card, it appears that some lucky players are receiving a free Battle Pass for the game. With the battle royal genre being dominated byFortnite, these free Battle Passes may be Respawn Entertainment’s way of getting more players back inApex Legendsfor its 17th season. These free battle passes are also being given out at random. Players of bothTom Clancy’s Rainbow Six SiegeandApex Legendsshould check their inboxes and see if they are one of the lucky people chosen for a free gift.

In a world full of scams and frauds, it’s always important for players to confirm that a free gift is the real deal. The general rule for players to tell if afree Xbox gift card is real or notis to avoid any message that’s missing a redemption code. An email or text message that suggests the player to click a link should be avoided at all costs. Clicking on a link from a scammer may download malicious malware to the player’s phone or computer, and that’s not worth the risk.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siegeis available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
