This promotion, titled the 25 Years of Xbox Bundle, includes a whopping 25 digital Xbox games with a combined value of over $500. To claim the games, which are permanently licensed to your Microsoft account, you must activate the eligible device in the U.S. from November 2 to December 31 and claim them in the Microsoft Store app by February 12, 2027. The bundle covers a wide range of games, from classics like Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Wolfenstein: The New Order to modern hits such as Minecraft Dungeons and Gears of War: Reloaded. Notably, 16 of these games are supported by Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing you to play them on both your PC and console. However, there are some restrictions: Windows 11 Pro PCs and certain refurbished or open-box devices do not qualify. Once claimed, you can install the games on a more powerful machine later if needed.",
