Here are some examples of what we’ve been coming across online so far:<\/p>\n
My Birthday Was In February But For Some Reason Got Points For It.<\/a> My birthday is in September, but sure I will accept this birthday gift today! Thanks Microsoft Rewards! pic.twitter.com\/hNfGe96DMs<\/a>\u2014 Mike Zero (@iMikeZero) April 27, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Apparently I got my birthday gift points months after my most recent birthday<\/a> Comment<\/a> Comment<\/a> Comment<\/a> Comment<\/a> Comment<\/a> As you can see, there’s a lot of confusion here about why Xbox users are getting birthday gifts even though their birthdays were ages ago, but we assume it’s because they’re being backdated based on purchases at the time.<\/p>\n In other words, if you bought anything on the Xbox \/ Microsoft Store during your birthday week over the past 12 months, you might have a gift waiting for you! It’s worth checking, anyway \u2014 go to the Xbox Rewards Hub<\/a> on your console (by pressing the Xbox guide button, scrolling right to your profile icon, selecting your profile and then choosing “My Rewards”), see if there are any points waiting to be redeemed, and check if they’re classed as a “birthday gift”.<\/p>\n We’re interested to hear if you’ve received anything, as it seems to be quite a mixed bag out there. Was it intentional to give players their birthday gift way after the fact? Who knows… but it’s clearly happening in some cases.<\/p>\n Fraser is the News Editor at Pure Xbox, where he spends his time reporting on the biggest stories in the world of Xbox and beyond.<\/p>\n
