Xbox users may finally be able to fund their purchases with gift cards and credit cards instead of Points.
“Sources familiar with Microsoft’s
Xbox plans” told blog site The Verge that Microsoft will replace its Xbox Points system with a gift card system. The cards will let Xbox owners buy actual currency to purchase and download games and other content. Further, users will be able to use credit and debit cards to buy Xbox items online.
The gift cards would also work in the Windows Store and the Windows Phone Store, The Verge added. Microsoft could announce the new system during the E3 event starting June 11 and roll it out later this year when the next Xbox debuts.
Last year, Microsoft switched from Points to credit cards as the default for purchases through the Windows 8 Xbox Music and Xbox Video apps.
CNET contacted Microsoft for comment and will update the story with further information.
