Gold Dust

YEEHAW! Stake your claim by playing a featured Games with Gold title for at least 10 hours during the featured period for 3 months in a row.

So I think I understand the "featured" aspect, like so 360 games are only "featured" for like 15 days, and Xbox one games are featured for 30 days, right? My other issue is does the 10 hrs have to be in one game? Or like the first half of January for instance
can I play 3 hours of "back to future" 3 hours of tomb raider and 4 hours of "van Hellsing"? This is a 3 month in a row challenge, so there needs to be better clarification on this. Also if in that games hub under stats hours played, is that correct?

:)

Hello Wise Owl 2000,

You only had roughly five hours of playtime for the title "ZOMBI" in January. The other seven hours were in the month of February. You did not play Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India at all in the month of February; all your playtime was in March. Therefore,
you have not had a consecutive three months of at least 10 hours of featured Games with Gold play time, since you only had five hours in January and zero in February.

Hello Martis007,

Your play time can be across multiple titles. You do not have to have 10 hours from only a single game.

Hello SSGojeta,

Yes, a game is "featured" during the date range specified on the Games with Gold page (https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/games-with-gold), so for example ZOMBI would be within the "featured" period
between 1/16 and 2/15 (30 days, as you mentioned). The 10 hours of playtime can be from any combination of these featured titles during the month, so for example you could play 5 hours of Tomb Raider and 5 hours of ZOMBI later this month. Regarding your FREEdom
question, it can take us up to 96 hours to receive and process new activity, so if you only recently played your title, it would still be too early to see that progress.
