A new collaboration between Microsoft and WEBTOON offers players an attractive opportunity: a free month of Xbox Game Pass Premium subscription, without a credit card. Simply read a mini-series of comics online to take advantage of this limited-time promotion.
Available until February 13, this offer is already attracting many Xbox users. Simple to activate, it only takes a few minutes and allows you to discover games from the Game Pass Premium catalog, as well as some exclusive bonuses for subscribers.
An operation between Microsoft and WEBTOON around Sea of Thieves
The free offer is part of a joint campaign between Microsoft and the WEBTOON platform, to mark the launch of the comic strip Sea of Thieves: The Last Bite. This five-episode mini-series is inspired by the world of video games Sea of Thievesdeveloped by Rare.
Written by Chris Allcock and illustrated by Rhoald Marcellius, the series features, according to its description, “a whole new crew, a sinking ship, and one final mystery that could tear them apart.” Each episode is available for free on WEBTOON.
Reading all five chapters via a free account is enough to trigger the automatic sending of an Xbox Game Pass Premium code by email. Please note: the offer ends on February 13, 2026.
How to receive and activate your Xbox Game Pass code
To receive the free code, here are the steps to follow:
- Create a free account on WEBTOON.
- Read all five episodes of The Last Bite.
- Wait for the confirmation email containing the Game Pass code.
- Use this code within 30 days of receipt (deadline: March 15).
Codes are sent by email with an activation link. They are case sensitive and single use. Some users report a delay of a few days between reading completely and receiving the code.
On Reddit, user Impressive_Pop_2702 shared his experience: “The WEBTOON Game Pass code arrived. I was starting to lose hope of receiving it, but after three and a half days, it arrived in my mailbox, in the Promotions tab. I used the code and everything went great!”
Bonuses for current subscribers and Sea of Thieves fans
Players already subscribed are not forgotten. They can benefit from a free month of WEBTOON Premium. Another bonus: an exclusive in-game emote Sea of Thievesfor a limited time, is also included for those who have activated the offer.
The Game Pass Premium subscription gives access to a wide selection of games, although this tier does not offer new releases as soon as they are released. However, two highly anticipated titles are arriving this month: Kingdom Come: Deliverance from February 13 and Avowed on February 17.
Microsoft seems to have found a winning formula for attracting new players while promoting its cultural partners. A well-oiled marketing operation, to be activated quickly.
