Payment platform Rixty teams with Microsoft to give gamers more ways to get Xbox Live gift cards

Now that Microsoft is no longer using its proprietary Points currency for purchases on its Xbox Live platform, it can start offering different ways for players to get gift cards and monthly subscriptions.

Alternative-payment platform Rixty revealed today that it is partnering with Microsoft to provide Xbox Live gift cards and Gold memberships. The company already signed deals with gift card distributors Coinstar and Great Lakes Scrip Center.
