With most triple-A games reaching $70 price tags more often than not, gaming is becoming an expensive hobby.
With most triple-A games reaching $70 price tags more often than not, gaming is becoming an expensive hobby. I know how it stings to open your wallet and spend your hard-earned money on a new game when you don't even know if you're gonna like it or not yet. But what if you didn't need to pay full price? Or maybe you don't need to pay anything at all.
Xbox and PS5 games don't come down in price quickly, so you're likely to have to wait several months, or even a whole year, if you want a decent price. However, if you enjoy playing games on your phone too, you can actually use it to pay for console games, thanks to an app called Scrambly.
It sounds too good to be true, but trust me, it's legit. Buying the new Call of Duty and getting a shiny new FPS game for free sounds like a scam, but it's not. Scrambly rewards you for playing mobile games, offering Amazon, Xbox, and Nintendo gift cards or even just putting the money into your bank – and they're not just random games you've never heard of, but likely ones you already have installed.
After spending years finding similar apps to Scrambly and often coming away disappointed and deleting them after mere hours, Scrambly is different. Maybe you're regularly getting big wins on Coin Master, or you're creating a super team in RAID: Shadow Legends – not only is Scrambly's rewards generous, but the game library is actually full of interesting titles, something that I can't say I've seen on other apps like this, including the likes of:
So, what's the catch? Well, game developers and publishers want players playing their games, and they're hoping through Scrambly that you'll watch the occasional ad for rewards or make some in-app purchases. However, if you do neither, you'll still get plenty of Scrambly Coins just for completing simple in-game milestones. It's a win-win situation.
After earning plenty of Scrambly coins for playing RPGs or trying out the countless merging puzzle games, you can then exchange them for real rewards. You can either transfer them as cash to your bank, turn them into Xbox or Nintendo gift cards, or convert them into Amazon gift cards to buy PS5 games or perhaps accessories, like controllers or headsets. Here are the payouts you can use:
If I'm not playing on my console, I'm typically playing games on my mobile phone, and Scrambly has given me a way to not only enjoy trying out new titles but also get rewarded for doing so. If you're hoping to fund your expensive hobby with new video games, Scrambly is definitely the way to do it.
