PC Game Pass has signed up with BWT Alpine F1 Team for one incredible challenge this weekend at the 2022 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix (6 – 8 May); a challenge only the fastest fans will be able to accomplish.
All week long, BWT Alpine F1 Team’s Twitter and Instagram channels will show fans what to expect with the Fast Track to PC Game Pass Challenge ahead of the inaugural Grand Prix in Miami. Numerous QR codes will be placed on the surface of both A522 cars, all waiting to be scanned by fans’ mobile devices for a chance at 1-month, 3-months or 6-months of PC Game Pass.
On Friday 6 May, the challenge begins when the A522 hits the track for practice for the very first time in Miami, with 1-month of PC Game Pass available to win. Alongside this, Xbox and PC Game Pass will be taking over BWT Alpine F1 Team’s Instagram channel, with special guest Sonja (@omgitsfirefoxx) posting live from the team’s garage in Miami.
Catching one of the codes is no easy feat and will be the test of a true pro. If fans want to risk chances at a bigger prize, they must wait until Saturday’s Qualifying session and scan the QR codes to unlock 3-months of PC Game Pass. Then on Sunday, it’s 6-months of PC Game Pass. All motorsports’ fans, whether tuning-in on TV or in-person, will need lightning-fast reflexes and a locked-in “catch it if you can” mindset while the A522 cars flash by. QR codes will unlock PC Game Pass for new subscribers only and they may redeem only one code.
Trackside fans can try to grab a custom PC Game Pass x BWT Alpine F1 Team Kappa t-shirt with a retro design inspired by the undeniable energy and liveliness of Miami.
