While we recently saw the Lustrous Legend Eye of Reach appear as a Game Pass Perk, this new flag requires players to engage with a specific Microsoft Rewards Punch Card. It is a smart move for collectors who want to complete the full "Lustrous" set, adding a bit of shimmer to the ship's mast that signifies you were part of this specific milestone in the game's history.
Beyond the cosmetic appeal, completing this punch card serves a dual purpose. Doing so grants players bonus entries into the Microsoft Rewards Total Prize Drop, a massive sweepstakes featuring a $1,000,000 grand prize. It is rare to see in-game pirate loot tied to such a significant real-world incentive, making this more than just a standard cosmetic hunt.
For those looking to maximize their rewards during the anniversary window, remember that this is a separate track from the login rewards like the Golden Sailor Figurehead. To secure the flag, you will need to head to the Microsoft Rewards app on your console or the web dashboard to activate and complete the required tasks before the offer expires. As with most anniversary items, once this window closes, the Lustrous Legend Flag will likely disappear into the hold of time-limited exclusives.
