The card you use to buy your favourite games could soon be granting you your next favourite title at no extra cost. Billed as 'the debit card for gamers', Mana - which launches this summer - lets you earn extra points on purchases of certain gaming products, and even more points on select subscriptions like Xbox Game Pass or Nintendo Switch Online.
While you'll earn those extra points on the standard Mana card, you can also sign up for a Mana Pro subscription. The premium card, which is currently discounted to just $69.95 a year, offers even greater rewards, as well as free annual subscriptions to Discord Nitro, FitGMR Pro, Surfshark VPN, and FirstBlood Premium, for a total value of more than $250.
In addition to all of those benefits, however, Mana Pro also offers subscribers two one-off $25 gift cards - one for Xbox and one for PlayStation. That means that you can turn your debit card subscription into free games, and with that in mind, we've put together a list of some of the best titles available for under $25 that you can pick up at no extra cost, all thanks to Mana Pro.
