HitPoints is the new online rewards program for IGN/GameSpy subscribers and it's the only program that rewards gamers like you. These points can be redeemed to download full PC games or Prima game guides for FREE!

The HitPoints program has been discontinued. If you have HitPoints you can still redeem them for as long as they are active.

To redeem your HitPoints, just select the game you wish to download, add it to your shopping cart and "pay" it with your HitPoints. It's that easy!

You can redeem HitPoints as long as you have an active subscription and the HitPoints have not expired. HitPoints will be posted to your account once the transaction is completed.

It all depends on how your spend your HitPoints. Different games have different HitPoints value.

Not at this moment but we'll continue to expand our offerings. You will be able to redeem your HitPoints for other merchandise in the near future.

While you can download a game as many times as you want, you are only granted two licenses to the game. These licenses are granted in succession, one after the other and you cannot hold the licenses at the same time. The license is valid for one use, on one computer and cannot be shared on another computer. Sharing the license will deactivate it. If you use both licenses due to format or sharing, your ability to use the game will end.

Your license can be invalidated in several ways. For each game, you can receive two licenses in succession. Once these licenses are used, your ability to use the game will end. A license can be invalidated by:

• Formatting your hard drive or reinstalling Windows
• The use of routers, firewalls, ad blockers, pop-up stoppers that block the Trymedia activation process

You can download a game as many times as you want, but only one license will be granted and validated at one time on one computer. When you redeem HitPoints for a game, it includes two licenses to be held in succession. The second license replaces the first should your first license become invalidated.
