Microsoft has announced that you can now gift games digitally to your friends on Xbox One. Now you don’t have to go to a store to buy gifts for loved ones.
Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hyrb announced: “Gifting is here ! Gift select Xbox One games & downloadable game content +Xbox Live Gold & Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, right from the Microsoft Store on your Xbox console, on Windows, or online”
You cannot gift games for free though as you still have to pay the value seen on the Microsoft Store. Still, it saves you time being able to gift things without leaving your house.
The gift tab should be visible when you visit a game’s listing on the Microsoft Store. After that, you choose which friend you want to gift a game to.
