PC digital game gifting now available in the Microsoft Store

PC digital game gifting is now available in the Microsoft Store, Microsoft today confirmed.

“Today, we’re excited to announce that we have expanded digital gifting to include PC games and PC downloadable game content (e.g. map packs, skins). Further, all Xbox One games are now eligible for digital gifting,” Microsoft’s John Smith confirmed on Xbox Wire.

Like a similar initiative with Xbox One games, users will now have the option to “Buy as gift” rather than purchasing a digital license for themselves. You can see the “Buy as gift” button in the image above.

Are you planning on buying gifts for others… or hoping someone will buy you gifts instead? You can find out how the entire process works here.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
