All Xbox One users can now gift games to others

15 Nov 2017

All Xbox One users can now gift games to others, Microsoft today has confirmed.

Available to Insider users since October, the ability to purchases games as gifts is now available on the Microsoft Store and its associated web equivalent. The gift option is right beside the ‘Buy’ button in all cases.

Gifting a game will generate a game code that will then need to be redeemed by the person you choose to gift it to. I don’t have Need for Speed: Payback yet, if anyone’s keen to try out the feature.

Are you planning on using the gift functionality over this holiday season?

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.
