Thanks to the internet, you never need to worry about being able to find a copy of a popular video game as a holiday gift. Scarcity is no longer a problem because you can just download every game on every modern platform. This week, Microsoft announced a new Xbox feature that will make digital gift-giving even easier.

In a tweet Monday, Xbox corporate vice president Mike Ybarra announced that the Xbox digital gift program will expand to all Xbox users. Previously, the program (which launched in October) was only available to Xbox Insider members. For reference, Xbox Insider is a free program that allows Xbox owners to offer feedback on work-in-progress content.

In case you are not familiar with the concept of digital game gifting, you are essentially spending your own money to buy a download code for someone else. The feature has been available on the PC game marketplace Steam for some time. Per Forbes, Overwatch and World of Warcraft developer Blizzard Entertainment also introduced the feature to its Battle.net service recently.

How To Digitally Gift Xbox One Games

Just find a game in the Xbox Live store, select “Buy as gift” and send it to anyone on your friends list or whose email address you have handy. That person will then get a notification that the digital version of the game in question is available to them, and that you sent it to them. That is sure to be a nice holiday or birthday surprise for anyone going forward.

There is good news and bad news in terms of what can be bought and gifted on Xbox Live. The good news is paid downloadable content can be gifted using this service, so if you want to force your friends to play the Destiny 2 expansion with you when it launches in December, you can use your disposable income to give it to them. Keep in mind that you can only send actual expansion content, not paid loot boxes or microtransaction currency.

The bad news you cannot gift Xbox Play Anywhere titles using this program, per Forbes. Xbox Play Anywhere is the initiative that allows you to own the same game on Xbox One and PC and transfer your save files between the two without buying the game twice. Unfortunately, just about every big Xbox One exclusive like Forza Motorsport 7 and Cuphead is a Play Anywhere title. Play Anywhere is a convenient feature in every sense, but not for digital gift giving.

The same goes for backwards-compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox games. As much as you might want to send someone classic games like Burnout Paradise and Crimson Skies, Microsoft will not let you. The last big restriction is you cannot gift a pre-order to someone; the game has to actually be out.

It seems fair to expect PlayStation and maybe even Nintendo to introduce such a popular, common-sense feature in the next couple of years, now that Xbox jumped on the bandwagon. As digital game purchasing continues to become the preferred method over retail, it will only make sense to facilitate gift giving going forward.
