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.

• Gift purchasers can only buy two discounted products – and a total of 10 discounted products – every 14 days. There are no limits for gift purchases made at full price.
• Gifting of Xbox 360 and Xbox original games, pre-orders, free products, and consumable downloadable game content such as virtual currency is not allowed.
• Gift recipients can only redeem gift tokens in the country or region where they were purchased.

Many PC games are available for gifting today, May 10, and all games should be available for gifting by Friday, May 11. We are hard at work on improving digital gifting, adding new capabilities as well as support for new content types. We look forward to bringing you updates on the gifting of paid PC and Xbox apps soon.

If anyone wants to test this feature out I'll gladly be a guinea pig. I'm a team player.

This is a cool feature, I've wanted to give friends birthday / holiday / I need someone to coop with me so I'll look for any excuse type presents in the past. Nice to be able to do it now.

I can’t believe it took them this long to implement. They had it for 360 as well as a recommendation option to friends. You’d think they’d had seen the future where digital is becoming the norm that they’d include it from the get-go.

Now if only they’d bring back the party feature to watch Netflix or other streaming apps with friends, I thought that was neat.
