Digital games have their benefits, but they can make the holiday season a bit of a headache. What do you give the player who’s shunned discs, cartridges, and plastic boxes in favor of downloading everything? You could buy them an Xbox or PlayStation Store gift card, but that doesn’t show a lot of thought. What if you want to give somebody a specific digital game? You’ve been able to do that on Steam for a while, but it hasn’t been an option on consoles.

That’s about to change for Xbox One owners. Earlier this year, Microsoft promised digital game gifting was coming to Xbox One, although we haven’t heard a lot about the feature since. Well, Microsoft has yet to make an official announcement, but it seems they’ve slipped game gifting into the latest Xbox Insider Program update. Windows Central has tested the new feature and reports it’s working smoothly.
