Last year, XBox enabled the gifting of XBox One games, DLCs, and Game Pass subscriptions. This has helped parents everywhere fuel their kids' want for more and more video games. As of May 11th, all XBox platforms are now being able to gift PC games and PC DLCs.

Here’s how to start sending digital gifts in the Microsoft Store:

  • Head over to the Microsoft Store on Windows 10, on the Xbox One family of devices, or online, navigate to the product that you would like to purchase, select Buy as Gift, and enter the email address of the gift recipient. On Xbox One, you can choose a Gamertag from your list of Xbox Live friends.
  • The gift recipient will receive a code for their product along with instructions on how to redeem the code. On Xbox One, gift recipients will receive a system message with a clickable redemption button.

A few things in keep in mind as you’re 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.

It is a great new way to enjoy many of the PC games available for those whose PCs are somewhat defunct.. like mine.
