Xbox One game gifting could come after launch, suggests Nelson

4.5
Xbox One could allow gamers to gift digital games to their friend after launch, Microsoft community man Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hyrb has suggested.

It comes as a Reddit member openly asked the Xbox One fan-base if such a feature would be available at launch.

Hyrb replied to the user by saying, “Great feature we’d like to add in someday, but it won’t be there at launch.”

Ive spent over $300 giving gifts to other people from Steam in the 5 months Ive been on there. Both consoles should be able to do this, its extra money for both MS, Sony & developers.

1. Add gifting

2. Add a stat checker of sorts, so friends can try to outgive each other

3. Profit

Everyone saying "it will be like steam". The xbox one had this, it was one of the features lost when the removed the DRM. Except now being every game, it's only downloaded games. If anything it's a downgrade of what it once had.

NDSU Why would you want to send someone a game lmfao?


If you want to play the game with them
If you want to send them a gift for an event such as their birthday or Christmas
As a trade for some other game (Possibly)

There are bound to be more reasons but those are what i can come up with off the top of my head

Brad- I can already see so many glitches coming from this


I could see people getting banned for exploiting those glitches though. As it would essentially be marketplace theft or something a long those lines
