A feature Xbox One gamers have been requesting for a while has been the ability to give digital video games to friends. There has been the occasional talk from Microsoft confirming that it was something that they were considering but today on Twitter, the company’s Mike Ybarra stated in a reply to another user that this feature would indeed be coming soon.

Not far!

It’s unclear at this point if the gifting being discussed is the ability to buy a game for another user or transfer ownership to them, it could even be both. Either way, it’s still welcome news for many Xbox One owners who had been wanting to share titles with those close to them.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
