Prefer to play on PC? Now Microsoft also allows you to buy and give away games for this platform
One of the options offered by the Microsoft Store in regards to the Xbox One and its games is the one that allows you to gift them to another person. We buy them but we can choose the person who will benefit from the title in question. An option that was available for console titles but not for PC titles
And in these times, where the PC market enjoys iron he alth, this limitation seemed incomprehensible and that is why Microsoft has chosen to end it.Thus the Redmond-based company has announced that extend the option to give away digital games to the PC platform
At Microsoft they have seen that it can be a good way to promote digital purchases and not depend so much on the physical format. In fact they have developed the process to carry out the purchase:
- Access the Microsoft Store, something we can do from Windows 10, from an Xbox One console or through the web .
- We search and select the title we want to buy.
-
"
- We use the option Buy as a gift and write the email address of the gift recipient."
-
The difference is that on Xbox One the process is facilitated by allowing the use of a Gamertag from the Xbox Live friends list .
-
Gift recipient will receive a code for their product along with instructions on how to redeem the code and if redeemed with Xbox One, recipients will receive a system message with a redeemable button.
The whole process is very simple, there is no doubt, but to avoid misunderstandings, Microsoft also gives a series of factors and limitations that we must take into account :
- You can only gift discounted titles with a maximum of 2 discounted titles or a total of 10 every 14 days. No limits on regular price gift purchases.
- No gifting of original Xbox 360 and Xbox games is allowed.
- or enter this option for reservations, free products and downloadable game content as virtual currency.
- Gift recipients can only redeem gift codes in the country/region where they were purchased so you can't gift to anyone from another country .
- From today this option is available for all PC games
