Microsoft has finally confirmed that game gifting is coming to the Xbox One today, but only for Xbox Insiders in the Alpha ring, thus far. It didn't elaborate if other rings will get the new feature.
After numerous requests for the feature, Microsoft has finally made game gifting via Xbox Live available. However, the feature is currently being tested and only available to Alpha ring Insiders.
