Microsoft Talks Game Gifting and Settles Fans' Burning Questions
Xbox, after years of players asking for it, has finally pushed their new game gifting feature and [...]
Do the games expire? Can you regift?
Though the feature is only currently available for Alpha ring members of the Preview Program, it's still making its way to everyone's consoles soon. It's simply in testing phase right now to get feedback from users and make it even better. One of the prevelent questions was about if you gift a game to someone who already has it, what comes next?

Another question Ybarra took on was about game tokens ... do they expire? Is there a time limit that must be adhered to?

Xbox One X
With the Xbox One X rolling out in time for the holidays, it wouldn't be a far fetch to think that the gifting feature would be ready for the masses around the same time, notably before the beginning of December. There hasn't been any official confirmation from Team Xbox yet for an official window of the Game Gifting feature launching, but if it's on par with previous testing schedules - it shouldn't be too much longer.
Until then, Microsoft fans can look forward to the "most powerful console" ever to launch here soon - Be ready to "feel true power" on November 7th when the Xbox One X hits stores everywhere.
