In an exciting move for gamers, Nintendo has dropped a major update for both the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 that brings eShop game gifting into the mix. The Version 23.5.0 update allows you to bestow digital games upon members in your Nintendo Account family group (up to eight in total). However, it's important to note that this feature doesn't extend to your friends list like on other platforms such as Steam. But hey, it's a step in the right direction! As for our beloved, family-friendly Nintendo, it's no surprise they're taking things slow when it comes to gifting. The update is set to include "eligible" games, DLC, and upgrade packs, but some products may not be eligible for digital gifting. Keep in mind that supervised accounts can't send gifts, and the number of purchases allowed within a certain period is limited. Gifts are instant, so make sure you're ready before hitting that 'send' button! The update also includes general improvements to enhance user experience, but specifics aren't provided. This news comes just in time for Christmas, making it easier than ever to spread the joy of gaming with your family group. Get ready to share the love, gamers!
