PlayStation 5 is now the only console that lacks a digital game gifting option.
Nintendo eShop will allow digital game gifting, but PS5's PlayStation Store still lacks it, highlighting a gap in storefront features.
Nintendo Confirms eShop Will Let Players Gift Digital Games While PS Store Still Does Not
Background: Nintendo has been described as playing catch-up on digital storefront features, even though the topic concerns a Nintendo platform with an existing storefront.
Development: Today, the company confirmed that Nintendo eShop will receive the ability to gift digital games. The update adds gifting directly to the Nintendo storefront experience.
Latest Progress: The PS Store still does not allow digital game gifting. The PS Store will eventually be the only place where users can buy new PlayStation games, so the missing feature is more visible.
Current Stage: At the time of confirmation, Nintendo is moving ahead with a storefront capability that Sony has not yet provided through the PS Store. If even a Nintendo platform can offer digital gifting, a storefront without it appears behind the times.
