Switch update preps family game gifting.

The option isn't live yet, so version 23.5.0 is more groundwork than gift-giving: the update adds compatibility for a feature coming to Switch and Switch 2. The interesting catch is who gets to use it. True Gaming reports that, starting November 16, 2026, subscribers in the same Nintendo Account family group will be able to gift one another games from Nintendo's digital store. This isn't open gifting for every player; the recipient has to be in that same family group.
