Can I gift a PS5 game?
While you cannot directly gift a specific digital PS5 game from the PlayStation Store to another user, you can effectively gift a PS5 game to someone by purchasing a PlayStation Store gift card.
Gifting Digital PS5 Games
For digital PS5 games, the exclusive and official method for gifting is through PlayStation Store gift cards. This approach is especially convenient and often the only option if the recipient owns a PS5 Digital Edition, which does not have a disc drive.
How to Gift a PS5 Game
Here's a straightforward way to gift a PS5 game:
- Purchase a PlayStation Store Gift Card: These digital cards are widely available from various online retailers and come in different monetary values.
- Send the Gift Card: Many platforms allow you to order the digital code and have it sent directly to the recipient's email address, making it a quick and convenient delivery method.
- Recipient Redeems the Code: Once received, the gift card code can be redeemed on the recipient's PlayStation account. The corresponding funds are then added to their PlayStation Store wallet, which they can use to purchase any game, add-on content, or other items available on the PlayStation Store, including their desired PS5 game.
This method provides the recipient with the flexibility to choose exactly which game or content they prefer, ensuring your gift is always a perfect match.
