Gifting someone digital downloads on ps4

See, back in April of , Sony stopped letting retailers sell digital game download codes for full games. Purchases on the Store are immediately attached to your account. You can still buy DLC, virtual currency, add-ons, and season passes from retailers in digital form though, so gifting those is easy.

To get around this weird shift by Sony , the only way currently to gift a digital game to your friends is to buy a PlayStation Store Gift Card for the amount of the game, and send them the codes for the gift card.

KittyHeart 4 years ago 1 like if i buy a digital game, can i gift it to someone on my friends list? FrozenSneak 4 years ago 2 No, PSN doesn't allow you to gift games and all purchases are tied to your account.

Would you play a Fantastic Four game in the style of the GotG game? This is hardly the way to beat holiday crowds. You can track down where Google Play gift cards are available, but sending them electronically is a little trickier.

Amazon offers several options for delivery, including email, a printout, or a Facebook post. Order the gift card in advance of the holiday, and you can even get a physical version of the card mailed to your recipient.

If you go with an electronic version of the card, Amazon lets you set your delivery date. Amazon offers its own gift card designs, but you can also add a touch of personalization if you prefer. You can upload your own photo, which is a definite improvement over the pre-canned look-and-feel of a digital gift certificate.
