Digital Credit for Gamers

If the person on your list spends more time in front of a console than a book, store credit for their platform of choice is basically the equivalent of handing them a basket in a game store. Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, and Xbox digital gift cards all let players choose what matters to them: full games, indie titles, DLC, in-game currency, or subscriptions like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass.

From your perspective, it’s simple. You will, of course, need to know what system they use, as specific gift cards won’t work across all consoles. So ask once, buy the matching card online at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, or another major retailer, and forward the email. Some platforms even let you redeem directly through their app.

This is one of the easiest gifts to send to kids, teens, and young adults. They can get any title they want and take advantage of the holiday sales most games offer.
