Well, first of all, bro, you can’t gift a digital copy of a game anymore on PS4 or PS5. While this used to be an option, it’s no longer possible. At present, provided you expect to give a digital game to a friend, you’ll want to send them a PlayStation Store gift card so they can buy the game themselves. It’s far from ideal, but it’s the only real option. You can buy someone a physical game, but then you’ll have to ship it to them, and they can’t play it if they are using a PS5 Digital Edition. While inconvenient, if you truly want to buy a game for someone without them, a physical copy will be your only option.
Luckily, if this is truly the way you want to do it, Sony continues to produce physical copies of all its first-party games from Sony Worldwide Studios and major third-party titles from other companies. All of the best PS5 games will be available physically and digitally for the foreseeable future.
The reason for why can’t we gift digital games anymore?
Effective as of April 1, 2019, Sony disallowed retailers to sell full digital game download codes.
“We can confirm that as of April 1, 2019, Sony Interactive Entertainment will no longer offer full games through SIE’s Global Digital at Retail program,” a PlayStation spokesperson told The Verge. “This decision was made to continue to align key businesses globally. To support full games and premium editions, SIE will introduce increased denominations at select retailers. DLC, add-ons, virtual currency, and season passes will still be available.”
Previously, people could buy digital game codes through stores like Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop. Now, however, that’s no longer an option. Unfortunately, there aren’t many other options for those looking for different paths to gifting games to their friends, especially if you’re strictly looking to pick up a digital copy.
What about game subscriptions?
While not directly gifting a game, you do also have the option of buying your friend a subscription service like PlayStation Plus. Anyone subscribed to PlayStation Plus gets free monthly games that they can keep forever, with premium titles often offered, so PS5 owners have access to plenty of games. In addition, they’ll also get instant access to the PlayStation Plus Collection, a selection of PS4 games accessible for PS5 users who are subscribed to PlayStation Plus.
How to solve?
You can buy the PlayStation Store Gift Card on Amazon!
It’s not ideal, but if you’re wondering how to gift PS4 digital games for your friends, you’ll need to buy them a gift card. Luckily, you have several denominations to choose from, and it does give your friend a choice in what they pick out.
