Steam gift cards
The default choice for PC gamers. The balance goes into the Steam Wallet and can be spent on almost anything in the Steam store, including sales.
PlayStation and Xbox gift cards
Ideal for console players. Both can be used for games, add-ons and subscriptions such as PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass. Make sure the card region matches the console account.
Nintendo eShop
Perfect for Switch owners who prefer digital games. Nintendo cards are strongly region-specific, so check the account country first.
Roblox and in-game currencies
If someone plays one game most of the time, a game-specific card such as Roblox, PUBG Mobile UC, Free Fire diamonds or Fortnite V-Bucks is often the most appreciated gift.
How to choose
- Ask (or check) which platform they play on.
- Confirm the account region. Read why gift card regions matter.
- Pick a value. $25 to $50 covers most single games and add-ons.
