Looking for the perfect gift for that PlayStation gamer in your family? Look no further! We’ve got you covered with plenty of goodies for PlayStation fans. 

In-game credits for FIFA 22, Apex Legends, GTA V and more

First off, you can happily surprise any PlayStation gamer with some extra in-game credits for their favorite game. Provide them with some Apex Coins or Call of Duty Coins to customize their characters and weapons in their most beloved shooter. Or pick up some FIFA Points and GTA Shark Cards to help them get the most out of FIFA 22 and GTA V. In-game credits are the perfect gift for all those dedicated gamers!

Even more gaming benefits with PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now

You also can’t go wrong with a PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now gift card. With these subscriptions, your loved ones get access to online gaming, new free games each month, and hundreds of iconic PlayStation games that can be streamed or downloaded on demand. Perfect no matter what game they enjoy!

The best PlayStation titles of 2021 with PlayStation Store credit

If you’d rather let your friend or family member pick their gift, a PlayStation Store gift card is the best solution! Pick up a gift card of your preferred value and let your loved ones download their most desired titles right from the PlayStation Store.

Best gift ideas for Xbox gamers

Xbox gamers also have plenty of gaming gifts to look forward to in 2021! We’ll start off by going over some of the best Xbox titles to give this year.

Halo Infinite, Mass Effect Trilogy and other popular releases of 2021

First on our list is Halo Infinite. The newest installment of this iconic first person shooter franchise was released on December 8 and will be an amazing gift for nearly every Xbox gamer out there. Another game you can’t go wrong with is the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. This compilation features the full Mass Effect trilogy with Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. Perfect for both long-time fans and new players! Third on our list is Capcom’s critically acclaimed Resident Evil Village, which released earlier this year. This newest Resident Evil installment features plenty of scares for any survival horror fan out there. Last but not least on our list, we recommend Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red’s incredible action RPG features an incredible open world atmosphere that remains worth exploring, even one year after its release, and with upcoming new content in 2022, Cyberpunk 2077 is a must-have for any Xbox gamer you’re shopping for!
