Please help!

We are doing an Angel tree gift this year for an 11 year old who asked for video games. Unfortunately, nothing indicates the platform, and I’ve tried and failed to find that out. How best to proceed?

We looked at visa gift cards, but it looks like those don’t always allow you to add them to your console. Would a GameStop gift card be the best option?

    Gamestop gift card, or a gift card for another large gaming retailer like Target/Walmart/Best Buy.

    Visa gift cards can be used at any retailer, but yeah, I’m not sure how that works for online stores like Xbox/PSN/Steam.

    I should say too… SOME games are platform specific. So if they’re asking for the new Zelda game, that’s ONLY on the Switch. Makes it easier.

        FIFA and Madden, which are at least XBox and Playstation I believe. Not sure if they are on PC.

          FIFA and Madden have both been made for EVERYTHING, so, yeah, no easy way to run that down.

          Go for a $140 gift card because new games are often hitting $70 each.
