Unfortunately, you technically 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. Now, if you want 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 technically purchasing on the PlayStation Store, a physical copy will be your only option.
Fortunately, 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. You don't need to worry about this changing anytime soon. So if you insist on buying a game for your friend, make sure you have their address (or will see them in person to just give it to them), and as long as they're okay with disc drives, you can give them a physical copy of the game.
Previously, people could buy digital game codes through Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop stores. 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.
While you can't directly gift a digital 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 higher tiers offering an additional library of frequently updated games. The premium tier also offers a selection of classic games from previous eras of PlayStation and game trials for selected titles so that your friend can try a game before you buy. They'll also get instant access to the PlayStation Plus Collection, a selection of PS4 games accessible for PS5 users subscribed to PlayStation Plus.
It's not ideal, but if you're wondering how to gift PS4 or PS5 digital games to 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.
In a memo sent to GameStop stores, Sony explained that after April 1, retailers will no longer be able to sell game download codes for PlayStation systems. Though the memo was sent to GameStop, it emphasized that all retailers would be affected by this. Stores like Humble and Green Man Gaming have offered discounts on full game downloads in the past, and will apparently not be able to do so anymore.
The decision impacts all retailers, not just GameStop, and will mean you can no longer walk into a store and purchase a full PS4 game in digital form. Doing so was a nice and simple way to buy someone a game as a gift you could stick inside a card. However, DLC packs, add-ons, season passes, and virtual currency(Opens in a new window) will still be available to purchase.
It also looks like more emphasis is being placed on buying digital currency to then spend on the PlayStation Network, with Sony looking to offer "increased denominations at select retailers." Right now you can purchase codes that add between $10 and $100(Opens in a new window) to your account. It seems likely that will now increase to match the digital wallet limit of $200.
While specialist retailers such as GameStop will be hardest hit by this decision, they are only losing Sony and still have Microsoft, Nintendo, and PC game codes to sell. Even so, the PS4 ($369.99 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) is the lead console this generation and that means a lot of gamers who won't be able to buy digital games in-store for the console they own, which could lead to some of them not bothering to visit their local store at all.
If you have a PlayStation console and a love of gaming, you may get gift card voucher codes for the PlayStation Store from friends or family members. If that's the case, you may be wondering how to use these codes.
3. Your voucher should have come with a 12-digit code that you can now enter into this box. If the code was bought as a digital purchase, like through Amazon, you might only have the code in an email. An example code will look something like: 94GP-QTNL-KKNN.

Hi, I have a ps5 set to United Kingdom, I have found a game and ps plus membership which are usa codes. Can I redeem and play using a vpn set to usa (redeeming on the Sony website) and once I download will it let me play or will it be locked
If you are one of those people who prefer to buy their digital games codes for a bit lower price, through third-party retailers such as GameStop or CDkeys rather than paying full $60 on PlayStation Store, you will be disappointed to hear that Sony will no longer offer digital codes to such stores.
According to GameStop Store, they received a memo from Sony in which the publisher makes it clear that they will no longer provide full game digital download codes to them or any other third party retailers. Starting 01 April 2019, PlayStation 4 digital games will only be available straight from PSN while third-party stores will get to sell some add-on content and PSN cards.
The only two exceptions are the upcoming titles Mortal Kombat 11 and Days Gone. The digital versions of these two games will be available for sale in GameStop stores for only one week after their respective release dates. Those who pre-ordered digital versions of Mortal Kombat 11 or Days Gone will get their copies if the pre-order is made at least one week before the launch.
The memo also explains that if players have any questions about the changes to Sony's policy that will no longer provide third-party stores with digital codes, they should contact Sony directly for the clarification.
It's safe to say that many players will be displeased with Sony decision for a couple of reasons. The first one is an obviously higher price at PlayStation Store and the second one is gifting games feature that is yet to be implemented on Sony's store and it just makes buying games digitally for friends or family an unnecessary issue.
The answer is, yes: existing digital codes and PS Plus cards can still be used to buy the new PS Plus Premium, Essential or Extra. So you can still buy a PS Plus digital code and use it for the new subscription you want. The value of the card will simply be converted into the new membership of your choice. So keep reading to find out how many days of PS Premium you will get with a PlayStation Plus digital code for 1, 3, or 12 months!
Overall, getting a PlayStation Cash Card depends on where you are in the world. It will be easier if you have worldwide-accepted payment methods or are physically close to an official PlayStation retailer.
