Overview
- A new Gift button enables a "Buy as a Gift" flow to select a friend, add a preset message, and optionally schedule delivery.
- Gifts cover paid games, editions, durable add-ons and eligible bundles, excluding free titles, pre-purchases, subscriptions and in-game currency or consumables.
- Recipients have 14 days to accept or decline, and purchases are automatically refunded if declined or already owned.
- Gifting works only within the same region for now, with cross-region support planned in a future update.
- Gift purchases earn Epic Rewards worth 5%–20% back, and balances can be applied toward gift purchases, narrowing a long-running gap with Steam’s feature set.
