For starters, gifting rules on Steam have changed and now it's impossible to buy Steam Gifts, keep them in your inventory and send them to anybody you want to. You send a gift to a specific user and if they don't accept it, you just get a refund. Only the games you had in your inventory prior to the change can still be gifted according to the old rules, but that’s about it.

How do you gift a game on Steam?

To gift a game in Steam, you click the “purchase for friend”, rather than “purchase for myself option in the checkout menu.

If you’re having a little trouble still, below is a more in-depth, step-by-step breakdown of the process.

Pick the game you want to purchase and go to the checkout.

From there you’ll see a handy option to “gift to a friend” rather than purchase it for yourself.

In the next window just tick the Steam friend you want to send it to, or enter their email address.

From there, once you clear the final payment window, the game should appear in their Steam library.

If you’re away from the computer, you can also use the Steam mobile app to gift games. The process is exactly the same as it is on PC.

If you’re not a hardcore gamer and don’t know what to get your lucky giftee, then don’t worry Trusted Reviews has you covered with its best PC games guide.
