  1. Buy a digital game as a gift but for Christmas


    Hello

    I want to buy Riders Republic as a gift for someone for Christmas. Its got a big discount at the moment as still has the Black Friday discount. If I buy it now it looks like it will send it straight to the person. I obviously don't want it to go immediate because its for Christmas! I can't see how to buy it now but save the redeeming it til Christmas. Surely I can buy a digital code or something to enable me to buy now and gift later??

    :)

    So just to be clear, I can log into Microsoft and go to the store and buy as a gift and put say my sons email address (he already has the game) and it just sends him a code so then I can pass that code to my niece at Christmas?? It doesn't have to be sent to the person I want to buy it for??

    Did it workout for you? You purchased the game and received a code by email?

    Good point. I'll do it the other way around!

    Thank you

    Correct. Just make sure your son knows to not redeem the code.

    It is a digital code that you're purchasing, it just sends it to the other person. If you have another email address, you can send it to yourself and then give them the code later.
