rageagainstmachine Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I want to gift a game to someone on steam, but i don?t know their steam username. My idea was to send it to their email, but how does it work from there. Does the end user have the ability to associate teyh gifted game themself?s to their own steam account? thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1092073-gifting-on-steam/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedroth Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You can gift to an email according to Steam: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?p_faqid=549#gifts-recipient I haven't used this process before, but I would imagine it would give the recipient an activation link where they can redeem the game. (I would imagine it can only be redeemed to a Steam account only linked to that email address) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1092073-gifting-on-steam/#findComment-595013293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
