Still looking for the perfect Christmas gift? (Or just getting started?). Don’t worry– with CDKeys’ instant digital delivery, you still have plenty of time!
Right now during the CDKeys Christmas Sale is one of the best times of the entire year to shop… and there’s a lot to choose from.
Need a little help sifting through the deals? Below are the 5 great gift ideas for the gamer in your life this holiday season… even if that gamer happens to be you.
The Gift of Christmas “Pass” – An Xbox Game Pass Membership
Xbox Game Pass is the way to go if you want a massive selection of old and new titles to play as much (or as little) as your time allows this holiday season. It’s basically Netflix for video games (on both console and PC). Here’s how it works:
You pay one monthly price to unlock an entire catalog of Xbox and/or PC games (depending on the platform you game on). There are hundreds of different titles to play 24/7, for as long as your membership is active— including new releases (like Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones) on the day they launch!
There are now more tiers of Xbox Game Pass subscriptions than ever, which is a little confusing, but perfect for picking the plan that’s right for you. For a breakdown of all the different Game Pass membership types, including the new Game Pass “Core”, check out the blog post right here.
The Gift of Christmas Present – Current Best-Sellers
When in doubt… go for what’s popular. It’s hard to argue with stellar reviews, booming player count, and accolades from The Game Awards.
