21.12.2023 – There’s nothing wrong with not being a gamer and having no idea what you’re going to surprise your acquaintance, friend or family member with as a gamer. Not everyone can be at home about this topic, and that’s okay, but fortunately we recognize that too and are writing an article about why we will be happy Players will be happy to receive it as a gift. So, if you’re a complete last-minute gift buyer looking for a console surprise, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve come up with some ideas that can’t be completed simply and quickly, but will definitely bring great joy after unpacking.

A new console never hurts

The controller is the most used device and the most loyal companion of console gamers, which can never be enough. It is important to know exactly what platform a person is playing on, and from there the shopping process is very easy: all you have to do is search for the piece that you like the most.

There are individual controllers for almost all consoles, and I prefer this one, as it provides a factory part with the device from the start. It’s not a last-minute purchase, but for Xbox owners, we can also assemble a completely custom console ourselves In the Xbox Design Lab, In fact, you can even put your photo and name on it. On the other hand, on PS4, we can choose from a lot of pre-made versions in almost every relevant store, while There are currently ten colors to choose from on the PS5 the most beautiful. There are also about half a hundred Nintendo Switch consoles, and we cannot make a bad decision even if we put the two-part solution that can be connected to the console or the traditional one under the tree.

If you have more money to spend, it may be worth looking at the products of one of the officially supported console manufacturers, which is a great option Nacon Or the Social Democrats PartyThe offer includes more than one distinctive piece. If you can pick something up on their official website, it’s worth looking for it in one of their Hungarian stores, as it will likely arrive faster (especially if you go to pick it up in person) than if you order from them directly. Don’t worry, the console will know exactly the same thing.

Everyone will be happy to participate

Aside from Nintendo, almost every platform now has some great gaming services, which even if the gamer has a subscription, everyone can be very happy with the free months. On Xbox, you can sign up for Game Pass – here you should choose Ultimate, where you can use it on both console and PC. This can also be offered to him in the form of a gift card offering access for 3, 6 and 12 months, which you will certainly find in most toy stores.

On PlayStation, it’s worth checking out the extra and premium tiers of the PS Plus game service, but we can’t give them away as a separate gift card. Instead, you have to buy a PlayStation Store Gift Card, which you can choose from from 1,000 to 20,000 Hungarian Forints (of course, they can be combined, so you can buy more than one at the same time). Our subject can replace this with anything in the PS Store, and if they want PS Plus, they can use it for that.

There are also hot accessories

It’s completely out of the question that in the sea of ​​console accessories – Out of range of controllers – We won’t find anything that we would consider a good gift, so I prefer to start the gift search with that. And here we really have everything we can imagine: PlayStation-Xbox stands with lighting, stands for controllers, chargers, headsets and their stands. But there are also more expensive gadgets, such as a steering wheel kit, virtual reality headsets, headphones, and perhaps additional storage space.

However, it is important to choose each accessory carefully, as not all devices are compatible with each other;

• Check the description and/or box to see if your chosen headset works on PS, Xbox, or Nintendo
• The VR headset is only available for PS devices: PS VR can be used for PS4 devices, while PS VR 2 is made for PS5 devices
• Same with handlebars: not everything can be paired with controllers, so always check if the fairing platform is marked on the box
• And be very careful about expanding the storage space: for PlayStation 5, we offer help in this article, while for Xbox you can only choose from the official options, it is almost impossible to get lost – but you have to pay attention to the signs here too, since space Xbox One storage is rarely used on the series, for which only Seagate and Western Digital produce flash drive-like SSDs

With the Nintendo Switch, the options are a bit limited, but there are plenty to choose from: for example, you can find great cases for it, easy-to-place protective covers, thumb sticks for analogues, headsets, screen protectors, adapters, as well as all kinds of consoles. Sports control.

Is the player more versatile? In-game currency is always a great gift

If we know that the person you want to give a gift to is a big fan of an online multiplayer game, it might be worth looking around to see what opportunities we have to surprise them in that game. One of the most popular and perhaps best ways to do this is to simply fill your virtual coffers with a bunch of spendable currencies that you can exchange for anything you want. Yes, it’s a bit like giving someone money, but different, more like a gift card, in that you can spend in-game money in one place and only on certain things – things that specifically interest you. So it is impossible to touch it.

First thing to do:

• Find out what he’s playing
• Use Google to see if there is any currency in that game
• Then on the game’s official page to find out how you can gift it to someone else.

However, it is very useful to be informed, because many scammers handle this money in-game. So it’s also a good solution if we don’t want to get into trouble with such things, to creatively let him know that he got 10,000 Hungarian Forints worth of V-bucks (Fortnite’s currency – of which you can also buy a separate gift card), Then upload your profile with some of the horses in your company. This is the easiest and safest way to give this type of gift.

Mortars, amulets, and utility items are also great

Perhaps the most obvious gifts are tangible trinkets or household items. Although it seems simple, and we may think that the person will not be happy enough, such a surprise can actually be very good. Whether it’s a toy, a figurine, a collector’s edition of your favorite game, a t-shirt/hoodie, a hat, a towel, a wallet, a keyring, a sticker, or whatever you choose, it will be used – so it makes practical sense Buy it. Here, you can only make the maximum mistake if you choose the wrong game, otherwise there is no chance that the surprise will not reach the target. In fact, you can also make him your own jacket and shirt to make him even more personal

If you still don’t know what to buy your loved one with a console, unfortunately the situation is hopeless. Anyway, if you have another idea, feel free to share it with us and others.
