By experience, online gaming is perhaps the best way to keep friends around and build new bonds. For example, recently, a friend gifted Age of Empires IV on Steam to me. Since then, I’ve played the RTS title with a group of long-time friends, and it’s great. So, we’re covering how to gift a game on Steam with a step-by-step guide for beginners. There’re three ways to gift a game on Steam.
Buying a game for someone else Sending a gift card to someone else Sending a duplicate copy to someone else
Before gifting a game on steam, you need to be friends with that person.

If you’re not a new user and your friend is not a new user, you can start right here.
How to gift a duplicate copy to your friends
The third method is giving away a duplicate copy of a game to your friend. By duplicate, I don’t mean a game you bought twice, as it’s impossible. Instead, game bundles as Valve’s “The Orange Box” contain duplicate copies. The idea is that you can gift the extra copies to a friend. Sending a gift on Steam is easy, although it can be complex for new users. But if you’re familiar with the app, it won’t take more than five minutes. It’s a great way to make someone happy, even if you don’t share a gaming hobby. Luckily, even if they don’t accept the game, you can always get your money back.
