Gifting is a feature that allows players to purchase and gift in-app purchase (IAP) items for their friends. All IAP items can be gifted while they are available for purchase in the in-game shop or other menus (e.g. event Spirit’s menu)

In order to gift IAP items to a friend, you must meet all of the following criteria:

• Be friends with the recipient for at least 3 days.

• Be in-person with the recipient to access their Friendship Tree in-game.

• Unlock the second friendship tier (requires one Ascended Candle to unlock).

• The recipient has to accept your offer before you make any purchase.

• In-app purchasing is enabled on your device.

Follow these steps to gift IAP items to friends:

1. Meet your friend directly in-game. Note: If the item is available through a spirit’s menu, make sure you and your friend are standing close to the spirit.

2. Open their friendship menu, and scroll up to the second friendship tier.

3. Select the Gifting icon which is located next to the fist bump interaction, and open the list of items.

4. Select the item you want to purchase and gift to your friend.

5. A confirmation message will appear to verify whether you wish to buy the item for the friend.

6. Confirm and wait for your friend to accept your gift/offer.

7. Proceed with the purchase verification process your device requires.

Important: There might be times when you cannot gift IAPs to a friend, including:

• Your friend declined your offer:

  • Gifting feature is entirely opt-in, and your friend can choose whether to accept or decline your offer.

• You try to gift IAPs from mobile/PlayStation/PC to your Nintendo Switch friend

  • IAPs include, but are not limited to, purchases for in-game items, in-game currency, cosmetics, bundles, starter packs, et al.

  • IAPs that do not contain candles or are not bundled with gift passes CAN be gifted from mobile/PlayStation/PC/Steam to Nintendo Switch.

  • IAPs that contain candles or are bundled with gift passes CANNOT be gifted from mobile/PlayStation/PC/Steam to Nintendo Switch due to platform policy. 

  • IAPs CAN be gifted from Nintendo Switch to other platforms (mobile/PlayStation/PC/Steam).

  • Individual gift pass purchases from the store CANNOT be gifted using the IAP gifting feature from mobile/PlayStation/PC/Steam to Nintendo Switch due to platform policy. However, if you own a gift pass, sending this pass to a friend through the Gift Pass icon in the friendship tree is not restricted across platforms.

Also, please note that it's possible in rare instances to gift a recipient an item they may already own through a purchase or a thatgamecompany reward (e.g. screenshot challenge, community contest, etc). We highly recommend that you confirm with your friend that they do not have the intended item prior to gifting as we cannot change the recipient of the gift.
