Gifting CS2 Prime To Steam Friends
Getting straight to the point, unfortunately, players cannot gift CS2 Prime to their Steam friends. Whenever you purchase something on Steam, you get an option to choose whether you want to make the purchase for your own account or for your friend. But you won’t get that option if you place the Prime Status Upgrade in your cart. The only way to acquire the Prime Status Upgrade is by purchasing it on your Steam account.
How To Gift CS2 Prime To Steam Friends
That said, there is an alternative method you can use to gift the Prime Status Upgrade to your Steam friends. Instead of buying the Prime Status itself for them, you can purchase gift cards worth the price of the Prime Status Upgrade and then give them the gift card. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to send Steam wallet gift cards to your Steam friends.
Step 1: Launch Steam and click on the “STORE” button
Step 2: Click on the “STEAM GIFT CARDS” button.
Step 3: Click the “Send a Digital Steam Gift Card” button.
Step 4: Select the amount for the gift card you like to send your friend and click the “Continue” button.
Step 5: Select the Steam friend you want to send the gift card to.
Step 6: Fill in the required information and click the “Continue” button.
Step 7: Continue with the purchase process.
