Can I gift EA Play on Steam?

You can gift already-released, full EA games and extra content, including special editions, and as a member of EA Play, your discount applies to gifts, but the games and other benefits that come with your EA Play subscription are exclusively available to your Steam user account and cannot be shared via Steam Family Sharing. The EA Play membership itself cannot be directly gifted on Steam, but you can purchase a gift card that can be used to buy an EA Play membership or other EA games and content.
