Year-in, year-out, one of the few things that stay the same here at 2Game is that we offer some of the finest gifts for PC gamers you could possibly be investing in. We are - of course - talking about video games. Specifically, PC games!

Now, if you find yourself unsure of what to get for your gamer in 2021, you've come to just the right place. Today, we'd like to present you with a positively massive game-gifting guide for this year. Biggest discounts, best deals, and an absolute glut of content that's just waiting for your gamer to get started with.

Really, not only are we presenting you with a comprehensive list of stellar gifts for PC gamers, but we're also offering them at top-notch prices. Huge discounts all year-'round, if you get lucky.

To that end, scroll ahead and see what options we've prepared for you. If none of them fit, be sure to check out our rotating list of ongoing deals & discounts, too!

Top Gifts for PC Gamers in 2021: A Comprehensive 2Game List

This overview is hitting our Community Hub on November 22nd, which means that - if you're reading this before December - you can make good use of our Black Friday sale to get a whole bunch of gamer gifts in one fell swoop. That's right - our Black Friday is a bit longer than one might imagine, with truly massive discounts being made available until December 1st. Be sure to check that out, too, if you have the chance to do so.

Otherwise, picking one of these out is simple! You just need to get the sense of whether your particular gamer is excited about a certain upcoming title, or if they've been talking a bunch about an already released game that they haven't yet had the time or money to play. Consider genre preferences, too! Sequels of games they otherwise enjoy are usually a good choice, too, so we're including a few popular titles for your consideration.

Beneath each game, we've included a few keywords that ought to help describe it to someone who's decidedly not a gamer, or just has a casual, passing interest in the hobby. Consult those if you need a bit more guidance than just the title alone, which isn't odd at all, considering the busy release schedules nowadays.

Have a look!

Naturally, these won't be out for the holiday season, but we're positive that your gamer will appreciate the gift all the same. Even more so, in some cases!

Elden Ring

• Open-world action role-playing game
• An open-world Dark Souls in all but name, Elden Ring promises to be the best open-world ARPG we've seen in quite some time now

Physical Gifts for Gamers - Gadgets and Goodies

Finally, if you just cannot make up your mind on which game to get for your gamer, we think a physical gift may be the way to go, instead. We've come up with a list of tried-and-true peripherals, goodies, and generally useful items that every PC gamer will find useful sooner or later.

We're including (mostly) Amazon links for simplicity's sake, but be sure to check out local deals for each of these gadgets, too. Odds are that you can save a neat chunk of dough by skipping shipping costs. Not to mention the fact that shipping routes are still messy and unreliable at this point, owing mostly to the COVID crisis.

New Gaming Mouse: Logitech G305

The fastest, sleekest, and most reliable wireless gaming mouse available, Logitech G305 is one of the finest gaming and general-use peripherals you could gift to someone. It's also very reasonably priced, which means you won't have to break the piggy bank to give one to your favorite gamer.

New Gaming Keyboard: Keychron C1

Keychron is in the business of making solid and reliable, yet not overly expensive keyboards. At the same time, they most certainly look expensive, especially if you get one of their higher-end models to boot. If you're on a budget, though, a simple and classy C1 will do just fine.

Fast Game Storage: Seagate FireCuda 530

SSDs are incredibly important for modern gaming. High-end NVMe SSDs even more so. This incredibly fast thumb-sized 2280 drive from Seagate offers impeccable performance and comes with a snazzy-looking heatsink by default. It is, however, priced at a premium.

Long-Term Game Backup Storage: Seagate BarraCuda HDD

Another Seagate entry, but this time for long-term storage and data transfer. If at all possible, it's recommended that you keep your commonly-played PC games on an SSD, like the FireCuda, but we do still recommend keeping a reliable and large hard drive at hand for long-term storage. This 2TB drive will do that just fine, letting your gamer move their library around at will. Really handy if you've got shoddy Internet!

Game Controller: Xbox Series Gamepad

Arguably the finest PC gamepad in existence, the Xbox Series controller is the pinnacle of modern gaming. Fast, reliable, and efficient, it is the go-to controller for anyone who wants to leave their mouse & keyboard aside every so often.

2Game Gift Card: Up to $100

Finally, if you're really at a loss on what to get for your gamer, then you can always consider investing in a 2Game Gift Card, and letting them pick out their gift by themselves! Generally speaking, it's the safest bet for PC game gift-giving, so if you're not interested in risking any major purchases, this may well be the way to go.

Closing Thoughts

We hope you managed to pick out a batch of gifts for PC gamers in your life, following this big list of top choices! Though we've limited our picks to cutting-edge and still relevant titles, it's a given that 2Game's library packs a whole lot of punch even if you look back a bit to older games.

Before we wrap this up, it's worth pointing out yet once more that you really want to make sure that your gamer doesn't already have the game you're getting them for holidays. It's pretty self-explanatory, but if you're dealing with a hardcore play-it-all, things can get tricky really quickly.

So! Scope things out as much as you can, and you'll be golden. And even though it might seem odd to gift someone a game code, just think of all the hours of fun you're actually getting them, instead. It's like a movie or a concert ticket, except one that's good for the foreseeable future. What's not to like?
