Beyond the Riot, Battle.net, and Epic publisher wallets covered elsewhere, three more major publishers run their own closed ecosystems worth understanding separately before buying one as a gift.
Rockstar Games Card: GTA Online and Red Dead Online currency specifically
A Rockstar Games Card primarily funds Shark Cards for GTA Online (in-game cash for vehicles, properties, and businesses) and the equivalent currency system in Red Dead Online. It's a narrower-purpose wallet than the others on this list — mainly relevant specifically for players active in Rockstar's online multiplayer modes rather than general Rockstar Games Launcher purchases.
Ubisoft Connect: Ubisoft's full catalog plus in-game currencies
A Ubisoft Connect Gift Card covers purchases across Ubisoft's full catalog — Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six Siege — plus in-game currencies for Ubisoft's live-service titles, all through one connected wallet. If the recipient plays multiple Ubisoft franchises, this single wallet covers all of them rather than needing separate currency for each game.
EA App / Origin: EA's full catalog, including sports title points
An EA App / Origin Gift Card covers EA's broader catalog beyond just the FIFA/EA FC Points Card discussed elsewhere — Battlefield, The Sims expansions, and other EA titles all draw from the same EA App wallet, making it a broader-purpose card than a sports-specific points card alone.
None of these three overlap with each other
Same rule as the Riot/Battle.net/Epic comparison — these publisher wallets don't share balances, so buying the wrong one for someone who doesn't play that specific publisher's games leaves the balance effectively unusable. Confirming what the recipient actually plays remains the single most important step before buying any publisher-specific card, more important than any other detail covered in this comparison.
Sports-specific points cards are a separate, narrower product
Worth distinguishing from the broader EA App card: the FIFA / EA FC Points Card and Call of Duty Points Card are narrower, single-franchise currencies rather than a full publisher wallet — useful specifically if you know the recipient only plays that one title and don't need the broader catalog access a full publisher gift card provides.
Balance visibility and account linking work similarly across all three
All three wallets show a running balance directly in their respective launcher app, and redeeming a gift card is a matter of entering the code in account settings before making a purchase — the redemption mechanics are consistent even though what each wallet actually covers, as described above, differs significantly.
None of these three balances expire once redeemed, making them reasonable to buy well ahead of a sale or a new release the recipient is anticipating, similar in that respect to the Riot, Battle.net, and Epic wallets covered separately in an earlier guide on this same general topic.
Quick FAQ
Which card is best for someone who mainly plays GTA Online? The Rockstar Games Card is the most directly relevant because it is designed around Rockstar's online game currencies.
Can an EA App / Origin Gift Card be used for EA games beyond sports titles? Yes, it is broader than a FIFA / EA FC Points Card and is intended for purchases within EA's wider catalog.
Can Ubisoft Connect, EA, and Rockstar balances be combined? No, each publisher operates its own separate wallet and account ecosystem.
The bottom line
Recipient plays GTA Online or Red Dead Online: Rockstar Games Card. Plays across Ubisoft franchises: Ubisoft Connect. Plays EA's broader catalog beyond just sports titles: EA App/Origin. All three, plus the Riot/Battle.net/Epic wallets covered separately, are in Gaming Gift Cards.
