Is there a way to gift someone a game from my Playstation library?
A couple months ago I tried to buy Ghost of Tsushima but in a drunken stupor accidentally bought Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I didn't realize my mistake until I was like an hour into the game (again, drunk) so when I contacted Playstation trying to get a refund they told me I was ineligible for a refund due to already installing the game (even though it installs immediately after purchase).
So is there any way I can give it to someone else? It's not my type of game and I'll never play it so I'd rather see someone actually play it.
The easy answer is no.
The long answer is, you don't actually own the game.
Maybe if you owned the game. What you own is a license.
A non-transferable one, at that.
I don't think many gamers have the millions of dollars in their bank account to actually buy a game.
A transferable license like games on physical media would be nice, though. Which you can still do, as far as I can tell.
If it's digital and Playstation refuses to cooperate, I'm afraid it's no dice.
Unless you've played through Sekiro already, you should do so and get your money's worth at least; it's still an amazing game.
As much as I'd like to attempt to play the game, I'm not a fan of the dark souls esque games.
Realistically it's just gonna collect virtual dust I suppose 🤷♂️
If you were going to enjoy Ghost of Tsushima you're almost certainly going to enjoy Sekiro. Seriously, give it a go. It's not as intimidating as you think, I promise.
I'm also not a fan of the dark souls games, something compelled me to give Sekiro a try and it's now one of my all time favourites...

Not answering your question here, but how's any of that legal?
No, sadly. You can share it with friends via family sharing though.
I find this a bit odd and slightly insulting?
It was meant as funny and slightly insulting. Unless....
It's okay, it'll make sense once you sober up. :)
For physical games: just give them the disk, it's that simple.
For digital games: no. Why? You only own the license, which can (and probably will) expire one day.
