    Yes, just buy as gift, it is an option isn't it? It is on Xbox it must be the same for Uplay, then you get a digital redemption code.
    But yeah I see what you are saying, yes you can buy the code and give it them.
    It is not account sensitive.

    Don’t think you can buy a key via Uplay and gift it.

    Easiest would be to go to CDKeys and buy a key. Then give it to your friend to activate on Uplay.

    No, the Uplay store does not have a gifting option. https://support.ubi.com/en-us/Faqs/0...-Store-Gifting

    This really should be a priority and their management is not on the ball for not making this a priority. It was a tactical error to dump steam without providing a mechanism for this. The epic store also is missing this functionality.

    That leaves people to go through other avenues, like buying keys from the grey market sites.

    My friends and I found this out shortly after the game launched after not seeing an option anywhere then we found the faq linked above. It encouraged friend "B" to give friend "A" access to their account login details just so Friend A could purchase the game on Friend B's account in order to "gift" them the game.

    The lack of the buy as a gift option is quite the head scratcher.

    Yes you can. You can buy it yourself and give it to someone else can't you?
    It's not linked to your account is it!?

    Not via Uplay.

    It's account-specific.

    Well that's annoying, it will have to be CDKeys or eBay then...
