How to buy and redeem Prey gift cards

· · 3 min

What you are actually buying

Prey is one of those games people sleep on until they actually play it, and then they will not shut up about it. You wake up on Talos I as Morgan Yu. Everything goes sideways. We sell gift cards that let you grab the game without putting your credit card on yet another storefront.

Three versions are available on our store. Prey base game runs about 4 USD. Prey Mooncrash, the roguelike expansion, is about 5 USD. Prey Digital Deluxe bundles the base game with Mooncrash and extra content, also about 5 USD. Those prices are approximate, as always.

Short answer on which to pick. If you have never played Prey, get the base game first. If you already own it and want the expansion, Mooncrash is a separate card. Digital Deluxe makes sense if you want everything in one redemption and the price difference is basically a dollar.

Why a gift card instead of buying direct

Some people do not want their card on file with every gaming platform they use. Others want to send a game to a friend without needing that person's login. A gift card code handles both. You get a code by email, forward it or redeem it yourself, and the transaction stays separate from your main accounts.

We are an independent reseller. That means we are not partnered with the publisher or any carrier. We source codes, list them at the prices you see, and deliver them by email after purchase.

How to buy a Prey gift card on BlinkCodes

  1. Go to blinkcodes.com and search for Prey in the gift cards section.
  2. Pick the version you want: base game, Mooncrash, or Digital Deluxe.
  3. Add it to your cart and proceed to checkout.
  4. Enter your email address carefully, because that is where the code goes.
  5. Complete payment.
  6. Check your inbox for the redemption code from us.

If the email does not show up within a few minutes, look in your spam folder before panicking. If it is still not there, write to support@blinkcodes.com and we will sort it out.

How to redeem the code

The redemption process depends on which platform the code is for, but the general flow is the same everywhere. You enter the code in the right store, the store validates it, and the game lands in your library.

  1. Open the platform store associated with your code.
  2. Find the redeem code or wallet section in the account menu.
  3. Type or paste the code exactly as it appears in your email.
  4. Confirm the redemption when the store shows the game title.
  5. Wait for the download or library entry to appear.
  6. Install and launch Prey.

One thing I have seen people get wrong: they try to redeem a code on the wrong regional store. If your account region does not match the code region, the store will reject it. Check your account region first if you run into an error.

Which version should you get

Here is a quick breakdown based on what we sell.

Prey base game at about 4 USD is the full single-player campaign. Start here if you are new to the game.

Prey Mooncrash at about 5 USD is the standalone expansion with a roguelike structure. It expects some familiarity with the base game mechanics.

Prey Digital Deluxe at about 5 USD includes the base game and Mooncrash together. Best value if you want both and do not own either yet.

The price gap between the base game and the Digital Deluxe is roughly one dollar. If you think you will want Mooncrash eventually, the bundle saves you money compared to buying them separately.

Common issues and quick fixes

Most redemption problems come down to typos or region mismatches. Copy the code from your email instead of typing it by hand. If the store says the code is invalid, double-check that your account region matches. If it says the code has already been used, contact us right away at support@blinkcodes.com with your order number.

Sometimes a code takes a few minutes to activate on the store side after we send it. Give it ten minutes before assuming something is broken. Platform stores occasionally have their own delays that have nothing to do with the code itself.

Sending a Prey gift card to someone else

If you are buying for a friend, just enter their email at checkout instead of yours. The code goes straight to them. You can also enter your own email and forward the code whenever you want, which is useful if you are planning a surprise and want to control the timing.

Make sure the recipient has an account on the right platform and in the right region before you send it. A code they cannot redeem is a disappointing gift, and we cannot always swap it after the fact.
