How to gift a video game if I don't know the platform (self.gaming)

Please help!

We are doing an Angel tree gift this year for an 11 year old who asked for video games. Unfortunately, nothing indicates the platform, and I've tried and failed to find that out. How best to proceed?

We looked at visa gift cards, but it looks like those don't always allow you to add them to your console. Would a GameStop gift card be the best option?

Okay, that helps. Both are on PC, but it's unlikely this 11 year old plays them on PC, as this is primarily a game people play on consoles in either case. Both will also have physical versions. If I were a betting man, I'd bet they want the PS5 version, but that's like a 65% chance. I'm not sure what your situation is, but surely you could ask the kid's parents, right? Also FYI, FIFA is the old name for the series, and starting with this year, it now goes by EA Sports FC.
