Gift cards in Saudi Arabia (KSA): PlayStation, Xbox, Apple and more

How Saudi accounts work with gift cards, which regions to choose, and what to do with game top-ups.

Many gamers and app users in Saudi Arabia use gift cards because they are simple and do not need a bank card on the account. The key rule is the same as everywhere: the card region must match the account region.

PlayStation in Saudi Arabia

A Saudi PlayStation account needs a Saudi PlayStation card. Some players keep a US account for games that are released there first. In that case they need US cards for that account. The two balances are separate.

Apple and Google Play

Apple and Google Play accounts set to Saudi Arabia need Saudi cards. Changing the country of an Apple account is possible but has conditions, such as spending your remaining balance first.

Mobile games

PUBG Mobile, Free Fire and Mobile Legends top-ups are sent to your player ID. They do not depend on the App Store or Google Play region, which makes them easy to use from anywhere.

Prices on JR are shown in USD. The card itself is issued in the currency of its region, for example SAR for a Saudi card.
