Aside from initiatives like MRT-3 payment, GCash is also focusing on giving Filipino gamers more convenient payment options for their favorite titles.
With over a third of Filipinos enjoy playing video games, it’s fair to say that gaming has grown leaps and bounds over the years, whether it’s on PC, consoles, or mobile. With this in mind, GCash is providing gamers in the Philippines with convenient payment options, especially for those without credit cards (a big chunk of the younger gaming audience in the country).
For starters, gamers can get physical copies of console games, as well as the latest gaming gear in stores by scanning QR codes. This is thanks to the fact that the country’s major gaming retailers like DataBlitz and Game One PH support GCash QR payments. Plus, flexible payment options are available via GGives.
In the app itself, GCash also has direct payment options for platforms like Jollymax and Codashop. As for shops that require cards, the GCash VISA Card lets users shop globally. This is especially useful for the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop, as GCash VISA works on these, even if the Philippines is not an officially supported region.
Finally, gamers can top-up on diamonds for Mobile Legends and buy all sorts of in-game currency from Razer Gold with no issues. That’s because GCash is an officially supported payment options on these platforms.
