Wishlists now accept user-created categories for sorting games, and notifications can be limited to a single category. Sharing no longer requires the whole list; players can share specific categories or filtered results. Gifting also changed, with purchased games and digital gift cards now deliverable to an email address rather than only to Steam friends.","whyItMatters":"The update turns the wishlist from a private tracking tool into a social and gift coordination tool, and it removes the friends-list requirement for gifting within the same country.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eEmail gifting carries a regional limit. The purchaser and the recipient must live in the same country; to gift someone in a different region, the recipient has to be on the Steam friends list, and the price in the recipient\u0026#39;s region applies at purchase.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sharing expansion also feeds into gifting. From a shared wishlist link, a player can select a game or digital gift card to buy directly, and the recipient field in the cart fills in automatically with the wishlist owner\u0026#39;s information.
