I'm looking at buying some DLC as a gift for a friend, but I want to double-check he doesn't already have it. He's not online right now to simply ask, and you'd think with the ability to see our shared games, I should be able to tell anyway, but I'm not sure. I could find out by buying a gift copy and seeing if it'll let me send it to him, but that's obviously a waste of money if he does have it.
Is there a way to tell if a friend already has a specific DLC, without buying a gift copy first?
Best Answer
DLC's have their own store page. If I look at the base game store page for Civ V for example, it shows me this in the right-hand-side:
If I then click (or hover) on the title of a DLC in the DLC list, (e.g. Brave New World) the right-hand-side shows me which people on my friends list actually own that DLC.
If your friend is already in that list, they have that DLC already.
