From PC World: The Fury is with you, Star Wars fans: AMD is teaming up with its old pal Electronic Arts to offer gamers looking for a new graphics card a nice freebie. Anyone who buys a select AMD Radeon R9 Fury graphics card before the end of January 2016 will get a free copy of Star Wars Battlefront.
The deal does not appear to cover Fury X or Nano cards, only the $550, air-cooled Fury. AMD has eight possible versions of the Fury on its site that are part of the deal including cards from Asus, Gigabyte, PowerColor, Sapphire, and XFX. A quick glance around the web at sites like Newegg show similar cards offering the free game deal.
Giving away free games with a new GPU purchase is nothing new. Nvidia is currently doing the same thing right now with its ”Bullets or Blades” bundles. Until December 14, gamers get their choice of Assasin’s Creed Syndicate or Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege when they buy select GeForce graphics cards.
Nevertheless, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens heading to theaters in December, and the plain old fandom surrounding Star Wars, AMD’s offer sure is tempting.
