AMD offers Far Cry 5 for free with Radeon powered PCs

AMD is offering an incentive to buy a Radeon graphics-powered pre-built PC this year by bundling a copy of Ubisoft's Far Cry 5 with every purchase. To qualify for the freebie, the PC being purchased must be running either a Radeon RX 580, RX Vega 56, or an RX Vega 64 GPU and come from a specific list of vendors. This offer is only applicable to pre-built PCs and leaves out standalone GPU buyers.

While not explicitly stated, leaving out standalone GPUs has an undercurrent that recognizes the shortage of gaming GPU stocks at fair prices due to increasing cryptocurrency mining. System builders, however, have an advantage of getting cards in bulk at reasonable prices. Therefore, it makes sense at this juncture to cater to those who would actually buy a gaming PC for, well, gaming instead to those who tend to create an acute GPU shortage off the shelves by way of mining.

The names of PC vendors participating in this offer are listed by region in the terms and conditions document here. To claim the free copy, the coupon code issued by the authorized PC retailer needs to be redeemed on the AMD Rewards site and linked to the user's UPlay library. The offer runs till May 20, 2018 starting now, although, the game itself is launching only on March 27. Copies have to be claimed before July 15, 2018.
