AMD has opened up its Raise the Game bundle redemptions portal. In addition, AMD has added Forspoken to the games roster, which we previously knew featured Sniper Elite 5 and Saints Row. AMD announced this revived bundling promotion last month, alongside details of the first flurry of games to offer FSR 2.0 support.

The revamped AMD Raise the Game bundle promotion began on May 10, with the participation of select retailers worldwide. AMD intends to keep this games giveaway promotion running, supplying codes to customers until August 13. With the GPU market facing possible turbulence this year, we think it would be a good idea to expand the promotion, or even completely overhaul it to keep PC upgraders interested. One must also remember that AMD, its partners, and retailers will want to thoroughly deplete stocks of Radeon RX 6000 family graphics cards before enthusiasts and gamers start putting off purchases due to the imminent arrival of next-generation RX 7000 products.

    I always view these promos as "our GPUs are overpriced and we don't want to lower MSRPs, so let us tack on games we can bulk-license for $10-15 a pop to keep hosing the $50-400 markups down customers' throats for a while longer."

    Looking at Canadian prices for the Pulse RX6600. It has dropped from $560 in April to $380 now. If that decline keeps up, I may be tempted to get one for sub-$300 in July.

    Most of the time I'm not interested in the game anyway, I can not remember when I did play the game that came bundled with hardware). I would just like the hardware to be cheaper.

    I had the choice of one of three games when I got my GTX1050. The only one of the three that was of any interest to me was Redout, likely the cheapest of the three. I played the base game for a decent number of hours, then bought a few track pack bundles in the 2020 holidays sale which I haven't tried in any meaningful manner yet.
