How to get Starfield for free with AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs

❘ Updated: 2023-09-04T15:37:22

AMD has cooked up a spicy new CPU bundle and offers Starfield for free with select Ryzen 7000 CPUs. Here’s how you can get a free copy of Starfield, though conditions apply.

Bethesda and AMD have partnered up for Starfield, which might have irritated some hopeful PC players wanting DLSS to be implemented in the game. However, if you desperately need a PC upgrade before its release, AMD’s latest bundle is a pretty good deal.

It’s important to note that AMD has transitioned to the AM5 platform. The deal doesn’t feature any Ryzen 5000 series chips, including the impressive 5800X3D. So, you could be setting up a brand-new gaming PC.

Keep in mind that the AM5 platform exclusively supports DDR5 RAM. This means a new RAM kit will be needed. Remember to explore our top picks for motherboards and RAM.

Such promotional deals aren’t a novelty for AMD. They’ve previously offered bundles like a Ryzen and Jedi: Survivor package or The Last of Us Part 1 with AMD’s Radeon GPUs.

When does the AMD Starfield bundle go live?

There’s no set date from AMD regarding the Starfield bundle just yet. We’d recommend not buying one of the listed CPUs until Newegg and other stores specifically list that you’ll be able to claim it. We’ll be sure to keep you updated when this offer finally goes live.

All you’ll need to do is wait for the deal to go live. Order your CPU and you’ll be provided a code to redeem either upon delivery in the box, or it’ll be emailed to you. This will probably not be a Steam code, but instead, something you’ll need to log into AMD’s specific redemption portal.

Which CPUs will come with a free copy of Starfield?

AMD has limited the list to just a select few Ryzen 7000 CPUs, including:

Ryzen 9 7950X3D
Ryzen 9 7950X
Ryzen 9 7900X3D
Ryzen 9 7900X
Ryzen 9 7900
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Ryzen 7 7700X
Ryzen 7 7700
Ryzen 5 7600X
Ryzen 5 7600

Currently, our top recommendation would be to try to grab an X3D variant, as these provide the best performance in gaming.
