The Taiwanese AMD website has preemptively posted about the new promotion the company is planning on running. As Videocardz reported the bundle is expected to start on the 11th of July all the way until after the Starfield release date, on the 6th of September. But you will have until the 30th to login in, or redeem until the 28th of the same month.
Although not confirmed by the other regional accounts yet it is quite a likely promotion considering the game is sponsored by AMD itself. Even if many gamers are worried about the sponsorship deal and the fact DLSS might be excluded from being included as it has in many other games exclusively only allowed FSR to be implemented. With the amount of news on the topic though it might cause a change to allow it as it’s going to be a rather popular title for the year.
The promotion was previously also let slip by Newegg a few days before as well, but the AMD hub page does provide some more details on what to expect. In particular that the promo is going to be split into two tiers with older GPUs included as well not just the new RDNA 3 options. On the other hand, CPUs are only just the new Zen 4 options since there are a few more to choose from compared to RX 7000 cards.
The two tiers available for Starfield are Premium and Standard. The more expensive option will earn you five-day early access to the game before its launch. To qualify for that you need a Ryzen 9 7900 CPU or better, or with an RX 6700 plus in RDNA 2, or RX 7900 XTX/XT in RDNA 3 to qualify for it.
Whilst for a standard option to get the game, you just need to have a Ryzen 5 7700 CPU or above to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Or in terms of GPU, an RX 6600 to 6650 XT or RX 7600. With a starting date soon enough we should find out more details if there are any changes to the worldwide options.
