AMD "Raise the Game" Bundle Makes a Comeback
AMD announced the 2019 edition of its "Raise the Game" game-bundle offer that goes with purchase of its Ryzen desktop processors and Radeon RX graphics cards. The bundle extends the 3-month Xbox Game Pass to a much larger part of AMD's product lineup, and not just the Radeon RX 5700-series. The bundle introduces three new AAA games to the mix - Tom Clancy's "Ghost Recon: Breakpoint," "The Outer Worlds," and "Borderlands 3," including AMD-exclusive in-game content. Depending on what AMD product you buy, you either get both games, or get to choose between the two. The 3-month Xbox Game Pass stays included.
AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 series and Ryzen 7 3800X includes both games - "The Outer Worlds" and "Borderlands 3," - and the 3-month Xbox Game Pass. The Ryzen 7 3700X, 3600X, 2700X, and 2700 include one of the two games - "The Outer Worlds" or "Borderlands 3," and the 3-month Xbox Game Pass. The Ryzen 5 3600, 3400G, and Ryzen 5 2000-series include just the 3-month Xbox Game Pass. Over in the GPU front, buyers of Radeon RX 5700-series, RX 590, RX 580, and RX 570, get to choose one of the two games - Tom Clancy's "Ghost Recon: Breakpoint" or "Borderlands 3," and also receive the 3-month Xbox Game Pass. The Radeon VII, Radeon RX Vega series, and Radeon RX 560 stocks include 3-month Xbox Game Pass. You also get to choose either of the two games when you buy a qualifying pre-built desktop or notebook powered by AMD Ryzen or Radeon products.

A Navi card that could go toe to toe with the 2080ti.
We don't need free games to play make better GPUs ,wtaf it's a promotion to push parts into hand's does it really need Bs ,yeah make a ti comments?
Take those green lense the f off.
They made this promotion too complicated though.
if that was division 2,resident evil and strange brigade like they bundled with rx590 the 3800x would be on the way already.
it's not so even with those three I can't justify the premium over 3700x,it's 3% faster for 12% more power and 20% higher price for god's sake,no wonder they're throwing in games.
for 3900x it's another story,that cpu is worth it even with no bundle.
Even more so, when stuff gets given for free, you know the original deal was a ripoff to begin with, and the ripoff failed. 'Free' is like steroids for lacking purchases. Here on TPU, we're used to looking under the actual hood to see how it really works. This topic and the complaints are exactly that.
Get used to it :)
Oh and one more thing to correct here. Free stuff you never asked for isn't free stuff, its extra stuff. If you really have to sell your GPUs based on the value of a game bundle, I'd say that's going pretty low. Not a sign of competitive product. So yeah, I totally get the 2080ti comment made earlier, because its bang on the money in this context.Like this, see.
outer worlds looks like any generic "exploration shooter" game they're releasing now
borderlands is just weird
the former bundle was a thousand times better
division 2 is a really fun shooter.not the best,but for those who love grinding,nice locations and beautiful looks paired with good mechanics it's at least 100 hrs of good entertainment.
resident evil is AAA in capital letters
strange brigade looks like lots of fun too
I almost bought a rx590 just to get the games and sell it new,open box.and I regret not doing that.
And with a 3600X you get one game, except the 3600X already costs as much as the 3600+a game at retail price.
And I wasn't complaining, I was just pointing out this deal is not across the board, it is just trying to move some of the more expensive parts. Make of that what you wish.
I am not exactly sure what they were thinking with the 3800x. I also wonder if a 3900 is incoming for those chips that can't clock well....which seems like a high percentage. There naming structure really makes segmenting out lower performing chips difficult.V64 can be found new for half the price. Depending on locale. But the VII fairs much better at the higher resolutions and if you need frames then you need frames.
he will be pissed if i tell him.
