AMD Updates its "Raise the Game" Bundle, Leaves out RX 5600 XT, Bolsters RX 5500 XT
AMD introduced the latest edition of the "Raise the Game" bundle, which goes live in February. The mid-range Radeon RX 5500 XT is bolstered with a windfall of games and services. New purchases of RX 5500 XT graphics cards from participating retailers receive "Resident Evil 3," "Ghost Recon Breakpoint," and "Warcraft 3: Reforged," in addition to 3 months of Xbox Game Pass for PC. Buyers of performance-segment RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT cards purchasing from participating retailers, from February 4 till April 25 (with game redemptions ending on May 25), receive "Resident Evil 3" and "Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Master Edition." Buyers of the RX 560, RX 570, RX 580, RX 590, RX Vega series, Radeon VII, RX 5500 XT, and RX 5700 series receive Xbox Game Pass for PC. Curiously, RX 5600 XT is excluded from the game bundle.

Weird.
It just says it verifies qualifying hardware but why does it need such low level access. It's kind of curious, and I can't find much. I mean you already need codes you can only get with hardware purchase.
I am really hoping for a lateral solution by the budget constrained AMD that will be nothing short of a total consumer victory.
Im staring to feel i should have gone with a 5700 instead...
I don't blame you, the freebies on the 5700 if of value to you do make a compelling argument.
Any model I can possibly get my hands on is 200+€ and this is way way expensive to get over the RX570 I currently have in there, even considering the games I would want.
That dream did not materialise. I have still recommended RX 570s to prospective buyers of budget 1080p cards to this day (the 8GB model). All of them have been extremely happy with their < £120 purchase. Oh well, I can hope I guess, for when the refresh comes this year, that we can see little RX 5500 XT truly step into the legendary shoes of the RX 570.
We are buying mid range GC's for the price of full consoles I guess...
Damn that RE3 Remake would of been nice. :(
Here in Hungary the cheapest RX 5500 XT 8GB models go for around 237-240EUR if you are getting them at a decent e-tail / retail chain.
The RX 5600 XT is almost 60% faster for a 27-30% price hike, was a no brainer really.
