Samsung Electronics America, Inc. announced an exclusive collaboration with Ubisoft, offering a free PC download of Watch_Dogs 2 with the purchase of qualifying Samsung solid state drives (SSDs) and its newest Curved Gaming Monitors. The partnership delivers gamers an incredible package for high-level gameplay.

"Samsung is dedicated to providing best-in-class technology to gamers, so we're excited to offer Ubisoft's highly anticipated Watch_Dogs 2 as an added value with our industry-leading SSDs and monitors," said Andrew Sivori, Vice President of CE-IT Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. "Our high-performance SSDs and stunning new monitors deliver an enhanced gaming experience, providing exceptional visuals and lag-free gameplay."



The newest installment in the blockbuster Watch_Dogs franchise, Watch_Dogs 2, centers on Marcus Holloway, a brilliant hacker from the San Francisco Bay Area. As part of the notorious Dedsec hacker group, Holloway is on a mission to expose the dangers of ctOS 2.0, which is being used to monitor and manipulate citizens on a massive scale. With incredible visual representations of the San Francisco Bay Area, intuitive controls and a brand new seamless multiplayer experience, Watch_Dogs 2 focuses on giving freedom back to who it belongs: the people.

"This exclusive bundle allows gamers to truly immerse themselves in one of the most anticipated titles of the year," said Tony Key, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales, Ubisoft. "With the option of a Samsung SSD or Curved Gaming Monitor, consumers can enhance their Watch_Dogs 2 gameplay experience with faster load times, seamless graphics and incredible user interface elements."

Samsung SSDs Boost Performance and Reduce Load Times
With Samsung's proprietary V-NAND flash memory technology, Samsung SSDs offer high capacities, blazing-fast speeds and exceptional reliability. SSDs achieve significantly higher data transfer speeds compared to hard disk drives (HDDs) and as a result, gamers experience a reduction in load times and fewer game lags, so gamers spend more time playing and less time waiting. The power efficiency and high endurance of Samsung SSDs ensure smooth and continuous performance during game play. Samsung offers a variety of SSDs in different form factors and capacities to fit any gamer's storage needs.

Quantum Dot-Enabled Curved Gaming Monitors Provide Stunning Visual Experience
The integration of quantum dot technology enables the CFG70 (available in 24 and 27 inch) and CF791(34-inch) Curved Gaming Monitors to display an incredible range of vivid and crisp colors, providing greater depth to blacks, sharpening color intricacies and increasing the nuances of game play. Both monitors leverage AMD FreeSync Technology over HDMI to synchronize screen refresh rates with users' AMD graphics cards. This compatibility reduces input latency, stutter and lag to produce a uniform full-screen game display. Furthermore, each monitor features an exceptional curvature (1,500R for the CF791 and 1,800R for the CFG70), which envelops users to create the feeling that they're part of the game.

The Watch_Dogs 2 PC download code is available with purchase of the following Samsung products:
  • 960 PRO SSD (512GB, 1TB, 2TB)
  • 960 EVO SSD (500GB, 1TB)
  • 850 PRO SSD (512GB, 1TB, 2TB)
  • 850 EVO SSD (500GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB)
  • 850 EVO M.2 SSD (500GB, 1TB)
  • 850 EVO mSATA SSD (500GB, 1TB)
  • Portable SSD T3 (500GB, 1TB, 2TB)
  • Samsung CFG70 Curved Gaming Monitor (24-inch)
  • Samsung CFG70 Curved Gaming Monitor (27-inch)
  • Samsung CF791 Curved Monitor (34-inch)
The bundle promotion is now available at select retailers through December 31st, 2016 or while supplies last. Watch_Dogs 2 officially launches worldwide on November 15, 2016.

That's ... that's actually pretty good. The cheapest drives go from about €130, and the game is €45.

Maybe you need to make it Clear if this download is Available for
1. Drives on their own ?.
2. Monitors on their own ?.
3. You have to buy both as a pair to qualify for Free download !!!.

way its worded is ambiguous
People will be pissed off if they buy just the drive(s) ( and think they get the Game and then find out they do not Qualify Because you did not Buy monitor at same time. :(
Same Deal with Buying Monitor and Expecting Free Game only to find out you got to buy a drive as well :(

It's also not clear if this is a stand alone download, or you have to register online with Steam, Origin, Ubisoft etc to be able to play it.

BTA, can you digg a little and tell us how exactly is this working? Actually I am planning to buy an SSD by the end of this month from Amazon, but how will I know they will send also the download code for the game?? Or how is the procedure?

P.S.

Too bad they don't offer this for 750 EVO drives too...

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

Actually just found out is for U.S. only, so no need any more info. Thanks!

You haven't played Mafia III yet, if you think WD1 was boring... :)))

This would imply availability of half of that, 960 Pro's and CF791 are MIA from what I can tell.

BTA forgot to mention one very unimportant little detail:

"Purchases also have to be made from an authorized dealer. The list is pretty extensive and includes the likes of Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and many others. It's also only open to U.S. residents."

Buy any one item from the list of products in that press-release, and get a Watch_Dogs2 key.
