You can get the upcoming games Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and Unknown 9: Awakening for free if you buy just about any AMD Radeon 7000 graphics card or AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU right now. While Unknown 9: Awakening doesnβt have a price yet, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 alone is a $55 game, making this a great-value deal if youβre thinking of buying the latest 40k hack and slash.
Both AMD and Nvidia regularly offer a range of new games for free withΒ their best graphics card offerings, but this is one of the most broad-ranging offers weβve ever seen. You canΒ now getΒ these games free with GPUs as cheap as the RX 7600 XT and CPUs as lowly as the Ryzen 7 7700. If your system is in need of an upgrade, and youβve get less than $300 to spend, a free $55 game offers some great extra value.
Even buyers of new laptops can get in on the fun, with AMD-equipped laptops using both a Ryzen 7000-series CPU and GPU eligible for the offer. Notably, no current-gen CPUs are included in the offer, though, such as AMDβs new 8000-series desktop APUs or Ryzen AI 300 laptop CPUs, which is a bit of a shame.

An interesting quirk of this offer β the full details of which can be found here β is that while it offers great value on paper, currently both games arenβt yet available, with theΒ Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 release dateΒ being September 9, 2024, and theΒ Unknown 9: Awakening release date having not even been announced yet, though itβs penciled in for 2024.
Moreover, the games will have to be claimed byΒ November 2, 2024, so thereβs potentially only a small window for you to claimΒ Unknown 9: Awakening. Nonetheless, this remains a great offer,Β and you can get a good taster of how the new 40k gameΒ looks in our Space Marine 2 preview.
Whatβs more, AMD has pointed out that you can in fact take advantage of both this free game offer and itβs previous free game offer, which could get you the likes of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Starfield, Lies of P, and Company of Heroes 3.Β You can read more about the previous free AMD gameΒ offer here.
As for which AMD product is the best to buyΒ now? Obviously that will depend on your budget, but our outright best gaming CPUΒ choice right now is the Ryzen 7800X3D, while the RX 7900 GRE is a great mid-range GPU offering.
