For buyers of high-end AMD products, this bundle represents a rare opportunity to secure a premium game at no additional cost. However, the promotion is time-sensitive, with codes expiring on May 23, so eligible purchases should be made before April 25 to qualify.
The game’s system requirements are demanding but well within the capabilities of mid-to-high-end PCs

- Recommended: Ryzen 5 5600 / i5-11600K, 16GB RAM, RX 6700 XT / RTX 2080, 135GB SSD
An SSD is required for optimal performance.
