What you need to know
Starfieldis an upcoming sci-fi RPG created by the award-winning studio Bethesda Softworks—the creators of titles such asSkyrim,Fallout, and other legendary games. Not only is it their first new IP in over 25 years, but it’s shaping up to be the biggest Xbox title of the year.
Earlier, it was discovered on Newegg byvideocardzthat AMDRyzenCPUs would be bundled in the future with copies of Starfield. As of now, AMD bundles Star Wars: Jedi Survivor with their Ryzen 7000 CPUs and the Resident Evil IV remake with their Radeon 7000 GPUs.
You can check them yourself on the"AMD Starfield Game Bundle Promotion Store"or look over the following CPUs to see what will be eligible for the promotion:
-Starfield PC specs: Recommended, Minimum, and Ultra system requirements
-AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and 7950X review: The most powerful Ryzen processors to date
-Starfield will have space magic, it seems. How far will its powers go?
This find comes shortly after the partnership, which was announcedlast week, detailing the relationship between Bethesda Softworks and AMD. This collaboration looks to bring AMD features to the game, which includes FSR 2.0 for upscaling on PC and Xbox. Some fans haven’t been happy with the partnership, however, owing to the fact it will likely exclude NVIDIA’s own upscaling tech from Starfield on PC.
On AMD’s site, they express, “AMD is proud to announce that we are Bethesda’s exclusive PC partner for the next-generation role-playing game, Starfield. Watch this special announcement video to learn how AMD and Bethesda are working together to bring the galaxy to all players this September.”
If you want to pick up a copy of Starfield and upgrade your CPU simultaneously, this bundle sounds perfect. Whatever the case, I know I can’t wait until September when Starfield launches exclusively on Xbox and PC on September 6th.
