Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Star Wars Galactic Racer headline Intel’s Gamer Days freebie promos, but we’re still waiting on some stores
Developed over time first seen 3 months ago
Intel launched its 2026 Gamer Days retail promotion on 10 August, offering digital copies of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Star Wars: Galactic Racer with selected purchases of Intel Core, Core Ultra and Arc products from participating sellers. The campaign purchase window was scheduled to run until 13 September, although individual sellers could set narrower periods. Intel listed the games’ combined average retail value as US$119.98, and said buyers would need to redeem the offer by 31 October 2026. The downloads themselves would become available at the respective releases: 6 October 2026 for Star Wars: Galactic Racer and 12 February 2027 for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis.
GamesRadar+ reported that, at publication, the bundle was visibly advertised by Amazon, Newegg and for a limited selection of Micro Center products, while Best Buy and gaming-laptop manufacturers had not yet displayed it. That meant eligibility depended on the specific retailer and product, rather than on buying any broadly compatible Intel-powered device. Intel’s terms also required a purchase from a participating seller, account verification and, depending on the retailer, a promotional key or purchase-verification process that could include a hardware scan and proof of purchase. Alongside the sales bundle, Intel announced collector’s-edition giveaways and said both games would support its XeSS 3 features at launch as part of its partnerships with their developers.

Explained simply
Intel’s Gamer Days is a limited-time promotion tied to purchases of selected Intel processors and graphics products. The games are digital rewards, but eligibility depends on the specific product and retailer taking part; an Intel-powered computer on its own does not necessarily qualify.
Intel runs the promotion with participating retailers, while the game publishers make the titles available for download when they are released. Buyers may need to verify their purchase and redeem a promotional code before the offer’s deadline. The scheme matters to shoppers comparing hardware deals, as the games’ advertised value and the rules for claiming them can affect what a purchase includes.
