Intel Gamer Days Sale Bundles Star Wars and Tomb Raider with New Hardware

Intel has launched its annual Intel Gamer Days promotion, bundling free copies of the upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis with eligible hardware purchases through September 13, 2026, the company announced. It's the classic retail trade-off: drop a four-figure sum on silicon, and get two digital keys to justify the damage.

Upgrading a PC is usually a lonely, sterile ritual of thermal paste and silent prayers, but the promotion attempts to sweeten the transition. According to Intel, the deal applies to select processors and prebuilt systems, giving builders a head start on their fall libraries. The centerpiece of the bundle is Star Wars: Galactic Racer, which officially launches on October 6, 2026, alongside Lara Croft's next outing.

For those looking to bypass the screwdriver entirely, the promotion features a CyberPowerPC prebuilt desktop equipped with a GeForce RTX 5070 GPU for $1,399. Individual upgraders can grab the Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus CPU, which comes bundled with a free AIO cooler to keep temperatures behaved. It is a pragmatic pitch: if you are going to rebuild the engine anyway, you might as well get some high-end fuel to go with it.

The details

• Promo window: Active now through September 13, 2026
