Barely a couple of weeks off of their previous Death Stranding game bundle, NVIDIA is back with a new game bundle for GeForce RTX cards. Dubbed the Frames Win Games bundle, NVIDIA is now including copies of Rainbow Six Siege: Gold Edition.
Rainbow Six Siege is a more unusual choice for a video card game bundle. The online-focused first person shooter was first launched back in 2015, and in the last several years has been well-received, leading to Ubisoft giving it ongoing support and expansions. The Gold Edition, in turn, includes the base game and much of this expansion content, including the most recent “Year 5” pass. DLC aside, I cannot recall a game that has been out this long ever being bundled with a high-end video card. This also leads into the name of the bundle, alluding to the fact that NVIDIA's RTX cards can easily hit 144fps in the game.

Digging into the bundle itself, as this is a single game bundle, NVIDIA’s deal is pretty straightforward. The company will be including the game with all of their GeForce RTX cards, from the RTX 2060 up to the RTX 2080 Ti. This offer also applies to many desktop and laptop systems including these cards as well, so long as the vendor is a participating NVIDIA partner. Though it bears mentioning that this latest bundle is once again going to be relatively short lived, with the program ending on August 27th.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA is not currently offering any game bundles for its lower-tier cards, the GeForce GTX series.
As always, codes must be redeemed via the GeForce Experience application on a system with a qualifying graphics card installed. More information and details can be found in the terms and conditions. Be sure to verify the participation of any vendors purchased from, as NVIDIA will not give codes for purchases made from non-participating sellers.

Dead game?R6 Seige is near top of the steam charts with over 100K players today and it's not even a native steam game.
If you include non-steam players who just use Ubisoft launcher like me i'm sure it's much higher.

You will still be dead very quickly in that game as a new player. Their matchmaking sucks, plus its crowded with smurfing losers.I tried starting into it 3 years ago, and back then it was bad already. Will take a very determined mind to get anywhere. And IMO its not worth that, because of its consolish gameplay. I would rather dive into CSGO again, or even PUBG. More more satisfying games.

They have skilled based match making, so as a new player, you'd be playing against new players.Surfing is still an issue, but most all online FPS have smurfing issues, so that's not only confined to Siege.
It's still a pretty fun game, there are casual modes which is way less toxic. You can provide all the anecdotal evidence you want, but just because you couldn't get into it doesn't mean other players won't enjoy it.
Lol don't get me started on PUBG...optimized trash

Well, Im not the only one talking about it. Lots of streamers and Youtubers have stopped playing it because of what I just said and you could see it happening in their streams and videos.Their matchmaking sucks. Period.

I too base my understanding of the world on which video games I see videos of on YouTube and then assume reality is such a way absent of Google's adaptation of search results and recommendations algorithms. Its truly the most informed way to live out my life.Plancktonne - Sunday, August 2, 2020 - link
Please don't use PUBG and optimized in one sentence, someone might misunderstand and it harmsthe image of ongoing efforts from the developers to make the worst performing game possible.

I definitely don't see it as a dead game. I don't get the bundle either though. Most people that want the game, have gotten it. Course, most games that end up bundled with an Nvidia card has been an Ubisoft game. The Division, Hawk, Watch Dogs, For Honor, etc. They probably ran out of games from Ubisoft to bundle, that they haven't already bundled before.I wanted Death Stranding for free myself, but my laptop that I just bought wasn't part of the bundle, even though it has an RTX 2070 in it. Guess since it's last year's model, not this years, wasn't part of it.

It beats Death Stranding. My teenager who is a big Metal Gear Solid fan doesn't want me to get within 100 miles of that game.LordSojar - Thursday, July 30, 2020 - link
The gameplay of Death Stranding is odd, but satisfying in some weird way. Maybe we all have the deep desire to be a courier in a hellscape? I dunno.All I know is, you play Death Stranding for its beautiful story and ambiance. You should try it, at least.

It's not a Metal Gear Solid game. It's kind of off doing its own thing, which is refreshing, but still with the quirkiness you expect from its director (and I know it's dangerous to give too much weight to that, but news coverage showed him being quite micro-managey).Arguably a few bits could have done with more editing, if only for length - let's assume we suspend disbelief for some of the more fantastical aspects (I'd say it *is* fantasy, just with some trappings of science fiction).
There is a game there, whether you seek battles or a simpler life delivering packages. But the mix of the twp, and other unorthodox aspects means it is not a game that all will appreciate, and this is arguably a failure of marketing - if you buy one thing and expect another, you are liable to be disappointed. Perhaps it should not have been a AAA game with a AAA budget, and then they would not have had to reach AAA sales.
