Intel Gamer Days 2026 Kicking Off with AAA Gaming Bundle & Partnerships
Intel’s Gamer Days 2026 campaign launches August 10 with a retail bundle offering free digital copies of two upcoming games with qualifying Intel hardware purchases.
Intel has announced the start of its annual Gamer Days campaign, running from August 10 to September 13, featuring a retail bundle that includes digital copies of *Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis* and *STAR WARS: Galactic Racer* with qualifying purchases of Intel Core, Core Ultra, or Arc Graphics products. The promotion is available through participating retail and OEM partners, with redemption required by October 31, 2026. The bundle aims to incentivize hardware upgrades ahead of the games’ launch dates.
Intel will serve as the official launch partner for both titles, with *STAR WARS: Galactic Racer* releasing on October 6, 2026, and *Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis* on February 12, 2027. The collaboration includes integration of XeSS 3 technologies such as Super Resolution, Multi-frame Generation, and Low Latency to optimize performance on Intel-powered systems. Developers Fuse Games and Crystal Dynamics highlighted the technical collaboration to ensure smooth gameplay and high visual fidelity.
In addition to the retail bundle, Intel Gaming Access is hosting a Collector’s Edition giveaway for both games, running from August 10 to September 10. Winners will receive digital copies of the titles upon their respective release dates. The campaign also includes promotions and content collaborations with participating partners, though specific details were not disclosed in the announcement.
The promotion is limited to select Intel Arc graphics configurations and requires system enablement from OEMs or retailers. Intel noted that XeSS is an AI-enhanced upscaling technology designed to improve performance while maintaining image quality, though performance outcomes may vary based on hardware and configuration.
