Microsoft is teaming up with Nvidia to give away free copies of Gears of War 4. If you purchase a GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 as a graphics card, part of a system, or inside a laptop then you'll get a free copy of Gears of War 4. The promotion runs from today until October 30th, and as the game is Xbox Play Anywhere you'll get a copy of the PC version and Xbox One variant for free.

Smart move there was never a big Gears of War community on PC.

@chikenfriedrice: Me too haha! I bought 2 1070s but you can only redeem one of the paragon codes per account. Gears 4 would have been MUCH cooler than some coins to buy skins in a MOBA... Oh well.

Maybe I will.....I bought it on Amazon but the seller I'll have to check.

@GoldenElementXL Yeah Gears 4 for free would have been awesome, I would have waited :P

I had a dyslexic moment and read "Gears of War 4 comes with free Nvidia GTX1070 or GTX1080" and was trying to figure out what region you lived in :-P

@mr_huggles_dog: Can you contact where you bought it from and see if there's anything you can do about it?

Don't know whether it was fixed but there was a glitch on amazon earlier where the codes would be emailed to you before the order was shipped.Basically you could order multiple graphic cards,get the codes and then immediately cancel them essentially getting a free game without buying a graphics card.

So if you are buying codes on ebay or something be wary,these keys might get revoked.

Told you guys you got your cards too early. Nvidia do this every year. Last year we got both MGSV and TW3. Also Batman and MGSV.

FH3 would have been better. How many PC gamers care to jump straight into the 4th iteration of a mostly console franchise?

Which is kind of a shame, since the PC version of Gears 1 is the definitive version, with improved graphics and extra content that the 360 never got.

Well, if they wouldn't give us the middle finger after releasing the first one on PC, then people would actually be interested, i'm sure...

Too bad those cards are very expensive in Canada. Seriously the gtx 1070 can go from $500 or more.
