Claiming Battlefield 6 - free game

Banzai_Joe · Thursday at 15:57

Hi all,
I did search for what i've put in the title but it came up with stuff to do with the war in Ukraine!!!
I recently bought an i7-14700k and it comes with Battlefield 6 for free. I know its not released yet but how do i claim the game?
I've messaged OCUK but they state they may take up to a wee-wee-taking 10 days to reply, which is just......bonkers really. I've also requested my invoice on email as they say it will be detailed on there.....but again, 10 days!??!

Anyway TIA for any advice offered.

From a google, it looks like you redeem it here once you're given a code by the seller.

Intel | Software Advantage Program

softwareoffer.intel.com

Use the link above, if it's like the AC: shadows one Intel did at the start of the year you won't get your code / cd key to redeem until launch.

So they'll automatically send a code to the email address used to make the i7 purchase from OCUK?

Yes you should get your code tomorrow I believe.

I suspect when you register on that website above it'll give you an EA code.

yeah, i was a little impatient. Had to create an account on the intel page, add the code from the invoice. Answer a mandatory questionnaire, then got the game code, added that to my EA account. Game is now downloading at 108MB/s

Just out of curiosity, did it check you had the Intel part installed?

it did yes. Had to dl and run a small executable for it to check.
