Intel launches new Holiday Game Bundle for Core Ultra 200 CPUs and Arc GPUs featuring up to Battlefield 6 Phantom and AC: Shadows

Intel launches Holiday Bundle in two tiers, both include Battlefield 6

Intel has updated its game bundle promotion

Following the end of the Game Days offer in late October, Intel has introduced a new promotion. “Introduced” might be a bit of an overstatement, though, since Intel hasn’t officially announced anything. We actually found this while browsing Newegg, where new game bundles were listed for certain laptops. The previous promo only included Battlefield 6, and now there’s even an option for the Battlefield 6 Phantom Edition but that’s not all.

Standard Offer

First things first, there are two tiers of this bundle: the Standard and the Platinum offer. The Standard is basically the same as before but no longer applies to Raptor Lake CPUs. It’s now limited to Core Ultra 200 series processors and Intel Arc Alchemist or Battlemage desktop and laptop graphics.

This bundle gives you four games, but you can only choose one:

Assassin’s Creed® Shadows (Full Download ARV: US$69.99)
Battlefield™ 6 (Full Download ARV: US$69.99)
Dying Light: The Beast (Full Download ARV: US$59.99)
Sid Meier’s Civilization® VII (Full Download ARV: US$69.99)

Standard Bundle

Additonally, you have software that comes as a bundle (no need to choose):

Canvid (Subscription ARV: US$45.00)
VEGAS Pro 23 (Subscription ARV: US$19.99)
XSplit Premium Suite (Subscription ARV: US$60.00)
Cephable™ Plus (Subscription ARV: US$0.00)
Marvel Rivals (In-Game Content ARV: US$0.00)

The total value of Standard Holiday offer is US$184.98+

Platinum/Premium Offer

The Platinum offer only includes Core Ultra 200 CPUs from the H and HX series, so it’s limited to laptops from several brands: Lenovo, ASUS, MSI, HP and Monster. It is available only through select retailers. From what I understand, the limitation comes more from the retailers than the offer itself, some may provide the Standard bundle, while others will give you the Platinum tier.

Premium Bundle

Intel® Core™ Products that qualify to receive the Intel® Holiday Platinum Offer when purchased in a country listed below from their corresponding participating retailers or OEMs.
Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 processor 235HX, Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 processor 225H, Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 processor 245HX, Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 processor 235H, Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 255HX, Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 255H, Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 265HX, Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 265H, Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor 275HX, Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor 285H, Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor 285HX

So what you actually get is:

Battlefield™ 6 Phantom Edition (Full Download Details ARV: $99.99)
Assassin’s Creed® Shadows Digital Deluxe Edition (Full Download Details ARV: $109.99)
Dying Light: The Beast (Full Download ARV: US$59.99)
Sid Meier’s Civilization® VII (Full Download ARV: US$69.99)

The difference lies in the game editions (Deluxe/Phantom) and the selection options. In the standard offer, you must choose one out of four games. Here, you get Battlefield and Assassin’s Creed without needing to choose, plus an additional choice between DL: The Beast and Civilization VI. In total, you get three games. You also get the same Software bundle as Standard Edition.

I’m not sure why this offer isn’t listed, but I hope this gives you some options to consider. For example, here’s an RTX 5080 laptop deal from MSI — the Vector model comes with two bundles: the Intel Premium bundle (three games) and the NVIDIA bundle (one game). Clicking the image will take you to the Newegg page.

The promotion started today and will last until January 31, 2026. You can redeem your code until March 15 2026.
