Hold onto your hats folks because a CPU bundle has been spotted on Newegg. In light of this exciting news we’re covering how to get Starfield for free with AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs.
We all know by now that Starfield is going to be a CPU intensive game. Those looking to upgrade their CPU ahead of the launch may want to consider AMD and Bethesda’s CPU bundle.
