AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs that are eligible for the freebie include the Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X, or Ryzen 7 5800X. Unfortunately, buyers of AMD's mid-range Ryzen 5 5600X won't be eligible for a copy of Far Cry 6 for free.
Far Cry 6 becomes available on February 18th of next year. Those who will purchase the said chips, whether standalone or as a bundled system, can get a free copy of the game via digital download. Aside from the free game, they'll also get in-game bonuses like skins and other items.
AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs: What has changed?
The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is the first among the latest AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs that the company showed off during the recently held official launch of the latest-gen Ryzen lineup. The 5900X is a top-tier processor that has 12 cores and 24 threads. And it also comes with a max boost of 4.8GHz. Given its beefy specs, it will have a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 105W. Once it launches on November 5, it will have a price tag of $549.
For gamers, the company claims that there will be an average of 26% in performance improvement for 1080p gaming. This is in comparison with the AMD Ryzen 3900XT.

AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs will take advantage of the company's latest Zen 3 architecture.
But AMD still wasn't done yet. It then revealed the epic AMD Ryzen 9 5950X. It's a 16-core, 32 thread CPU. Aside from having a 4.9GHz boost, it packs 72 MB L2+L3 cache. With a TDP rating of 105W, it will be priced at $799. There will also be an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and a 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.
The Zen 3 architecture is based on a 7nm+ manufacturing process. This will significantly put a dent on Intel if Team Blue still prefers to stay on a 14nm architecture on desktop.
The company further says that the 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X possesses "the highest single-thread performance of any desktop gaming processor." When it comes to multi-core processing, AMD mentions that the 5950X has the "most multi-core performance of any desktop gaming processor and any desktop processor in a mainstream CPU socket."
