You can get Alan Wake 2 for free, but you have to buy an Nvidia 4000 GPU

So...not free, then?

Alan Wake 2 is almost upon us. After 13 years, fans will soon experience the sequel to the cult horror Xbox 360 hit. If you’re excited about the game, would you be interested in a free copy? Let me rephrase: would you be interested in a free copy if you’re already purchasing a new graphics card?

That’s what Nvidia is currently offering, at least. If you’re in the market for some current-gen graphical firepower, and you want some survival horror goodness to go with it, you can get Alan Wake 2 free with purchases of select GPUs.

According to the Nvidia website, you’ll be eligible if you buy an RTX 4070, 4070 Ti, 4080, and 4090 (if you feel like splashing out). It’s not just PCs, either. A laptop powered by the mobile versions of the 4070, 4080, and 4090 graphics chips also qualify.

T’s and C’s apply

Nvidia is offering this bundle until November 13, so you have a couple of weeks after the game comes out to take advantage of it. Of course, not everyone can afford brand-new hardware right now, but if you are looking to upgrade, this might be an enticing offer. Do check the site for full terms and conditions, though.

Alan Wake 2 is also one of the few games that features version 3.5 of Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling tech. As such, it kind of makes sense that Team Green would want to partner with developer Remedy Entertainment.

As for the game itself, we’re fast approaching spooky season, so horror is going to be everywhere by the time Halloween rolls around. Fans of the original are no doubt looking forward to the much-anticipated sequel. Hell, even I’m keen to check it out, and I wasn’t a huge fan of Alan Wake to begin with.
