If you bought a new NVIDIA graphics card within the last few months you received a free game, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but you’ve got to redeem it. I happened to pick up a new GTX 970 a few weeks ago so I went through the process of claiming my coupon code and took screenshots along the way.
First thing you’ll want to have the email with your coupon code open and copied. I bought my NVIDIA card from Newegg so my email was titled “Newegg – Digital Product Delivery” with “Below is your coupon code. Please keep a copy for your records.” but yours might be different depending on where you bought your GPU.
Now head over to NVIDIA Redemption Portal at https://redeem.geforce.com/ and select your region.
