Starfield players find way to get two free download codes of the game in one purchase

A number of PC gamers have worked out it's possible to grab two free download codes for Starfield in one purchase. Quite what anyone would need with two free codes is beyond me, but I'm sure you could work something out.

Starfield is set to launch in early access on Xbox Series X/S and PC on September 1, which is frighteningly close and is causing reviewers and guides writers around the world to wake up in a cold sweat screaming. Still, for everyone else it's a terribly exciting time - as it should be.

Take a look at Starfield in all its glory below!

Given that Starfield is not coming to PlayStation 5 (despite how hard some fans might campaign for it), there's been an influx of gamers looking to make the jump to Xbox or PC just so they can play Bethesda's new open-world RPG. Fortunately there are plenty of hardware bundles to choose from, many of which come with free codes for Starfield.

One of the best deals currently going comes via AMD, who have an exclusive partnership with Bethesda. Essentially, you can bag yourself a free copy of Starfield with select AMD Ryzen processors, AMD Radeon graphics cards, or a gaming system that contains both.

As one particularly savvy gamer quickly realised on r/starfield, if you pick up both a CPU and GPU you'll get sent two codes - one for each piece of hardware.

"Can confirm if you purchase both a CPU and GPU mentioned in the promo you will get two codes for Starfield," Reddit user Dave2015 wrote alongside proof of his purchase. "In my case, 7800X3D and 7900XTX together."

Now, I have absolutely no idea what you'd do with two Starfield codes. If you were particularly business minded I guess you could sell it on and make some of your money back. But you could also consider gifting it to a friend? I don't know, it's your life. All I know is that if you really want two free Starfield codes and a new PC, this is the best (and probably only) way to do it.
