SUNNYVALE, Calif. — April 21, 2014 — AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announ­ced a refresh of “Never Sett­le Fore­ver”, the popu­lar game bund­le pro­gram for AMD Rade­on™ pro­ducts. Start­ing today, the “Never Sett­le Fore­ver” pro­mo­ti­on will be available to a wider ran­ge of AMD Rade­on™ gra­phics cards, span­ning the R7 Series gra­phics to the ultra-enthu­si­ast AMD Rade­on™ R9 295X2 gra­phics card.  For the first time ever, the “Never Sett­le Fore­ver” pro­gram will be rol­led out to AMD’s ent­ry-level gra­phics pro­ducts: the AMD Rade­on™ R7 250X, R7 250 and R7 240 GPUs.

AMD’s “Never Sett­le Fore­ver” is dedi­ca­ted to let­ting gamers sel­ect from a strong line-up of in-demand games as a reward for choo­sing AMD Rade­on™ gra­phics. Users will recei­ve up to three choices of free games when they rede­em their AMD Rade­on™ Reward cou­pon. The actu­al num­ber of available choices will vary by Rewards tier: Gold, Sil­ver or Bronze.

“We’re hap­py to intro­du­ce this next chap­ter for our high­ly suc­cessful ‘Never Sett­le Fore­ver’ pro­gram, deli­ve­ring on the pro­mi­se we made a year ago with our Uni­fied Gam­ing Stra­tegy,” said Matt Skyn­ner, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Gra­phics Busi­ness Unit, AMD. “AMD’s unri­va­led gra­phics tech­no­lo­gy, com­bi­ned with our ever-gro­wing game deve­lo­per part­ner­ships, demons­tra­tes that we are lea­ding and sha­ping the gam­ing industry.”

Squa­re Enix’s upco­ming title, “Mur­de­red: Soul Suspect™”, will be available in the Rade­on Gold and Sil­ver Rewards of “Never Sett­le Fore­ver” for the first time. Opti­mi­zed for the Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re, gamers can secu­re an ear­ly code for the game that may be rede­e­med when the title laun­ches in June 2014.

“With ‘Mur­de­red: Soul Suspect’, we’re loo­king for­ward to con­ti­nuing the tra­di­ti­on of col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween Squa­re Enix and AMD,” said Nao­to Sugi­ya­ma, exe­cu­ti­ve pro­du­cer, “Mur­de­red: Soul Suspect”. “We’re dedi­ca­ted to brin­ging world-class expe­ri­en­ces for PC gamers and look for­ward to the launch of our game in AMD’s ‘Never Sett­le Fore­ver’ program.”

For the first time ever, AMD is also plea­sed to announ­ce the inclu­si­on of PC titles from inde­pen­dent game deve­lo­pers to the “Never Sett­le Fore­ver” pro­gram as one of the redemp­ti­on opti­ons. Bund­led in sets as an “indie pack,” gamers may choo­se one indie pack con­sis­ting of two indie titles as one of their game sel­ec­tion choices. The ros­t­er of titles includes:

• “Guaca­me­lee!”, deve­lo­ped and published by Drink­box Studios

“Our acclai­med titles are gai­ning serious momen­tum among gamers of all ages,” said Gra­ham Smith, co-foun­der, Drink­box Stu­di­os. “The intro­duc­tion of indie packs to ‘Never Sett­le Fore­ver’ is a gre­at col­la­bo­ra­ti­on for AMD and Drink­box Stu­di­os as ent­ry-level AMD Rade­on gra­phics cards can pro­vi­de solid per­for­mance in both of our popu­lar games.”
