Really, though, it’s clear that Nvidia’s building out an ecosystem that reaches beyond just graphics cards, and GFE (or more accurately, the Nvidia Account used to log into it) is the tie that binds it all together. And when GeForce Experience 3.0 launched with registration, we speculated that the extra identity layer might lay the foundation for future in-app giveaways just like this. Nvidia first dabbled with using GFE to hand out games when it gave a free copy of Witcher 3 to Titan X owners two years ago. That may rankle gamers who don’t want to use Nvidia’s optional software, or aren’t happy about how GeForce Experience requires mandatory registration these days. The only way to obtain your free game will be by redeeming it with GeForce Experience. Once you enter the provided code into GFE, the game you choose will automatically be added to your Uplay account, Nvidia says. Instead, Nvidia’s handling the giveaway directly inside of its GeForce Experience software. (Click to enlarge to full size.)

The games don’t release until February 14 and March 7, respectively.
It feels a lot like Just Cause, actually. For Honor’s a new Ubisoft franchise that pits samurai, Vikings, and other warriors against each other in fierce (yet surprisingly delicate) melee combat, while the latest Ghost Recon game tasks you with disrupting drug dealers in an open-world recreation of Bolivia with up to three pals. If you buy a GeForce GTX 1080, GeForce GTX 1070, or a laptop that includes the mobile version of either of those graphics cards, you can choose to snag either For Honor or Ghost Recon Wildlands for free. Now it’s time for Ubisoft’s upcoming heavy hitters to get their moment in the spotlight-and, more crucially, for Nvidia to kick off the next stage of GeForce Experience’s evolution. Nvidia has a long history of joining forces with Ubisoft to bundle AAA games like Assassin’s Creed, The Division, Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, and Far Cry free with the purchase of high-end GeForce graphics cards.
