If you’ve been eyeing a Razer Blade upgrade and you’re even remotely into survival horror, this is one of those “ok, this actually makes sense” moments: Razer is bundling the new Resident Evil Requiem PC game for free when you buy select Blade laptops powered by NVIDIA’s latest GeForce RTX 50‑series GPUs, but only for a limited time and only on specific configs.

At a high level, the deal is simple: buy a qualifying Razer Blade with an RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti or 5070 laptop GPU from Razer, and you get a digital code for Resident Evil Requiem at no extra cost, with one code per person. The promo is live now and runs until March 3, 2026 (PST), with codes needing to be redeemed by April 16, 2026, at 23:59 PT, and stock is explicitly “while supplies last,” so this isn’t something you can sit on forever. It’s also tied to purchases on Razer’s own store and can’t be combined with other offers, so don’t expect to stack this with heavy couponing or third‑party retailer discounts.

What makes this bundle genuinely interesting is that Resident Evil Requiem is built to show off exactly what these RTX 50‑series Blades can do. Capcom’s latest entry leans hard into modern rendering tech: on PC, it supports full path tracing, AI‑powered DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and advanced ray‑traced lighting, all of which are specifically optimized for NVIDIA’s 50‑series architecture. That means you’re not just getting a “free game,” you’re getting a showcase title that can actually push a Blade 16 or Blade 18 with an RTX 5090 in ways most older games simply can’t.

If you haven’t kept up with the series, Requiem is being treated as one of Capcom’s most important Resident Evil releases in years, pairing classic survival‑horror pacing and resource management with a new storyline that alternates between FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and returning fan‑favorite Leon S. Kennedy. Reviews so far call out the way it walks a line between nostalgia and reboot, and on PC, it has already earned praise for its visual fidelity and atmosphere when all the path‑traced effects and DLSS 4 features are turned on. In other words, this isn’t a throwaway bundle filler – it’s a flagship title that will very clearly show you what you paid for in that GPU line item.

On the hardware side, the qualifying Razer Blade models are very much in “no compromises” territory. The current Blade 14 gives you a 3K 120 Hz OLED panel paired with an RTX 5070 laptop GPU, starting around $2,699.99 on Razer’s site, which is a pretty sweet spot if you want something genuinely portable that can still chew through modern AAA titles at high settings. Step up to the Blade 16 and you’re looking at a QHD+ 240 Hz OLED display and RTX 5070 options in the $2,799.99 range, which makes more sense if you want a higher refresh, larger canvas for both gaming and content work. At the top of the stack sits the Blade 18, with its wild dual‑mode 18‑inch panel (UHD+ 240 Hz or FHD+ 440 Hz) and up to an RTX 5090 laptop GPU, with configurations that start around $3,499.99 for an RTX 5070 Ti and climb past $4,899.99 once you spec in the RTX 5090.

Those big‑boy Blade 18 configs aren’t just about frame‑rate flexing, either. The RTX 5090 laptop GPU in Razer’s chassis is configured for up to 150W sustained TGP and can boost up to 175W with NVIDIA Dynamic Boost, which is exactly the kind of thermal and power headroom you need to make path‑traced games like Requiem feel playable rather than like tech demos you only turn on for screenshots. Benchmarks from independent testing on the Blade 18 with comparable heavy titles show it leading the pack in ray‑traced scenarios at 1080p and still holding up respectably at 4K, so using Requiem as your “first install” makes sense if you want to validate that spend.

From a pure value perspective, the math is pretty straightforward. A new AAA Resident Evil release on PC typically launches in the $60 to $70 bracket, sometimes more if you consider deluxe editions or regional pricing. Getting that bundled in doesn’t suddenly make a $3,000+ laptop “cheap,” but in a category where discounts are usually modest and Razer rarely does deep cuts on brand‑new models, a day‑one or near‑launch AAA thrown in is one of the better sweeteners you’ll see. This becomes especially compelling if you were already planning to jump on an RTX 50‑series Blade for work or content creation and just needed an excuse from the gaming side of your brain.

There are a few fine‑print bits worth paying attention to before you smash the buy button. The promo is limited to select RTX 50‑series Blade laptops (specifically those with RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 laptop GPUs), and each eligible product purchased yields one Requiem code, but Razer and NVIDIA cap it at one code per person overall. You need to make the purchase before March 3, 2026 (PST), and then redeem the code through NVIDIA’s redemption portal before April 16, 2026; otherwise, the entitlement simply expires. Razer also reserves the right to cancel bulk orders and to pull or amend the promo, and availability is explicitly tied to stock, so once the allocated codes or units are gone, that’s it.

If you do go for it, the general flow is: buy a qualifying Blade from Razer, receive your Resident Evil Requiem bundle code, then follow NVIDIA’s redemption instructions via their GeForce campaign page or NVIDIA App to add the game to your library on your chosen platform (usually Steam for PC). It’s worth redeeming sooner rather than later just to avoid any last‑minute server issues or forgotten emails—especially with a hard cutoff date already published.

So, who is this bundle actually good for? If you’re coming from a 3–4‑year‑old gaming laptop or older desktop GPU and were already flirting with the idea of going all‑in on an RTX 50‑series machine, this is a neat way to both future‑proof your setup and get a flagship horror game that’s tailored to show off the hardware. On the other hand, if you’re on a relatively recent RTX 40‑series rig that’s still holding up fine, this probably isn’t enough reason on its own to justify a multi‑thousand‑dollar jump—you might be better off just buying Requiem outright and waiting for a bigger generational leap in a few years.

Bottom line: as far as launch‑window game bundles go, this one actually lines up nicely with the kind of buyer Razer is targeting. You’re paying a premium for slim‑and‑clean industrial design, color‑accurate high‑refresh OLED or dual‑mode displays, and top‑tier mobile GPUs, and Resident Evil Requiem slots in perfectly as the “first install” that lets you test everything from DLSS 4 to path‑traced lighting on day one. If a new Blade 14, 16, or 18 was already on your 2026 upgrade list, grabbing it before the March 3 deadline and locking in a free trip back to Raccoon City feels like an easy win.
