Full story
MSI has launched a limited game bundle for selected Claw handhelds. Qualifying buyers can receive one Steam copy of Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters at no additional cost, but the offer is restricted to specific models, purchase dates and regions.
The promotion began on August 28, 2026, alongside the game's release. MSI says codes are available only while supplies last, so buying an eligible handheld does not guarantee that stock will remain until the advertised closing date.
Eligible MSI Claw models
The detailed terms list three qualifying handhelds:
MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM with AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme
MSI Claw 8 AI+ A2VM with Intel Core Ultra 7 258V
MSI Claw 7 AI+ A2VM with Intel Core Ultra 7 258V
Other MSI handhelds and laptops are explicitly excluded. The product must also be bought through an authorized channel in the buyer's eligible home region; imported units and purchases made outside official regional channels do not qualify.
Where the offer is available
MSI limits the bundle to seven regions:
United Kingdom
France
Spain
Poland
Hong Kong
Vietnam
Philippines
The Czech Republic, United States, Germany and other unlisted markets are not included in the published terms. Buyers should not rely on a retailer banner alone—both the purchase location and the participant's region must meet MSI's eligibility rules.
Important dates
MSI's promotion page lists the qualifying purchase period as August 28 through September 30, 2026. The headline timeline shows a redemption period ending October 14, while the detailed terms tell participants to complete registration and redemption by September 30.
Because those two sections are not perfectly aligned, the safest approach is to register immediately after purchase and follow the deadline shown inside the MSI Member Center. MSI says the promotion may close early if its supply of codes is exhausted.
Any issued Steam code must be activated by October 30, 2026.
How to claim the game
Eligible buyers need to:
1Create or sign in to an MSI Member account.
2Register the qualifying Claw through the Captain Tsubasa 2 bundle promotion.
3Upload an invoice showing the MSI model, purchase date and retailer.
4Upload a photo of the product's serial-number label.
5Wait for MSI to review the submission.
6Activate the approved code through Steam before its deadline.
MSI says verification can take up to 14 business days. Incomplete documentation may add another review period, and requested corrections must be supplied within seven days.
The terms allow one code per eligible product and no more than two redemptions per household. Codes cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash. Returning the handheld also withdraws the promotion claim.
What buyers receive
The reward is the PC version of Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters delivered as a Steam code. Bandai Namco describes the arcade football game as featuring 22 national teams, more than 110 playable characters and both single-player and multiplayer modes.
This bundle does not include Deluxe or Ultimate Edition content unless MSI explicitly states otherwise during redemption. The published terms describe the reward simply as one copy of the game.
The practical takeaway
This is a useful launch-day bonus for buyers who were already planning to purchase a Claw A8, Claw 8 AI+ or Claw 7 AI+ in an eligible market. It is not a worldwide pack-in, and older Claw models do not qualify.
Check the precise model number, authorized retailer status and regional eligibility before purchasing specifically for the game. Register promptly rather than treating September 30—or the separate October 14 headline—as guaranteed code availability.
