Looks like AMD will bundle GTA-V and DiRT Rally with Radeon 200 cards

Interesting, it looks like AMD might soon add two new games to their game bundle, this has not been confirmed by AMD. But if you check this NewEgg link you will notice that a Radeon R9 290X graphics card on has GTA V and DiRT Rally available as free gifts on the main page of the listing.

Now we browsed a little and most Radeon 290X cards from all brands already have this added, which means this likely is new for the AMD Never Settle bundle. If you browse a little further into NewEgg, here's what is coming up budle wise:

AMD Radeon Game Bundle on Newegg:

Radeon Graphics Card	Games Bundled
Radeon R9 295X2	1 x DiRT Rally
Radeon R9 290 Series	1 x DiRT Rally / 1 x GTA V
Radeon R9 280 Series	1 x DiRT Rally
Radeon R9 270 Series	1 x DiRT Rally

As to why GTA-V is not showing up with the R9 295x2 remains a little puzzling.

Indeed. Both should be included if people are willing to invest in such a card.

Well if this is part of the same "Never Settle" bundle and if you already picked out the games you wanted to play then why would you get these new ones? If these games are in place of the bundle, then there's still no reason you should get these new ones.

So... they made a nice webpage and wrote pdf document without actually explaining WHO IS ELIGIBLE.

Throughout the pdf, and in order to define bundle eligibility they use term "a participating retailer" without ever revealing who these retailers are(!)

GTA V Not Bundled With R200 Cards By AMD

DiRT: Rally is

According to an update we recieved from AMD, the recent bundles which we saw running at Newegg.com, are not AMD's doing, at least not all of them, as Grand Theft Auto 5 is not officially part of AMD's bundle, but DiRT: Rally is.

We have recently seen both Grand Theft Auto 5 and DiRT: Rally bundled and sold at Newegg.com with various AMD graphics cards, mostly Radeon R9 290 and R9 290X. While Grand Theft Auto 5 bundles were quickly gone from Newegg.com, either sold-out or simply removed, these were apparently handled by AMD AIBs and retailers and are not part of AMD's official game bundle.

On the other hand, AMD did note that DiRT: Rally bundle is AMD's official bundle and will be coming to plenty of AMD graphics cards, probably all across the currently available Radeon 200 series lineup. As you can see at this link, AMD already has a website live which allows you to redeem your DiRT: Rally coupon code.

It was quite surprising to Grand Theft Auto 5 bundled with some AMD graphics cards and hopefully some other AIB partners and retailers will run the same promotion, but in case you are looking for an AMD official bundle, you will have to "settle" for DiRT: Rally.
