I just went through this myself and ran into some trouble, so here’s how it worked for me: First you need to log in at your retailer (in my case Mindfactory) and request the code under My Orders. The actual game code came by email the next day. Then install the NVIDIA App (yes, even if you don’t want to keep it – I uninstalled it right after). When trying to redeem the code, I always got the error that my hardware was not eligible – both in the NVIDIA App and on the official redeem page. After lots of trial and error (clean install of drivers, trying hotspot, etc.), what finally fixed it was disabling IPv6 on my Wi-Fi adapter. Once I reconnected, the redemption suddenly worked. So the old IPv6 issue is apparently still around in 2025.

r/nvidia on Reddit: How do I claim my Borderlands 4 game code after buying a PNY GPU?
August 23, 2025 -

Hi everyone,

I just bought a new PNY graphics card that comes with a Borderlands 4 game bundle. However, I’m not sure how to actually claim or redeem the game code.

Just have the same problem and that was driving me crazy. But here is my solution to redeem the promo code : As u/nokobueno said in another topic : Type “View Network Connections” into the Start Menu. 2.           Right-click on your active Ethernet adapter, then select Properties. 3.           Uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). 4.           Click OK to apply changes. Then I went to the Nvidia control panel, and click on "Configure surround PhysX" tab and selected my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070Ti) instead of "auto" in the PhysX settings field. After that I run the NVIDIA App, try to redeem the promo code and everything works.

September 17, 2025 -

  1. Type "View Network Connections" into the Start Menu.

2.Right-click on your Internet source (Wifi, Ethernet), then select Properties.

3.Uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).

4. Click OK to apply changes.

5.Attempt to redeem the game.

6.Once successful, repeat the steps above and re-enable IPv6 by checking the box again.

If the above steps do not work, Repeat it and then go into the nvidia control panel -> Configure Surround, PhysX -> PhysX settings -> select your GPU (disable auto select).

THANKS TO LostOnSunday for the following update.

Update: After reading some forums, a few people got it to work by using a VPN or using their phone as a hot spot. I was about to try this, but thought I would try the normal way one more time. Worked perfectly without any modifications or workarounds and is currently downloading. Good luck, everyone.
