MSI is giving away a copy of Onimusha: Way of the Sword with a whole raft of its QD-OLED gaming monitors, and with twelve displays on the eligible list there’s a good chance the one you’ve been eyeing up qualifies. The campaign opens today, 14 August, and runs until 31 October 2026, though MSI has been clear that it ends early if the codes run dry first.
Capcom’s game doesn’t actually launch until 4 September, so this is a chance to lock in a copy ahead of release rather than a bundle of something you’ve already had the option to play for months. That makes it a more appealing freebie than most monitor promotions manage.
How to Claim Your Copy
Here’s the part worth reading properly, because this isn’t a straightforward proof-of-purchase job. MSI wants you to write about the monitor before it hands over the code.
- Buy an eligible MSI QD-OLED monitor between 14 August and 31 October 2026.
- Post a user experience comment about the monitor on the designated online platform.
- Submit the URL of that comment, along with valid proof of purchase, through the MSI Member Center.
- Once MSI has verified the submission, you can redeem your code for Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
The comment step is the one that’ll catch people out. Keep hold of your receipt, and don’t leave the write-up until the last week of October in case verification takes a few days to come back.
Eligible MSI QD-OLED Monitors
All twelve qualifying displays sit in the MPG range, spanning 27-inch competitive panels up to a pair of 49-inch super-ultrawides. Here’s what each one brings.
27-Inch
MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50
The headline number is 500Hz, but the connection behind it matters just as much. DisplayPort 2.1a carries 80Gbps here, which is enough bandwidth to run 1440p at 500Hz natively instead of leaning on display stream compression to get there. MSI also fits the newer OLED Care 3.0 suite with an AI presence sensor, and the mandatory panel refresh interval has been stretched from 16 hours to 24, so it interrupts you less during long sessions. The USB-C port delivering 98W is the practical bonus, since it means one cable for a work laptop.
MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED
Sitting a tier below the X50 on nearly every spec, the 271QRX has usually been the cheaper of the two 27-inch 1440p options by a decent margin. That’s the whole argument for it. 360Hz is still well beyond what most graphics cards will feed at 1440p in anything but esports titles, so the gap between this and the X50 is far smaller in practice than the numbers suggest. The KVM switch and 90W USB-C both carry over.
MSI MPG 272URX QD-OLED
This is the sharpness pick. Cramming 4K onto 27 inches gives you the highest pixel density of anything in the promotion, and it makes a real difference to text rendering, which has historically been QD-OLED’s weak point. The trade is obvious enough: you’re asking your graphics card to push four times the pixels of the 271QRX at two thirds of the refresh rate.
32-Inch
MSI MPG 321CURX QD-OLED
1700R is a gentle bend, and on a screen this size that’s the point. It pulls the outer edges of a 32-inch panel closer to your eyeline without doing anything visibly odd to straight lines through the middle, which is the usual complaint about curved 16:9 displays. Everything else matches the flat models in this group, including the 98W USB-C and the KVM switch.
MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED
The 321URX has been a default recommendation at this size for a while, and nothing about it is exotic, which is rather the appeal. 4K at 240Hz, full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for consoles, and a KVM for a second machine. Given how long it’s been on sale it’s also the one most likely to turn up discounted, which stacks nicely with a free game.
MSI MPG 321URXW QD-OLED
There still aren’t many white OLED monitors at 32 inches, which is the entire reason this exists as a separate SKU. If your build is white and you’ve been putting up with a black display sat on top of it, this solves that without asking you to compromise on the panel. {HC to confirm the W matches 321URX panel spec exactly}
MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24
MSI’s naming does at least tell you something here, with the X24 denoting 240Hz. It slots in alongside the 321URX rather than replacing it, so the two overlap heavily and whichever is cheaper in a given week tends to be the right answer.
MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED
This is the one to look at if you’ve got a recent graphics card in the machine. DisplayPort 2.1a with UHBR20 gives it the bandwidth to run 4K at 240Hz uncompressed, where the older 32-inch models fall back on DSC to manage the same thing. In blind use that difference is subtle, but it’s the sort of thing that ages better over a monitor’s lifespan.
34-Inch Ultrawide
MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED
The more affordable of the two ultrawides and still a thoroughly capable display. 3440×1440 is a far gentler load than 4K, so a mid-range card can make genuine use of the 240Hz rather than leaving most of it unused. If the X36 sits outside your budget, very little of what makes an ultrawide worth owning is missing here.
MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36
This is the most interesting display on the eligible list. The fifth-generation Tandem panel swaps QD-OLED’s old triangular sub-pixel arrangement for a conventional RGB stripe, which is the change that finally deals with the text fringing the technology has been picked apart for since the first generation. The five-layer structure lifts brightness to 300 nits full-screen and 1,300 nits peak, and MSI’s DarkArmor coating holds black levels better in a lit room. On top of all that it’s the quickest 21:9 OLED you can buy.
49-Inch Super-Ultrawide
MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED
A 32:9 panel is effectively two 27-inch 1440p monitors joined without a bezel down the middle, which is as useful for editing timelines and spreadsheets as it is for racing sims. The 144Hz ceiling is the honest compromise and it’s a real one against the rest of this list, though pushing 5120×1440 much beyond that asks a lot of any graphics card.
MSI MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED
One letter separates this from the 491CQP on a shelf edge, and it’s doing a lot of work. Same size, same resolution, same 1800R curve, but 240Hz rather than 144Hz. Check the model string properly before you commit, because the gap between the two is significant and the names give you very little to go on.
Worth Grabbing?
Game bundles shouldn’t be the reason you pick a monitor, and they rarely are. But if a QD-OLED panel was already on your shortlist for autumn, timing the purchase inside this window costs you nothing beyond a few minutes writing up your thoughts on it.
The eligible list is broad enough that you’re not being pushed towards clearing old stock either. Recent releases like the 341CQR X36 sit alongside models that have been out a while, so you can pick on merit rather than on what qualifies.
The promotion runs from 14 August to 31 October 2026, or until all codes have been claimed, whichever lands first. Terms and conditions apply, and full details are available on MSI’s campaign page.
