January's Games With Gold Prepares Players For The Witcher 3
Microsoft has announced next month's Games With Gold offerings and they line up nicely with CD Projekt Red's upcoming RPG.
Starting on January 1 and running throughout the month, Xbox One owners can download Swery's campy adventure game, D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die (watch our Test Chamber for more info). On the Xbox 360, players can pick up MX vs. ATV Alive from January 1-15, and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings from January 16-31. The final offering should give players plenty of time to prepare for The Witcher 3, which is slated for a May 19 release.
In the meantime, be sure to pick up the rest of December's offerings.

Our Take
While D4 and MX vs.
ATV Alive received middling scores, you can't complain about a free copy of The
Witcher 2 – especially with the highly anticipated third installment on the horizon. Catching players up on a series in time for a sequel
is a great way for publishers to participate in Microsoft and Sony's free game programs;
I hope more companies follow this approach in the future.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
