The Xbox One now has more backward compatible games including The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, which you can download for free between now and February 5 in all regions except for Japan. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is the prequel to the award-winning The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and takes players on Geralt’s journey as he becomes entangled within the political turmoil that has taken over Temeria while hunting down a treacherous assassin.

In announcing the new list of games, Major Nelson also revealed that players around the world have logged over 21-million hours playing Xbox One Backward Compatibility games. Also, Microsoft will start releasing titles as they become available rather than doing a set monthly launch date, which means the company will release whatever is available, when they’re available.
