I just got it from the online store and now I'm going to download it to my Xbox. I could never stick with the PC version for very long. My PC isn't great and I could never balance between gameplay and looks. I'll probably buy the Witcher 3 for PS4 though.

 

[MauroNL]

Looks like they flipped the worldwide switch now, 'cause I was just able to buy it from the Netherlands store.

Same. Bought it from UK store. Nice.

How long does it take to show up on the console?

Mine was in my games and apps instantly to download/install. Don't know if it's supposed to do it automatically?

Still doesnt work here.

I have a bad feeling about this...

 

[Blue Ninja]

I tried getting it on my Xbox 360, but it doesn't show up in the store there. Guess I'll need to add a credit card...

EDIT: Nevermind, found it on my console. Awesome.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Hmm

 

[Nazo]

So...Do people who got it with Games with Gold a while ago get to play it on the Xbone or am I shit outta luck?

Of course you do, if you own it you can install it on your Xbox One.

It should still work if you got it via GwG. I don't see why it wouldn't.

Yeah, any games you own digitally show up as soon as they add it to BC. And 360 GwG are owned by the account, not tied to ongoing Gold membership.

 

[brawly]

Doesn't show up on the console for me. ffs

Says "already purchased" in the webstore.

You probably got it when it was GWG last year?

 

[Nazo]

Of course you do, if you own it you can install it on your Xbox One.

Oh, well that's cool. I was under the impression anything that was previously available with on GwG wouldn't be available to owners of said games on Xbone BC. Don't know why I thought that. I'm glad to see I was mistaken. Downloading it now!

 

[brawly]

Nah got it 5 minutes ago.

Edit: Nevermind, works now. Switched the location a bunch of times and it showed up now.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'll try this out if I have enough HDD space on my 360

Not for us Australians :'(

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I wonder what the performance is like after all the DF threads of other games.

What threads and what games?

 

[legbone]

So, I can just throw my Witcher 2 disc in my xbone and it will start downloading right?

 

[Plum]

Just started it (not doing a serious play through however), but this port is really impressive for a 360 game. Apart from the obvious graphical and performance downgrades it looks great and runs well.

 

[Poona]

Sucks. Wonder why Australia was excluded.

 

[Alienous]

Still not working in the UK?

Should yes...

Xbox one is terrible at auto updating lists, best thing to do is power cycle the console or something that forces the machine to completely reboot.

 

[Iastfan112]

So what is the weird reason this is not for every country?
Because i cant think of anything.

Could be related to agreements with their publishers. After the fiasco of attempting to port Witcher 1 I know they had to sign away more of the the distribution rights to the Witcher 2 than they would have preferred. Company was in serious fiscal distress at that point.

 

[CollectedDust]

Thanks for the link! I already own and played through the game on PC, but I've always been curious to see how the x360 version compares.

 

[Static Veins]

Downloaded and played a good chunk of the opening. No glaring issues whatsoever. In fact this might be one of those cases where the game runs better on the One than 360; most notably the horrific screen tearing that the 360 version of the game suffered from is now nowhere in sight. Frame rate holds steady throughout as well.

 

[bede-x]

They've changed it. It's in all regions now except Japan:

**Free download of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is available in all markets excluding Japan

 

[brawly]

Revenge for last week's sales.

 

[mr_nexus]

I literally just got this game in the mail today. Well at least I can still get the free download anyway.

I works in Australia.

I did it this morning.

Here's the marketplace link: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-AU/Product/The-Witcher-2/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024e4d0855?nosplash=1

Sweet! Thanks for that!

L trigger plus R trigger whilst pressing Y button on main menu screen on your Xbox one should refresh things...!

 

[Theorry]

Still dont see the game in my ready to install list?

 

[JClarke]

Not working for me in the UK. I have a sneaky feeling i may already down it digitally though, anyway to see transaction history ?

Edit : Yep already own it digitally as of July 2014, guess it should just show up on my Xbox one ?

Edit 2: Apparently I also purchased Tales of Vesperia and Dark souls, wonder if they will be added to the backwards compatibility list

 

[Castef]

Free in Italy too.

 

[TimFL]

Still not working in germany. When I follow OPs link it tells me the offer is not valid in my region, when I manually search for it in the german store it comes up as "Package only" with no way to download/buy.

//EDIT: Nvm, there is a 360 store entry that works.

 

[ScientificPizza]

so how is this game on the 360? i have the PC version, but playing it with a controller (I assume it isn't native on the PC) sounds very appealing to me

edit: nvm I guess the PC version does have controller support. i'll stick to that

 

[Green Yoshi]

How is the framerate on Xbox One?

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Same here. I put the country on the site to Netherlands and downloaded it, shouldn't it show up on Xbox One in the Ready to Install area right away? Or do I have to put my Xbox One to Netherlands for that too?

 

[ramparter]

Couldn't get it yesterday but it worked now

I was pretty surprised myself. I may be wrong but the controls felt somehow more responsive too. I did notice a lot of pop-in, but can't remember if it was there before.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

I don't have my Xbox 360 powered on, let alone connected. But do I need to download it first on that before it shows up on Xbox One or something?

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Not really interested in Witcher at all, but a free game is a free game, so why the hell not.
Thanks OP!

No. As long as you are able to get it from this link http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/P...of-Kings/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80257520824 then you should be able to download it from your Xbox One.

 

[RobRivers]

Free in spain too

 

[DodgerSan]

Just tried UK, still not available in your region.

Edit - tried again and it worked. Might have had a cached page.

 

[Minamu]

What about sweden, without gold? :/ i have non-gold accounts in jpn, uk and us I think.
