Sleeping Dogs Free Through Games With Gold January 1, 2014

Happy New Year from GameXcess.net.  To kick off the month of January, Microsoft and Eidos Interactive have partnered up to make two of their classic games free this month.  Starting today, Sleeping Dogs, a highly well received open world action game, will be free thanks to the Games With Gold Promotion.

All Xbox Live Gold Members who have valid gold accounts between now and the 15th of this month will be able to download Sleeping Dogs for free through the Xbox Live Marketplace.  You should be able to find it easily enough through the Xbox 360 Dashboard, but if not you can just do a search for it.  Eidos has also discounted some of the game’s DLC by as much as 50% while this promotion is going on, but some of the game’s DLC is free so be sure to check that after downloading the game.

As always with Games With Gold, all games downloaded through the service remain tied to your Xbox Live account forever, even if your Xbox Live Gold account expires.  If you happen to delete the game for whatever reason, you will also have no issue redownloading it through the Xbox 360’s download history.  Just check your Xbox Live account details for more information.

Sleeping Dogs will only be free with Gold until the 15th of this month.  Starting on the 16th of January, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (for Xbox Live Arcade) will be free with the Games With Gold Promotion until the end of the month.  You must have a valid Xbox Live Gold account during the duration of the promotion to participate.
