Back in February, Red Dead Redemption quietly became backwards compatible on Xbox One. It was later removed by Microsoft, who claimed it was part of a âtestâ that wasnât meant to be released publicly. Soon, though, everyone will get a chance to revisit one of Rockstarâs best games.
Xboxâs Major Nelson revealed the gameâs return to backwards compatibility on Twitter today. The game will be turned on this Friday.

Given that rumors about a sequel have circulated for years, dare we hope todayâs news is the first step towards that game finally showing up?
Oh, and while youâre at it, Rockstar, release the original game on PC!
