Red Dead Redemption backwards compatible Xbox One release an “error”
The magnificent Red Dead Redemption was among a number of titles which quietly became playable on Xbox One via backwards compatibility over the weekend.
Although Microsoft made no announcements, the Rockstar classic was found to be playable on the newer console via the digital version or after installing from the game disc and taking the console offline.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t an early release ahead of announcement, but a mistake – and it has since been rolled back.
“Microsoft tests all Xbox 360 games with our emulator to ensure a quality experience across a breadth of titles. Due to an error, some of the games currently in test were accidentally made available,” Microsoft’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb said on Reddit.
“We have since removed access to those games, and apologize for any confusion this may have caused. We will have more information on upcoming releases soon.”
Dang. Well, at least we know it’s definitely in the works – and about time! Red Dead Redemption has been one of the most-requested titles since Microsoft announced limited backwards compatibility for Xbox One.

Black_Biro When they announced BC they said it's pretty easy for the developers to do so, so why does it take so long for these games.. I know there's a few performance issues and stuff but I honestly don't care being a semi-beta tester, nor would pretty much anyone. Hate waiting so long.
Developers have no part in BC at all. The way it works is they need permission from the Publishers for example with RDR you would need Rockstar Games (Publisher) and not Rockstar North (Devs). Then MS as pointed in the article tests them then releases them when the game is ready.

Well the main thing is if the developers even want to have an old game on a newer console.
