Red Dead Redemption gets backwards compatibility treatment

7/2/2016

One the most requested games for backwards compatibility, Red Dead Redemption, is finally playable on Xbox One. Sort of. ​

It doesn't yet show up as ready to install and it won't work if you have the retail version but it can be played. If you have a friend who owns the game (which is almost a certainty given its popularity) you can go through their history to find it and buy/install it from the marketplace, but be warned, it won't work for everyone. It seems likely that you'll soon be able to play it using the disc.
It appears that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Alan Wake: American Nightmare are playable using the same method and a couple more games are apparently  coming our way, Left 4 Dead and Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night.

Halo Wars, Skate 3, Call Of Duty: Black Ops and the Bioshock trilogy have also been confirmed.

Major Nelson recently announced that backwards compatible titles will now be made available as and when they are ready, rather than releasing a handful every month. And, since November of last year, all Xbox 360 Games With Gold offerings will be backwards compatible too.
