Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 has been on Xbox Game Pass before, but a new rumour is suggesting that the famous developer could be planning to bring the original Red Dead Redemption to the service for the very first time.
As posted over on Reddit, a fan has found a string of code within the Red Dead website that lists where RDR can be played. The coding reads as follows: 'Available for Nintendo Switch, PS3, PlayStation Plus Premium for PS4 and PS5, Xbox 360, and Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S'.
Here's evidence of the list:
For what it's worth, the game isn't on PS Plus Premium right now either despite the above mention - but the sequel did just get announced for PS Plus Extra this week. On Xbox the game is part of the GTA+ subscription service, but the Xbox 360 title has never been on Game Pass up to this point.
This whole thing is just a rumour for the moment and could even be some sort of mistake within the Red Dead website, so it's best to wait and see about any potential announcements on this one. It'd certainly be strange to see a random backwards compatible classic get added to Game Pass in 2024, but, stranger things have happened!
Would this tempt you into a Red Dead replay? Drop your thoughts down below.

Amongst this rumor is that Red Dead Redemption 1 may finally be coming to PC as well.
Hopefully it gets 60 FPS somehow, kinda jealous of the PS5 version since that patch came out.
We might as well get the Atari 2600 games released again the way gaming keeps thinking we all want to live in olden days.
Instead of giving some new generation defining AAA games that actually make use of these £480 consoles we purchased.
The same month PS+ gets RDR2?
I so wish this game would get a heavy remaster. Bring it up to current gen graphics. But the PS5 copy at least runs at 60fps. Speaking of 60fps, i think i am giving up on it ever coming to RDR2 on console. Players and fan’s been asking for it for years now. Not a word from rockstar about it. All the game did was sell over 50 million units so you know… it’s not a priority for rockstar.
Where's the Activision drops just diablo ain't enough now at this stage
Anyone really cares about this or Redemption 2? I'm guessing most people with at least a minimum of interest already bought them ages ago.
@IOI if its the same version they included in GTA+, then it could be.
Good for people who haven't played it. Rcoskatar games don't stay long. With millions of copies sold, it can be bought cheaply used. The copy I bought for the household came with the physical map and the zombie mode disc.
@Lup My buddy convinced me to give it a shot and I've never played it before, so I'm potentially part of the audience for whatever it's worth to mention it.
@IOI I was about to ask that, perhaps FPS Boost?
@HonestHick They should add FPS Boost to the sequel too or, you know, on the next console at the very least.
@Lup I was waiting for 60fps on Xbox before buying the second game. I haven't played the first one. So, you could say that I'm interested in both and playing other games in the meantime.
Not exciting since I have it for 360, PS4, & Switch already.
I really want RDR1 to come to Steam instead. So I can play it on my Steam Deck oled at 60fps with gyro aiming!
That's fantastic news for the 3 people in the world that haven't played the 14 year old game yet.
Once again - - game pass the greatest nonvalue going in gaming today. Unless...you enjoy 8 bit Nintendo level quality indie games. Cause if you do, you gonna be feasting!
It’s kind of ancient and irrelevant at this point. But then again… gta V is almost as ancient. Red dead has been eclipsed by its fantastic sequel which is better in every way.
Rockstar sitting on easy money releasing this on PC.
A few extra million copies sold for bare minimum resources used.
