Here's instructions from Kotaku on how to do so. No clue if this is a glitch and if Microsoft will fix it, but my copy is downloading as we speak.

It's not available under 'My games and Apps', you have to find someone who is following the game and download it from there. It's a weird method to be honest which makes me think it wasn't intentional. You can look up the writer of the story and download it from his followed games if you owned a copy digitally beforehand. Or if you don't, you can go buy it for $30 from the Xbox store on your computer.

It's a great day to be an Xbone owner.

Dammit I really want to play this again, but 30 bucks is too much.

If you still own the disk like I do then you can just play it again once it is officially out for BC.

Worst case scenario you could probably find it pretty cheap somewhere.

Microsoft's Xbox Support Twitter account advises against using the workaround laid out below to access Red Dead Redemption, as it may be a violation of the Xbox Live Code of Conduct.

@mvp_xbox_mex Hey there! This game isn't available for back compat according to LINK . We suggest not doing what is... ^AK

@mvp_xbox_mex ... shown in the video. Playing a game before it's been authorized to play on the service is against the Code of Conduct. ^AK

Xbox Live's Code of Conduct (via IGN) states that you should not "play a game before it has been authorized for play on the service."

Additionally, some people on NeoGAF who were able to successfully download Red Dead Redemption on Xbox One are reporting that the game now fails to launch. It is apparently still playable offline, but you can't save your game.

We will update this story with new information as it becomes available.

:(

but I'm sure it'll really be available soon
