The open-world Western adventure game "Red Dead Redemption" may have been leaked as part of Microsoft Xbox One's Backwards Compatibility program. This piece of news is great news for fans of the Western action adventure game. According to a report in IGN, the game first appeared in a gaming forum as one of the games listed as backwards compatible, together with two other games.
The two other games listed are "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" and "Tekken Tag Tournament 2." According to the report, users who own a digital copy (and not the physical disc) of the "Red Dead Redemption" will be able to access backwards compatibility.
The IGN report mentioned that users can go download the game which is said to "require some navigation." The report also warned gamers that while downloading the game can be done, it is not yet known if it will constitute a violation of the Terms of Service set by Microsoft, so downloaders will have to take some considerable risk.
