Such a poor bunch of games.

I'm glad they will release them as they become available though.

Hmmmmm. Take it we are not one of the select regions then?.

I think it is better to release these as and when rather than in batches though. Might look at soul calibur, loved that back in the day.

So we have a few hours to wait before we can get it then.

Edit; Sorry misread your post I thought you meant 6pm.

... and now it isn't

It now requires an update that isn't available, and so refuses to load.

Understandable, I guess, as it was fairly obvious it hadn't officially rolled out given the weird way you needed to access it.

Still, we know it's coming anyway...

The tweet from Major Nelson might explain why.

.....man - I got overly excited when I saw RDR as Back Compat - however, it was short lived!!

Seems that that the Back Compat for RDR was only for the digital version of the game anyway and not for the physical disc version.

Well, at least we know its coming soon - hopefully!!

Crap list of games originally announced, none of which I've actually got, especially seeing as I recently sold all my 360 games towards various One games.

If you managed to download the game digitally, set your xbox one to offline and rdr should still work, going by the neo gaf thread. have the game on disc so no joy for me.

There are some great games on the list, plus you can pick a lot of them up for £2 or less on Ebay.

...although that would still probably work, I've also heard that using that method will also not allow you to save your game progress + also against Microsoft's T&Cs. I would say - use with caution!!!
