Red Dead Redemption draws down on Xbox One this week

Ready to head back into the world of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption?

I think it’s probably fair to say that there have been more than a few gamers who’ve been waiting for this one. Yep, the latest addition to the list of Xbox 360 offerings on the Xbox One is Red Dead Redemption.

RDR was a landmark game for Rockstar Games. One that re-established their old west universe created in Red Dead Revolver on the Xbox and PS2. Landing on both the 360 and the PS3, Redemption massively captured more than a few gamer’s attention.

The title had a monster of an open-world, where you could engage in all manner of wild west shenanigans. Not content to be just a sandbox either, the story was actually really strong in RDR. There was more than enough incentive to get gamers to finish John Marston’s tale.

Sadly Rockstar hasn’t even mentioned the series since the last expansions pack was released. Though I have to admit that today’s announcement does have to make you a little bit hopeful. They clearly haven’t forgotten about it, so here’s to hoping that there’s another on the way.

While that’s somewhat out in the there though, the rock-solid reality is that you’ll be able to play Red Dead Redemption the Xbox One as of this coming Friday. All three versions of the game will be playable (Red Dead Redemption, Undead Nightmare and Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition), and you’l be able to grab a copy on the Xbox One game store.

Oil up those six-shooters.
