Xbox or Xbox 360 games on Xbox one

but only have an Xbox one. Can I play the old red dead games (red dead Revolver, red dead redemption, red dead redemption undead nightmare) on the Xbox one? So as far as I know it's red dead revolver for the Xbox and read dead redemption and red dead redemption undead nightmare for the Xbox 360.

Red Dead Redemption is backwards compatible with add-ons, but I don't know.

Unfortunately not Red Dead Revolver.

Ju

I'm a little embarrassed now, but what does downward compatible and addon mean 😂 sorry, I don't know anything about such terms

Ju

And there's another possibility to play red dead revolver without having to buy a console for me

Ma

You don't have to be embarrassed.

Backward compatible in this case means that you can also play games from the previous console on one console.

In the case of the One, it is also possible to play 360 or even original Xbox games. Not all of them, however, because the games have to be emulated.

And an add-on is just an extension to an existing game. In the case of Red Dead Revolver, this was Undead Nightmare which was later released after the actual game.

Ma

Since you bought the game for the Xbox, you can only play it on it.

Alternatively, there's probably still on the Playstation 2.

Ju

OK thank you. It couldn't have been better phrased.

Ma

I thank you for the compliment. 😀

Ju

I still have a short question: do you have to have red dead redemption to play undead nightmare? Or can you also start with undead nightmare?

Ma

I have now checked again. Unfortunately, Undead Nightmare is also not backwards compatible. So you would need an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 to play it.

That's the way it is with old console games.

But I would start with Red Dead Redemption first because the addon came out afterwards.

Ju

Thank you and sorry that I have annoyed me so often

Ju

Oh yes I mean there's still a Game of the Year Edition with Red Dead Redemption 1 and Undead Nightmare

Ma

Don't worry, it's all good.

This is what this platform is for.
