Many players are reviewing their library in the last hours (I’m also included) and they still can’t see the free update they should have available. This has caused quite a bit of confusion, especially because the promotion doesn’t activate the same way for everyone, nor does it appear as a new purchase in the history. The key lies in how the Xbox store displays these personalized offers.

In reality, the promotion doesn’t arrive as a message, nor as a pop-up, nor as a new product added to the account. The Store manages this type of update silently and marks them as individually applied discounts. That’s why, even if it appears with its full price when searching, the offer can appear correctly when entering the product page.

Red Dead Redemption and its update: how it should look when activated correctly

In the case of Red Dead Redemption, those who have the digital version of Xbox 360 will see the update as an offer of the type “Just for You“. When opening the updated game’s page, the price automatically changes to 100% discount, allowing you to redeem it as if it were a free purchase. This only works with digital editions: physical discs do not activate the promotion.

The activation is arriving in stages, so some players already have it available, while others will still see it at the regular price until their account is updated. It’s also normal that, when searching, it still appears at 49.99 € (25 € with temporary discount), but it’s free when entering the product page.

The most important thing is:

• It only works if your Xbox 360 copy is digital.

• Physical editions do not activate the offer.

• It may take a while to appear on all accounts; several users are receiving the promotion in stages.

• If you have it, it will appear directly as “Free” or “100% discount”.

If it appears like this (applied discount, personalized offer, and price reduced to 0%), it means you can get the improved version without paying anything. Good news after the initial chaos caused by this update.

Just Claimed the Red Dead update. It appeared as a “Just for You” deal.
