Red Dead Redemption: 24 hours after its release many Xbox players still without the free update

The release of the new version of Red Dead Redemption for Xbox Series has been a disaster. Since its announcement last November, nothing suggested that its arrival would be so complicated, basically when it was announced that those who had the previous game in digital format could update to the new version for free. The truth is that it’s not an update, it’s a new game, and 24 hours after its release, many players are still unable to download the new game on Xbox without a cost.

In other countries, it seems that Rockstar has taken more initiative and has started delivering a special offer, “Just for you“, with a 100% discount, but at least in Spain, except for a few exceptions, many players (including myself) are still waiting for the issue to be resolved.

The new edition of Red Dead Redemption is still paid on Xbox

Obviously, before writing these lines, I’ve tried all possible methods to get the game, but with the same result, it asks me to pay €24.99 to get it, something I’m not willing to do, especially after having the digital version since 2020 and the physical version since 2010.

Both Rockstar and Microsoft are aware of the issue, and as I mentioned earlier, in other countries and progressively, they seem to be solving the problem, although I believe that 24 hours after its release, there are more players outside of the free update than inside it. We’ll see how the next few hours unfold, normally, if you had the digital edition of the game, at some point, it should appear for you to claim it, although, as I said, in my particular case, 24 hours later, I’m still unable to do so.

Have you been able to get it?
