Red Dead Redemption 2 Not installing or in queue after purchase

Are you sure that you purchased the full Red Dead Redemption 2 and not just the Red Dead Redemption 2: Story Mode. If you purchased the Story Mode, then you need to own Red Dead Online in order to play it. Story Mode is just DLC for Red Dead Online and cannot be played or installed without Red Dead Online.

I red dead redemption 2 from Microsoft store from my Xbox one and after purchase it said “Success! You can check install status of RDR2 in My games & app” and gives me an option to click on “check install progress” but when I click on it, there is nothing installing or in queue. It just says “when games and apps are installing, you’ll see them here” but I don’t see anything.

hello fellow gamer if I may ask a question does the game show up in your owned games list?

Hello x23 Hyper 23x,

For our users that have purchased Red Dead Redemption 2: Story Mode and are no longer able to access it, you will have to purchase Red Dead Online as it is a requirement.

Currently you are able to purchase Red Dead Online, Red Dead Redemption 2: Story Mode & Red Dead Redemption 2 (which bundles both the story mode and online)

Did you purchase the full game Red Dead Redemption 2 or did you purchase Red Dead Redemption 2: Story Mode, which is an add-on for Red Dead Online? If you purchased Story Mode, then you need to purchase Red Dead Online to keep using the add-on. Story Mode is not a stand alone game. Red Dead Online used to be on Game Pass but was removed back in September.
