Why can’t I play Red Dead Redemption the 360 version on my Xbox one?

I already own red dead redemption 2 on my Microsoft account for Xbox so why can't I use my Microsoft account to install the game on my PC?

Because like many other games, Red Red Redemption 2 isnt a play anywhere title meaning if you bought it for Xbox then that only entitles you to the Xbox version of the game.

If you want to play the PC version then youll need to purchase the PC version.

Keeps telling me that there’s a problem with my credentials that I’m using to sign in with. Code 8007274C

I cleared my 360 storage from console so hopefully this helps…

I am playing on Xbox one and I’m using the disc for my 360 but I downloaded the under nightmare DLC. When I go to play it just gives me the normal or hard-core version of red dead redemption and never gives me an option to play in the nightmare.

There's no native Xbox One version of Red Dead Redemption. The one you see on the xbox store, is the 360 version made compatible on the system. The base game is on sale on xbox 360, but the dlcs are not on sale. Its best to get Red Dead Redemption Game
of The Year edition as it would have all dlcs included.

I suggest you read thru
support.xbox.com/.../compatibility-with-xbox-360-faq to get an idea how things work.

So yes, the 360 game will show up on xbox one ready to install, which means you'll be getting the xbox one version of the 360 game running in an emulator.
