Red Dead Redemption sales have skyrocketed by over 6000% following the announcement that the game will be made backwards compatible for Xbox one owners on 8 July<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Amazon’s Movers & Shakers list<\/strong>, which tracks sales ranking and notes increases, lists a 6329%<\/strong> rise in Red Dead Redemption sales and currently lists it at as the 17th most popular video game on the site, reports Gamespot<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“The game of the year edition, which includes the Undead Nightmare expansion, has increased in sales by 1877% and is currently the 36th most popular game, previously being No. 712”.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that these figures don’t take into account online sales which we presume are just as high, as the games is enjoying a massive discount as part of Microsoft’s Ultimate Game Sale<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can pick the title up digitally for R74.75<\/strong> if you are a Gold member or R104.65<\/strong> if you don’t have Microsoft’s paid subscription.<\/p>\n
