Only a few days remain for the month of June, and soon enough, Microsoft will be releasing a bunch of new offerings for the avid Xbox One players. July is shaping up to be a month to watch out for in terms of exciting free games and the lineup of old Xbox game titles set to undergo backwards compatibility service. So far, the rumors suggest that there will be a few popular video games that are going to be backwards compatible next month, and one of those is Rockstar Games' highly successful shooter video game, "Red Dead Redemption."

There are signals that many forum members at Reddit have been noticing for the past few weeks. According to one of the speculative Redditors, the "Red Dead Redemption" web page on the Xbox Store has recently been updated. The changes done on the website include new details about the video game being playable on Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox Scorpio, the latest gaming platform being cooked up by Microsoft this year. This would only mean that Microsoft is now working on the process of converting the game to a playable format for new home consoles.

The Bitbag has also noted that the "Red Dead Redemption" was made playable with Xbox One's Preview program. This is not only seen as a confirmation of the game title being backwards compatible, but also an indication that the "Red Dead" sequel might also make it to the lineup of free games for Xbox Games With Gold for the month of July. If the game will not be included in July's list, it is still possible that "Red Dead Redemption" will be a free game in the coming months.

Meanwhile, WeGotThisCovered reported at least eight new games that are likely included in the list of backwards compatible Xbox games. The popular RPG video game, "Fallout: Las Vegas," is rumored to be available in Xbox One platforms next month. Aside from the old "Fallout" installment, game titles like Ubisoft's "I Am Alive," THQ's "Red Faction: Battlegrounds" and Hello Games' "Joe Danger Special Edition" are among the possible backwards compatible games for the month of July.
