Microsoft Has anyone played RDR via back compatibility on Xbox? If so, a question.

I've been looking and cannot find any information about if it's possible to play the "hardcore" mode that was introduced in the GOTY edition of RDR.  When I played the original, the absurd lack of difficulty really tarnished the experience for me.  There was an updated difficulty mode titled "hardcore" in the re-release that supposedly corrected this issue.

 

I know you can play RDR in 4k on Xbox S/X, but does anybody have either a digital or physical copy of the GOTY edition that they can confirm has this mode?  I cannot figure out if this is a possibility, because from what I can tell, only the original edition is available digitally.  And, if you buy a physical copy of the GOTY edition, I'm assuming that it just pulls the digital license for whatever Xbox has available.  I've been wanting to play the game again, but it's probably not worth it unless there is at least some sort of challenge.
