RDR Social Club Weekend!

From Rockstar...

Grab your rifles, revolvers, and semi-autos and mount up. It's time to kick this month of multiplayer into high gear with the first official installment of Red Dead Redemption events in the Social Club Multiplayer Events Series.

Tomorrow, May 21st from 4-8PM Eastern we'll be playing Red Dead on PlayStation Network and on Saturday, May 22nd from 12-4PM Eastern we'll be on Xbox LIVE. Not only can you play directly with members of Rockstar (including dev squad members from Rockstar San Diego) during the events, but you'll also be able to follow all of the action by watching the live stream and chatting with us on the Social Club Multiplayer Events page.

Here’s everything you need to know for this weekend's sessions:

HOW TO FIND US
Start up multiplayer from the main menu. This will place you into a Free Roam lobby. Invite at least one friend and form a posse. Then enter a game mode. We'll be playing multiple game modes at the same time during the event.

HOW DOES FREE ROAM WORK?
Free Roam is the hub of your online experience. Supporting up to 16 players, Free Roam allows you to explore with your friends and enemies, take out the gangs of outlaws or launch into more structured gameplay using the markers placed around the world. We'll be forming posses and then heading into several game modes during the evening.

To form a posse, press the 'Select' button and use the menu. This menu gives you several gameplay options and access to the list of players in your session.

FORMING A POSSE
For PlayStation 3, to start the game, invite your friends, form a posse and find Rockstar, follow these steps:
