Rockstar Games is proud to reveal Free Roam, the first piece of Red Dead Redemption’s groundbreaking multiplayer mode. Unlike any other multiplayer experience, Free Roam presents players with the entire, massive open world of Red Dead Redemption, right at their fingertips. Choose to explore the wild western wilderness solo, or join up with friends and wreck havoc as part of a posse. Eight people can be in one posse, while up to 16 players can explore the same, vast open-world lobby.

Danger lurks around every corner of this chaotic open world in the form of gangs, pesky lawmen, wild animals, and even other posses. Organized games and challenges are also available in addition to the wide-open wilderness. Level up characters with experience points to unlock new weapons, mounts, characters, and challenges.

Free Roam represents only one aspect of the multifaceted and innovative Red Dead Redemption multiplayer experience. Stay tuned for more on multiplayer in the coming weeks.
