Thanks to all who joined us for some pretty awesome TDM, GTA Race and of course fan-favorite Cops n’ Crooks (special shout to Flight666, PlayRockstar10 and Dinobrunio for a particularly memorable car-flipping, and epic shootouts bit of C&C).

Check out fan-captured footage here of some Deathmatch shoot-em-ups courtesy of cahill7777 - a longtime Red Dead Social Club multiplayer vet who joined us for his first GTAIV event. Good stuff.

Recapping the March 23rd Red Dead Redemption GOTY Xbox LIVE Social Club Multiplayer Event

Posted: April 10, 2012 12:30PM | Author: R* Y

Special shout to longtime Social Club multiplayer events veteran GermanScientist who captured and edited the Blackwater Stronghold match seen above from our March 23rd multiplayer event. Check it out and don't miss some great moments when GermanScientist works with his posse to defend the safe in Dutch's Gang and earns the 'Avatar of Death' Achievement for not dying in the second round. Plus some pretty amusing running commentary throughout from players scheming on the elusive RedDeadDev5.

The event kicked off a full weekend of Triple XP in Red Dead Redemption on Xbox LIVE and t'was awesome to see a lot of our dedicated Social Club legends (all names below) in the turn out in addition to all those on the multiplayer events page chatting, watching the live video broadcast and entering the sweepstakes. As with the previous event, GTALAD4EVA was kind enough to record the entire thing, and even captured snippets of the chat in the video. Nice one.

Also congrats to our sweepstakes winners lucky enough to have their names randomly drawn from all the entries, including Grand Prize winner Jchandler who will be receiving two custom hand-painted Red Dead Xbox 360 controllers, and to all 20 runners-up. They are Co2-UK, Fan1wwe, peteeee007, AAT71FALI, JuggaloMemnoch, AnimeGuy2308, Rollaw, Olsky1, B-Dawk, PyratRum, emilegoss, YMe369, XRatedLegend, treedee71, Dogbone7, UFG_KingRomulus, 100indecisions, bhgabe, Mannylude and cdman17.

While RedDeadDev3 was killing and being killed on the live video stream, our other Rockstars were scattered across several other multiplayer modes. Early on in the afternoon, RedDeadDev6 entered Myths and Mavericks Free For All Matches in Cochinay where ADX Scarlett took down everyone in the opening Standoff, but it was GGretski ANBU who dominated, winning the round. Also, props to TWLWeeperReaper for an epic win of Gold Rush and to all others that came out on top in matches throughout the day.

The next multiplayer event is happening next Friday April 20th from 4-7PM Eastern when we'll be playing Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition on PSN. Check out the Spring events calendar for more information, and as a bonus you can follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Steam to get the word when we'll be jumping online to play other than the ones we pre-announce...

Below check out a few screens from March 23rd as well as a full list of participants according to our records...

Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition Official Social Club Multiplayer Event on PSN (April 5, 4-7PM Eastern)

Posted: April 05, 2012 4:00PM | Author: R* Y

Update: The event and sweepstakes have ended. Thanks to everyone that joined in, whether you were watching, chatting, playing or just entering the sweepstakes...

The Spring calendar of Social Club multiplayer events heats up this month with a double dose for PSN, beginning Thursday April 5th with an afternoon of Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition from 4-7PM Eastern, and continuing in two weeks on Friday April 20th with Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition in the same time slot.

Hope to see everyone on both days, but first things first: the GTAIV event. We'll have a live video stream on the multiplayer events page, and you can also join in the chat and enter to win one of 20 prize packs. Winners will receive a t-shirt, GTAIV license plate and a bunch of stickers – all delivered to your doorstep.

We'll begin the event in GTAIV and later switch over to The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, about an hour for each. We recommend staying in the chatroom on the multiplayer events page while playing so you'll be able to let us know your IDs. Any version of GTAIV or the episodes will be compatible with us, so don't worry if you don't own the Complete Edition. PlayRockstar12 will be in original Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer for the entire event for those that don't have the episodes.

Read on for further details for the afternoon of GTA multiplayer action...

OFFICIAL ROCKSTAR PSN IDs
Participating PlayStation Network Rockstar Games IDs for this day will be:

• PlayRockstar10
• PlayRockstar11
• PlayRockstar12
• PlayRockstar13

Only add one PSN ID to your friends list to play. If you have a different version than the Complete Edition disc for Grand Theft Auto IV, no worries as you will be compatible with us.

FINDING US IN-GAME
Where's Rockstar? Pay attention to the live chat on the Social Club Multiplayer Events page. We'll announce where we're at in there. We'll begin in Grand Theft Auto IV in GTA Race, and later progress to the two episodes. Use the in-game cellphone to select the mode we're playing during the event.

NEED A PARTNER?
For team-based modes such as Team Deathmatch, gather your friends using Party Mode. You can also hit up the chat during the event or just post your PlayStation Network ID in the Comments section below.

ABOUT PARTY MODE
Party Mode is an easy way to get your group together and find matches.  Here are the three quick and easy steps to get you up and running:

1. Save your current game. To get started, fire up the in-game mobile phone by pressing "Up" on the keyboard. Select Multiplayer > Party Mode > Yes.
2. Next, open up your phone again and select the Friends option to invite at least one person into your Party Mode game.
3. Once your team is ready to roll, open up the in-game phone again and select Games > GTA Race.

Recap of the Red Dead Redemption Official Social Club Multiplayer Event on PSN (March 8) with Screens, Fan Video & Prize Winners

Posted: March 26, 2012 4:00PM | Author: R* Y

We kicked off the brand new multiplayer events calendar in style on Friday March 8th with an afternoon of Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition on PSN. Thanks to everyone that entered the sweepstakes, played in-game and hung out on the Social Club multiplayer events page to chat and watch the live video stream.

Social Club member The_Duckmaster is the Grand Prize winner from the event, who will soon receive two hand-painted, custom Red Dead PS3 controllers. And congrats to all 20 runner-ups who will each get a Red Dead t-shirt, deck of playing cards and an assortment of stickers: gabe2121, Darkk_Desperado, Musicman5150, Illusion24, lewis74, icg665, enricky559, DC6100355, hellofahat, Sepeli, SAV-UK, Pat723, chaseoquinn, SmellyBadger, 1337Pilot, alleykt123, UltimateWatson, MarTechnologies, RUSTYAVC and Thunder_Passion.

Cheers to everyone who played online in a day full of action - including an epic Free Roam session when RedDeadDev3 led a posse into a Gang Hideouts battle, filling the area with bloody gunfights, explosions, and absolute annihilation of the enemy bandits (thanks to posse members Kingz4Life04, Christobell46, vince_123, beastfin, alex2071, Brink-2-Chaos, GM-Shenmue and others). You can see that particular posse in effect at around the 17-minute mark in the below video. Also a shout to marcopius, X_P_KILLER___ and  jakeman143 who duked it out with RedDeadDev3 over who got to push the mine cart during the Walton's Gold cooperative mission. Good stuff.

A special thanks goes out to longtime Social Club multiplayer event participant GM-Shenmue for his capture of over 40 minutes of gameplay from the event for everyone to enjoy on YouTube:

And GTALAD4EVA even recorded the entire event stream if you'd like to watch how it all went down. Thank you as always for the support, guys.

Have a look below for a few screens we put together to show off some of the memorable moments from the afternoon:
