Multiplayer fans rejoice, especially if you are a fan of Red Dead Redemption. If not, this article is clearly not for you. Today, Rockstar is releasing the first of four upcoming DLCs for its western epic, titled “Legends and Killers”.

The multiplayer-centric “Legends and Killers” introduces nine new multiplayer maps, eight new playable characters, new trophies and achievements, and a new weapon: the fairly awesome looking tomahawk. The DLC is available on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network today, and it will cost $9.99.

The remaining announced DLCs will follow the lead of “Legends and Killers”, and unlike the previously released “Outlaws to the End” expansion that was free, the upcoming DLCs will all likely feature a similar $10 price tag- although that is still unofficial for the possibly ironically named “Free Roam Pack”. No release date yet on the remaining DLCs, but Rockstar has issued details on each:

GTA 6 may be far away, so Rockstar gave GTA 5 a fresh coat of paint
Grand Theft Auto 5

With Grand Theft Auto 6 now just months away, Rockstar Games is giving longtime Grand Theft Auto 5 players a reason to revisit Los Santos. The company has announced that owners of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of GTA 5 will receive a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.

The move comes as Rockstar ramps up excitement for GTA 6, which is currently scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Previously, upgrading from the older console versions to the current-generation release required a separate purchase, typically costing around $10. Beginning Thursday, however, eligible players will be able to move to the newer version at no additional cost.
