EVENT COUNTDOWN
Don't know when the event begins in your time zone? Check above in this article on the day of the event for a countdown.
HOW TO FIND ROCKSTAR
Start up multiplayer from the main menu. This will place you into Free Roam. Add one of the Gamertags above as a friend, and while you're waiting to receive an invite check out the chat and live stream on the multiplayer events page. Also feel free to play through a few rounds with other players while you're on.
HOW DOES FREE ROAM WORK?
Free Roam is the game lobby in Red Dead multiplayer. You can ride around the entire map with friends, take down Gang Hideouts and stake your claim at Land Grab points. We'll be forming posses and then heading into several game modes during the evening.
FORMING A POSSE
To start the game, invite your friends, form a posse and find Rockstar, follow these steps:
1. From the main menu, press 'Start' and then enter 'Xbox LIVE Multiplayer' by pressing the 'X' (blue) button.
2. Once in a Free Roam lobby, press the 'Back' button to open the in-game multiplayer menu.
3. Press the 'RB' button and then the 'Y' (yellow) button to 'Invite Friends'. Invite at least one friend into your posse using the 'A' (green) button.
4. Once your friends are in the game, press the 'Y' (yellow) button again to return to the 'Players' menu and select them with the 'A' (green) button to 'Propose New Posse' or 'Send Posse Invite'.
5. Once you and your friends are ready to go, start up the game mode we're currently playing. This can be found in the chat as the event rolls along.
As stated, pay close attention to the chat to know what game mode we're currently playing. See you in the event...

- on March 25 2012, 12:44pm@GTALAD4EVA Thanks for helping man.
- on March 25 2012, 11:26am@Player_27 There will be some Social Club updates coming soon to make this sort of thing easier. For now though, please email us at mouthoff@rockstargames.com and we can help. Cheers.
- on March 25 2012, 11:00amR* can't you make the process of deleting our social club account easier? Like to have an option to do it yourself without having to send a message to support. I mean even hotmail has that option to let you do it yourself ''account deletion''. Can't you implement a similar option as one new feature? Pls...it's easier that way. Why would you make things difficult when you can simplify them ? Thanks
- on March 25 2012, 3:15am@BudgetCross No that would be very unfair if winners were picked because of there skill. Rockstar are not like that. Winners get chosen by random, They will put there names in an automated machine, Or program, and it will randomly select the winners.
@Anyone / @R* - As you may know, I Record all of the Live Streams on the Social Club. I do it so that people who missed the event get a chance to see it. But, could anybody suggest a good screen program that i could use, An im using a basic screen recorder and it makes the Live Stream really laggy when i record.
Cheers in advance,
