Red Dead Online PS4 timed-exclusives
Free Moonshiner Band Expansion
Bar owners can start a band to help foster a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere while serving up your own shine with the Band Expansion, free to all PS4 players until January 21.
New Hideout: Beaver Hollow
Deep in the woods of Roanoke Ridge is the Murfee Brood, a backwoods problem of sorts that can be found in Beaver Hollow. PS4 players have early access to this all-new Hideout, and can clear out and rob the camp for rewards.
New Apparel and Emotes
Wheeler, Rawson and Co. has special offerings coming to their catalog specifically for PS4 players which include four new clothing items and five new emotes.
Clothing
Salizzo Double Bandolier: Many an outlaw prefers the double bandolier – because two bandoliers are twice as stylish. Naturally.
- Starrett Hat: A fashionable hat with contrasting oval crown and upturned brim. Each hat is finished by hand with a woven leather buckled band.
- Rulfo Boots: One of Wheeler, Rawson and Co.’s most attractive designs, featuring elaborate studding on the pull straps, shaft, and vamp. Cut only from high-quality leather.
- Gordillo Half-Chaps: Buckled half-chaps with studded panels and lavish fringes. Guaranteed to add grandeur to any outfit.
Emotes
- Hat Flick: Greet passersby with a casual flick of the hat
- Howl: Vocalize and advertise your acquisition of new territory, search for companionship, or utter loneliness in a primal, prolonged fashion.
- Jovial Laugh: A jovial, good-natured guffaw, grinning from ear to ear.
- Subtle Wave: Politely acknowledge friend or foe with this subtle and relaxed wave of the hand.
- You vs Me: An immediate and indignant offer to settle a situation immediately on-site through pistol fire or fisticuffs.
Alongside this new early access content, Photo Mode has been added on PS4, which lets you capture images from the frontier with the free form camera along with Filters, Stickers or Text.
In addition to Photo Mode, players on PS4 will also get:
- Story Mode Bounty Hunter Missions: track down wanted criminals Herman Zizendorf, Camille de Millemont and Bart Cavanaugh
- Story Mode Gang Hideouts: Take on the deadly Del Lobos gang at Gaptooth Breach and Solomon’s Folly
- Story Mode Treasure Maps: Landmarks of Riches and The Elemental Trail
- “To The Ends of The Earth” Story Mode Mission
- Weapons added to Story Mode: M1899 Pistol, Evans Repeater, High Roller Revolver and LeMat Revolver

Overwatch 2 Aims to Penalize Players Who Are Friends with Cheaters, Increased Voice Comms Monitoring
Blizzard is leveling up their efforts to thwart cheaters and misconduct within Overwatch 2, as the company aims to penalize players who are friends with cheaters and will amp up their monitoring of voice communications.
The company detailed this in the brand new update for its Defense Matrix Initiative, which is focused on curbing “gameplay sabotage, abusive chat, and cheating” stating their plan to come down on players who team up with cheaters, and more.
Blizzard admitted that cheating in Overwatch 2 is a problem and has “actioned over 50,000 accounts” since the game launched and starting in Season 3 they will be actively identifying players that purposely team up with players who are regularly flagged as cheaters, and will also face potential discipline.
Overwatch 2 will also have improved protection for streamers, as the issue of Stream sniping continues to be a problem, and in Season 3 they will be “introducing new streaming protection features that should be a huge step toward enabling content creators to share Overwatch 2 with their fans safely.”
Blizzard is encouraging players to report any disruptive or problematic behaviour in their matches.

EA Shuts Down Apex Legends Mobile, Stops Development on Battlefield Mobile Game
EA and Respawn Entertainment is shutting down their Apex Legends mobile game with the company announced that they will be sunsetting the title this May with EA adding that they have also stopped development on a mobile Battlefield title.
According to Respawn Entertainment, the decision to sunset Apex Legends was not an easy one to make but the company said that “factors” beyond its control have prevented it from “maintaining the high-quality experience and content” players deserve and expect.
Despite the game having a rather strong start, Respawn said that the content pipeline for the game began to “fall short of that bar for quality, quantity, and cadence.”
EA announced that they made the decision to halt the Battlefield mobile title as they wish to create “deeply connected Battlefield ecosystem” which made them arrive at the decision to “pivot from the current direction”
“We remain highly committed to unlocking Battlefield’s enormous potential,” the company said in the statement. “We’re hard at work at evolving Battlefield 2042 and are in pre-production on our future Battlefield experiences at our studios across the globe.”
