Red Dead title update next week

Rockstar has trumpeted the arrival of a Red Dead: Redemption title update "by the end of next week".

The official blog says multiplayer connectivity and the Mo Van Barr bounty are top of the fix-list.

Those struggling to connect to the game's multiplayer online servers ought to try a couple of Rockstar's suggestions on the blog first.

As an apology for any ongoing problems, Rockstar will release the Savvy Merchant and Expert Huner outfits this summer for free.

There's also more free DLC coming later this month in the shape of co-op mission pack Outlaws to the End.
