How it plays
Friends form a posse of up to seven, set up camp together and ride out to bounties, hunting trips, moonshine runs and showdowns against other posses, while the online story missions take up to four.
Sessions are shared with other players and progress comes slowly, so it suits a group that plays regularly.
Rockstar stopped major updates in 2022.
Each player needs a copy on the same platform family; consoles run the PS4 and Xbox One version.
