The free DLC announced for Red Dead Redemption cannot be released as planned due to platform restrictions, announced Rockstar, instead it has been added to a paid-for release on September 21st.
The Free Roam pack previously promised couldn't be delivered due to "platform networks' restrictions on numbers of free packs we can give away," according to Rockstar, so instead it's been added to a Liars and Cheats pack which will be released for 800 Microsoft Points on 21st September.
"The Liars and Cheats Pack will contain a great range of new highly-requested features to expand the Free Roam world including Multiplayer Poker and Liar's Dice, as well as a brand new Competitive Multiplayer gameplay mode," says the press release.
"The Liars and Cheats Pack will also include the content previously announced as the Free Roam Pack. The Free Roam Pack was originally planned as a free download, but due to the platform networks' restrictions on numbers of free packs we can give away, we have instead added it to The Liars & Cheats Pack as one Free Roam release."
