Red Dead Redemption Getting Double and Triple XP For the Holidays
Written Friday, December 23, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

From midnight eastern time this evening through until January 2nd 2012, Rockstar is laying on boosted XP in Red Dead Redemption, rewarding multiplayer activity across all game modes in the seminal open-world western.

There'll be double XP for Red Dead Redemption, Undead Nightmare and obviously the GOTY Edition too, with triple XP promised for the holiday weekends, which means playing on Xmas Eve and Xmas Day or New Year's Eve and New Year's Day will net you three times the experience points.

So this Xmas you can give the gift of rough justice to the denizens of Red Dead's frontiers, with some buckshot to the face. Merry Xmas, ya lily-livered prairie dogs!

I have a question: If I downloaded Undead nightmare and the other 2 not-free DLCs of RDR some time ago, and then gave back the disc to it's real owner (I borrowed it lol), and now I download just the full game from the PSN will it all work the same way? Like if I had the disc?

This game has to have had the most DLC this year at good pricing and must have had stuff like this more than any other game this year too, I may have to try and see what its like.

It's the simple gestures like this that shows the gaming community you care about your product. More companies need to take notice and follow in rockstars footsteps. Kudos.

@10: There are better ways for game developers to show appreciation for their consumers than minor relief from ridiculous grinding trophies.

I loved the online too. I have 100% already but I still love this game. Awesome and a lot to do! With triple XP, all the stuff you do is going to be a lot more rewarding too! What's not to like?

Finally they re-patched the glitch for 1/2 and 1/3 of the xp that I should be getting! Too bad it has such long periods of not working. :p

It's not Xmas, it's Christmas. You seem to go out of your way to put an X there each time. Are you an atheist or are you afraid of something? Either way I think it's in poor taste. If you don't want to give props to baby JC than just don't use the context. Don't call it anything because when you ignore the significance of this day you just look weak.

boosting is cheating. but this isn't boosting. about that comment about them holding extra xp twice a month. is that true? if so that would be nice. i wish assassins creed: brotherhood would do that. i'm already done with the multiplayer on assassins creed: revelations.

Is there still a good online community for Red Dead? I def. plan on getting the GOTY edition of this and hoping some people will still be playing once I do.

@41 the MP is still strong.
I got to legendary rank in a day with 2x XP so 3x would be great.
I may give this a go just to rank a little more and have some fun

I managed to start from level 0 and got to 50 in this week! Perfect time to do it. x3 experience is definitely helpful. I basically repeated Pike's Basin over.
