User blog:2ks4/Triple XP session Wednesday, March 16, 2011

Rockstar hinted that the next Triple XP multiplayer session will be on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 16, 2011 in a couple of Twitter responses today. They also indicated that the Rockstar developers will be playing on PSN (at least) during the session. "Afternoon" is open to interpretation, but was included in a response to a user (below) from Los Angeles as "afternoon your time."

Past "surprise" sessions have lasted two hours and have been officially announced via Twitter and Facebook earlier the same day. Based on customer feedback, Rockstar has planned the session times to be convenient to various audiences (generally meaning early to late evening), with past sessions targeted at North America and Europe. Rockstar indicated that various future sessions would at least be targeted to these regions as well as Australia.

"Keep your eyes peeled this Wednesday... RT @Jalapeno_Juice Any chance of TRIPLE XP for #RedDeadRedemption soon?"
