14 DAY TRIAL // Rockstar has just confirmed that it's updated the Social Club infrastructure to allow crews built in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online or Max Payne 3 to support up to 1,000 players, as opposed to just 300.
GTA Online allowed all GTA 5 owners to engage in all sorts of multiplayer activities and, just like in Max Payne 3, they could form via the Rockstar Social Club online crews and gain certain benefits.
Now, Rockstar has confirmed on its Newswire that the member cap of crews has been raised from 300 to a whopping 1,000.
The studio recommends that all crews start recruiting more players as special benefits are available, such as more RP in GTA Online, not to mention access to a brand new Crew Head to Head Playlist.
"With Crew headcount now reaching four figures, it's also a perfect time to get familiar with the recently released Crew Head to Head Playlist challenge feature. To initiate a Crew Head to Head, you'll need to create a Playlist that does not contain Vehicle Deathmatches, Survivals or any Jobs that require more than 2 teams."
"Head to My Playlists in the Online menus and you will see the option to start a 'Head to Head (BETA)' by clicking the right stick on your game controller. From the lobby screen you can go ahead and invite other players from your own Crew, Friend's Crew or from Skill Matched Crews. You'll need to have some cash in your wallet to set the wager - the minimum is $1000 - but the ultimate Crew bragging rights are worth much more."
What's more, the studio has also revealed that, on Friday, February 7, it will also host a special live stream in the Crew Head to Head playlist, so groups interested in participating should get in touch via the Newswire.
