PlayStation Plus members can play Red Dead Online to get some free loot

If you’ve got a PlayStation Plus subscription and you’re an avid Red Dead Online player, you’ll be pleased to know that simply playing the game will net you a free treasure map and some lures to keep you fishing.

To be more precise, all you have to do is log into Red Dead Online and play before June 1st to receive the free North Clingman Treasure Map along with a nice selection of swamp, lake, and river lures.

While it’s not a huge gift and veteran Red Dead Online players will more than likely have enough lures to fish the entire ocean dry with, free stuff is still always nice, especially if you’re only just starting out.
