L.A. Noire details its first downloadable content

If you have already managed to burn your way through the 20 odd hours of L.A. Noire and are left with an empty place in your life, fear not. Rockstar has announced plans to release all the downloadable content that was offered as a pre-order bonus, as well as a few new additions to go with it.

From now until June 14, you can purchase the Rockstar Pass for $10/800 MS points, which is less than half of what the seven pieces of DLC would cost individually. Once you have the pass you can then download all the current and upcoming DLC for L.A. Noire. Rockstar is also promising a special gift for those that purchase the Rockstar Pass before the 14th, after which the cost will increase, although the new price has not bee announced.

With the pass, you can immediately download two additional cases, two new outfits, and one challenge along with a free outfit & weapon. Then on June 21, you will be able to download a new arson case, “Nicholson Electroplating”, followed by a vice case called “Reefer Madness,” available on July 12.

Check out the clip below which details the four cases, two outfits and challenge that you can and will be able to play. L.A. Noire is available (click here for our review) on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

The seasoned engineer, who led the physics system on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, as well, knew that this type of physics system was uncharted territory.

PlayStation Plus’ most notable free April offerings come from Microsoft
Four players stand together in the 4v4 PvP mode of Minecraft Legends.

Sony outlined all the new offerings PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers can expect in April; surprisingly, Microsoft is the company behind two of this month's four offerings, Minecraft Legends, and the Overwatch 2 Mega Bundle.

On April 2, PS Plus can get those two things free of charge in addition to Immortals of Aveum and Skul: The Hero Slayer. Immortals of Aveum is a single-player shooter where players use magic instead of weapons. Although the thing it's most notable for is flopping upon its release, Immortals of Aveum is still a solid shooter that you might have missed out on, and you should give it a shot now that you can get it through PS Plus. Meanwhile, Skul: The Hero Slayer is a tough 2D platformer roguelike that should entertain fans of that genre for quite some time.
