Social Club Revamped to v1.1

Published at 12:43 PM PST

Today, Rockstar has revamped Social Club to version 1.1. However, this update seems like a 2.0 update due to the many changes that Rockstar has made:

  • New section just for games
  • The news now has it's own section
  • You can now pick a nickname for use on Social Club
  • A friends list is coming soon where you can message your other friends
  • Message Wall is coming soon. We're not quite sure what the message wall will be. Perhaps a forum for fans to talk to eachother?
  • There is now a platform chooser under the games section when you check your stats, and;
  • Perhaps the most significant change is the site has been redeisgned, and is no-longer based entirely as an animated Flash website, which does make it significantly faster and easier to navigate around

There are a couple of things that people may not like, one the fact that they will have to relink their XBL/PSN accounts to Social Club, which really isn't a hard thing to do at all and secondly, anyone that was going to use ZiT and LAFM will have to wait untill the features are relaunched. Overall, Social Club seems to be shaping up to be a...social club!
