Rockstar Games has rolled out the latest update for Red Dead Online, with PlayStation 4 owners of the cowboy epic gaining early access to select content.

So, what's new? Well, for starters, there's a new Jawbone knife, which as you might have guessed was cobbled together from the jaw of a slain animal. You can grab it at below-board Fences located at Emerald Ranch, Rhodes, Van Horn Trading Post, Thieves Landing and Saint Denis.

Meanwhile, there's a landslide of new clothing and items available with the update, with PS4 owners getting early access to a massive 150 items including the Diamondback hat, the double-breasted Hartman jacket, the sleek cowhide Comstock boots and more. You can also lassoe yourself three new emotes while you're at it.

PS4 gamers also have exclusive access to the Special Series, which is arriving 'soon' and offers the latest early access modes. The first is called Open Target races, and sees 15 players slugging it out on horseback while ticking off checkpoints across the map. 

'Winning requires speed, proficiency with the bow and arrow, racing skills to beat your competitors and a killer instinct to cut down anyone who takes the lead,' says Rockstar.

Looking ahead, the developer confirmed that Red Dead Online will continue to grow each week, with new content such as the Evans Repeater rifle and three new Showdown modes in the pipeline.
