Rockstar has just issued updates onSteamfor a pair of games which are a decade or so old, namely Max Payne 3 and LA Noire, making all the DLC for these titles available for free.
The update ditched 32-bit support for both these games, but as mentioned the main change is the gifting of every bit of DLC to those who own Max Payne 3 and LA Noire, which is a welcome move, obviously.
AsPC Gamerspotted, these updates were actually applied on the quiet, with no fanfare, and took place when Rockstar’s entire library of games was temporarily pulled fromSteam(and strangely, Midnight Club 2 briefly went back on sale, but only for an hour or so – if you recall, that title was pulled a few years back).
LA Noire is still a well-liked detective action-adventure, even after all these years, and indeed we wereseriously impressed by the VR Case Files version of the game(although note, that doesn’t get the free DLC, and the VR remake has considerably fewer missions than the original game).
Max Payne 3is also very well-regarded among the gaming community at large as something of a classic shooter with a nifty implementation of bullet-time.
