Actually crashed the store from sheer demand.
Right now, you can get Grand Theft Auto V for free over on the Epic Game Store. As per usual, you have a week to get it. If you don’t have an Epic Games account, you’ll need to make one, but that’s no big deal.
What is is the fact that normally, Epic’s free offerings go free on Thursday. And so did GTA V. The problem was that this is probably the biggest free game they’ve given away. And despite the fact that it’s been out for 7 years, people flooded the store to get it, causing the store to crash for several hours.
That said, things seem to be working now. So if you want it, you can get it here. Do, however, note that this promotion ends on the 21st of May.
