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.

We are currently experiencing high traffic on the Epic Games Store.

We are aware that users may be encountering slow loading times, 500 errors, or launcher crashing at this time and we are actively working to scale. We'll provide an update as soon as we can.

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.
