The Epic Games Store continues to give out free games to entice users to its platform, and this time, they've got a pretty big game to offer. Grand Theft Auto V is going to be available for free, starting May 14th. You'll have until May 21st to add the game to your account, and you'll get to keep it forever once you do so.

UPDATE: It appears the Tweet was not meant to go up quite yet, as it has now been removed from the official Twitter account.

I'm averaging 850 - 900kbs download speeds. So if you get 5mbs consider yourself very lucky.

After 20+ the same 500 error page finally got the game in my gaming library for later download
(And it always jumped to spanish language after the error page; lol)

I got them all and Farming Simulator really is the max to play

I still can't claim it, and mine also goes to spanish after the error.

Hmmmmm i'm not really sure. You might as well just try it though, the game is free after all.

I love how everyone is tryna download GTA... When I just added it for the coupon. Now I'm trying to download a different game.

i dloaded gta (have that on rockstar Launcher [Retail]) but got it on epic because .....why not lol

 

[tranceology3]

I'd get it if it WASN'T EPIC ONLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

Dude, I don't get what it is with all this tribalism. Epic is amazing for a consumer. I have over 30 free games from them. Yea some ill never play, but I have beat 5 on my list. I don't know how anyone can complain about a service giving away 100% free games.

They apparently took down the Tweet right as I was writing the thread.

Here's a screencap before they removed the post.

why would they remove it??

 

[antiNT]

why would they remove it??

They removed the tweet because it was posted too early at the time.

People who pirated the game are now rushing to get legit copies so they can play the official GTA Online. I reckon.

Maybe... (allthough my repack was something like 39GB)

You have just publicly admitted to having pirated a game.

 

[slaphappygamer]

I installed epic games launcher and installed gtaV. I click the shortcut for gtaV and now rockstar games launcher is installing. I love the continuity.

FFS!! CANT I PLAY WITHOUT SOCIAL CLUB LOG IN

This is total bullshit that we can’t play this offline. The captcha think I’m a robot because of too many wrong answers. I disconnected my laptop to get around it, but the game requires internet.

I know it’s a free game, but I now see why these launchers and the “internet required” games are so bad. I shouldn’t complain about the free game. I’m sure it’s great. Just make the door a bit easier to open so we can get in. Maybe a pirate copy has less interference.

 

[AlexMCS]

if it's not on Steam, I'd rather pirate it.
If it's a game that was ever given for free, I'd definitely pirate it, if interested.
