GTA V, which is one of the most commercially successful video games of all time, is now available for free to download and own forever on the Epic Games Store. However, it seems that even Epic wasn’t expecting the number of people flocking to the store to claim their own copy of GTA V.
As demand for the free copy of GTA V skyrocketed, unable to handle all the visitors, Epic Games Store servers are all down right now for the majority of people. It came as a surprise to no one since GTA V is still one of the most popular games on Steam.
Even though GTA V’s initial release was back in 2013 on the older generation consoles, with the introduction of GTA online paired with constant content updates, this open-world title still has a healthy player base that enjoys the game in all its glory.
GTA V is still one of Rockstar’s flagship products as it still brings in a ton of money every year with their games as a service policy. No one ever imagined that Rockstar Games would actually give away free copies of the game. Somehow, Epic Games convinced Rockstar with some deal that they couldn’t refuse.
