Epic Games Gave Away GTA V for Free, But Its Store Couldn't Handle the Rush of Users
It seems you'll have to wait to get the game.
Epic Game Store held a mega sale where GTA V can be obtained completely for free. However, the service could not withstand the flood of users that descended on it. This is reported by Engadget.
Grand Theft Auto V has become a game that can be obtained completely for free from the Epic Game store until May 21, provided the user is willing to install the Epic Games Store launcher on their computer.
Among the store's other attractive offers: 50% discounts on Control, Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Outer Worlds. In addition, the company is giving everyone a free coupon that can be used to get a $10 discount on games that cost $14 or more. When you use the coupon, you get another one just like it after the purchase.
However, you will have to wait to try to download the store. The massive influx of users trying to get GTA V for free overloaded the service to its limit. As soon as the news about the free game spread online, players flooded into the store and overwhelmed its traffic. The result was a error 500 pop-up when opening it.
Grand Theft Auto V is already 7 years old (it was released in 2013), but it is still the latest installment in the series published by Rockstar Games.
Earlier, Epic Games announced the next version of its game engine — Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) — with a stunning demonstration of its work on the PlayStation 5.
