GTA 5 free on the Epic Games site: how to download it

GTA V is available for free from May 14 to 21, 2020 on the Epic Games store. Here’s how to download it

A real bombshell: GTA 5 for free on the Epic Games store (the software house that created Fortnite). This is neither a joke nor a fake news, but it has been announced by the same company, publishing a post on its Twitter account (although then it was deleted). The game will be available for free from 5 p.m. on May 14 until Thursday, May 21, then it will go back to pay again.

Once you redeem the coupon to download the video game for free, the title will remain free forever. This is not just a seven-day trial, but an actual gift. It is certainly not a novelty for Epic Games, which for several months now has been giving away one or two titles a week to its users, but it is the first time that the game as a gift is so important. It should be remembered that GTA 5, which was released back in 2013, has been at the top of the best-selling titles list for years, thanks to an online mode that has extended its life.

How to download GTA 5 for free

The game will be free from 5pm on May 14 and will remain available until May 21, 2020. To download it, you just need to have an account on the Epic Games store and redeem the free game. You have to click on the banner of the video game, a new page will open in which you have to click on Get. In this way, the game will be added to your library and you’ll be able to download it for free. In order to get GTA 5 for free you must activate the two-factor authentication on your Epic Games account, in case you haven’t already done so. If, for example, you have an account on Fortnite, then it means that you have already activated this feature.
