Hurry get GTA 5 now from this online store

| Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 |
If you're looking
for a good free PC game to play in this lockdown then you've come to
the right place. There are a lot of video games available in the
digital market like Steam, Epic etc that can entertain you. Gaming
PCs, especially powerful ones, may be more expensive than consoles,
but PCs have flexibility, moddability, and power unavailable in the
competition.
Now get on the
topic. Rockstar's wildly popular Grand Theft Auto 5 is set to be the
next free game on the Epic Games Store, but the online marketplace is
currently down as gamers around the world try to secure the hot title
for free. Epic Games acknowledged the issues on Twitter and claims
that it is "actively working to scale" in response to the
high traffic. They will update this story as soon as GTA 5 becomes
available to download.
How to get GTA 5 on PC for free
Do you really want to play GTA 5 on PC for free, then you'll need
to download the Epic Games Store launcher and create an Epic Games
account, which you can do at the official Epic Games website. From
there, simply scroll down to the 'Free Games' section of the store.
Based on the timer on Epic's site, GTA 5 should unlock on May
15. You'll have until May 21 to secure the
game for free. The Epic Store is having server issues at the time of
this writing, but we expect the game to appear by later today.
If GTA 5's Epic Store system requirements are anything like those
of the Steam version of the game, you'll need at least an Intel Core
2 Quad CPU Q6600, 4GB of RAM, an Nvidia 9800GT/AMD 4870 or better and
72GB of storage to run the game. But the recommended spec starts at a
Core i5 CPU, a GTX 660 or better and 8GB of RAM.
It's unclear if GTA 5 on the Epic Games Store will support
cross-play with the Steam version of the game, which is worth keeping
in mind if you plan on dabbling in the wildly popular and still
updated GTA Online.
