Get ready, for the deal of the century…. Grand theft Auto 5 is free ladies and gentlemen. FREE!

As of yesterday, Epic Games announced that the premium edition of Grand Theft Auto 5 will be free until May 21st, 2020. Its regularly priced at $29.99 and even during quarterly Steam sales, you cannot beat free. Along with receiving a game key, you can redeem 1 million dollars in bonus cash to dispose of however you like in GTA online.  Spend it all by doubling down at a blackjack table? Or spending responsibly and buying starter packs to pave the way to make more money. The choice is yours.

Yesterday the Epic Games store was flooded with users trying to get their hands on GTA and ultimately crashed the site. I found myself refreshing the page along with thousands of other users waiting for the flood gates to be let open. The site outage lasted about 8 hours but seems to be running smoothly today and fingers crossed for the duration of the promotion.

After playing GTA5 quite awhile ago on PS4, I think its time to get back to the grind on PC and try not to spend all my money at the casino or fancy clothing options.

Definitely a must-own game and it's awesome that now everyone who might want it can get and play it, but...I don't imagine it was cheap for Epic to secure GTA V as a freebie, and I can't help but think that money would be better spent on them improving their infrastructure and fleshing out the features to their client.  I can't be the only person snagging the free games but still refusing to buy games through the Epic Games Store because Steam remains the better all-around experience.
