In a blink-and-you-missed-it tweet, Epic Game Store revealed that its next free game is none other than Rockstar’s magnum opus, and one of the best-selling video games of all-time, Grand Theft Auto V.
The digital storefront announced the giveaway on Twitter, before swiftly rescinding the tweet. The internet moves fast, however, and bargain-hunter @Wario64 has already snapped the image for posterity. According to the original tweet, EGS will be giving away GTA V to all customers from today through May 21. Quite a coup considering the open-world crime sim’s staying power, which has seen it sell an amazing 120 million copies since its 2013 launch.
While this news can technically still be considered a “rumour”, as there is no longer any direct confirmation from Epic Games Store itself, all signs point to it being a done deal. We will update you should Epic or Rockstar confirm the news once again.
