Whoops! It looks like the official Epic Games Store Twitter account recently leaked that Grand Theft Auto V will be free until May 21. This is quite the surprise since Rockstar Games has been promoting its own storefront in recent months. You can watch the trailer recorded by Wario64 on Twitter.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber, and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the American government, and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other. Explore the stunning world of Los Santos and Blaine County in the ultimate Grand Theft Auto V experience, featuring a range of technical upgrades and enhancements for new and returning players.

This is definitely a great reason to download the Epic Games Store on your PC!
