Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you must’ve heard by now that Grand Theft Auto V is free for PC on the Epic Game Store until May 21. Reports were rife about this since yesterday, but as you can imagine,  a fair few were skeptical of the news.

GTA is no ordinary gaming series, and GTA V is simply among the very best of the best. In fact, it was also the best-selling game on PS 4 in April, even years after its launch.
