      Very unlikely. Almost no game as transferable saves

    • +2

      Think they've stopped that years ago shortly after it came out on PC.

  • +2

    cool. my first gta game

    • No way! Really? Were you not interested or too young to be allowed to play?

      The visuals haven’t aged well, but give San Andreas and Vice City a go.

      • +2

        GTA 2 was my first GTA game
        Oh boy, so much different back then lol

        • +2

          I remember the original and the 1940s expansion packs. THose were awesome running under 3dfx.

          • @Piranha2004: Hack hack hack… hack hack hack… hack hack hack :)

            I can remember grabbing a copy of the demo off a CD attached to those computer magazines. It included the first level and a six minute timer. I can't remember what I did but ended up clearing the timer off so I could play the whole first level. Was fun back in the day!

            You know the Krishna's? I once managed to rig up a bus with a bomb, set it off right next to them and literally wiped them all out at exactly the same time. Score went from yellow to red, thinking it was a million or two instantly. 'Congratulations, go onto the next level' or something.

            My all time greatest frag was I was in a firetruck, my mate shot a machine gun at it blowing it up while I was inside. I managed to get out at just the right time for it not to affect me. Slid UNDER the fire truck, got out my rocket launcher (meanwhile he was well and truly off my screen), shot it and managed to get him square in the back as he was running away! If I could play like that all day I would of been a GTA world champion. Literally could not repeat it, came down to incredible luck though! Those were the days… (this was on parallel? port multiplayer)

  • This is really cool

  • What a way to marketing epic store,
    10cent so rich

  • Literally bought this 2 days ago. Damn it. Ah well, I did buy the "premium" version though with all the extra cash, so I guess that's something.

    • +5

      The rumour is that the premium edition is being offered -

      The free edition of GTA V will release as Premium Edition. In addition to the game itself and access to Grand Theft Auto Online, it will also offer a lot of additional content. As usual, adding the game to the library during the promotion makes the game remain yours forever.

      • +10

        Lol way to kick a man when he's down

        • Loooool

          Well at least x…
          Actually this is x….

      • Probably explains why the various cash giveaways in GTA Online for now until it goes free. Only problem is the server capacity with GTA Online is pretty stupid with long waits to get in.

      • Well damn.

  • +5

    I dont have a PC but ill still get it just in case I ever do :)

    • +2

      A true Ozbargainer

  • Number of modded lobbies is going to increase like crazy. Can't wait for the money drops!

  • Wow, pity I played to death on this game.

    • You didn't think it was a Roguelike, did you?

  • -4

    Why I can't find it on Epic Game store?

    • -1

      likewise, cannot even find GTA5 in epic store.

      • +3

        Because it says tomorrow

  • +6

    Will this work with my electric PC? Thanks

    • +3

      Nah, only works for analogue PC’s, powered by wooden beads on sliding wires.

      • +1

        Don't forget about the potato power.

  • Tweet has been deleted?

    • +2

      Coz it is meant to be a "Mystery Game" - which unlocks later

      • Ahh ok thanks

        Wish it played on Mac ;(

        • What's stopping you from getting a Windows PC?

          • @Scythic: Atm $$$

            • @Twisty: A budget one should be more than enough to run GTA V tho
              I got an old Lenovo PC from work, juiced it up with an SSD, more RAM and a GTX 1050. It runs most game just fine and only cost me $300 in total. Me and my brother can do LAN party! :D

  • +2

    Waiting this long for it to be sub $5 paid off. :)

    • +5

      Only took 7 years…

  • Wow, that's crazy

  • -2

    I'm still weary of trusting any company that has been invested in by Tencent, especially Epic Games.

    • +1

      how much trust do you need to redeem a freebie from them?

      • +2

        More like how much info you need to give to redeem games.
        Two-factor authentication (2FA) is mandatory to redeem a game if you aren't aware

        • +1

          You guys use 2FA? I just make up a bogus account like Luke Skywalker or something, just to collect free games.

        • That's a fair point.
          In this case, they were happy to accept the email address that I used to make my Epic Account in the first place, so they aren't getting any information about me that they don't already have.

      • -1

        It's less about the trust. It's more I prefer people not to know I play so many games so I just setup an account with an alias.
        If I ended up losing those games, so be it.

        • +1

          What's wrong with people knowing you enjoy playing video games?

    • Also literally billions of people use tencents services so you're in good company

  • +1

    I was JUST about to buy this yesterday from CDKeys - the Premium Online Edition. Thank goodness I didn't.

  • I love it

  • Damn 925 upvotes in under 3 hours :O

  • They gonna introduce a Battle Royale mode once the freebies flood the market????

  • Isnt GTA V is from rockstar games? Epicgame selling it?

    • +23

      Yeah, sort of like EB Games sells games made by its sister company EA Games.

    • Will it shock you that they sell Red Dead 2

  • I wonder if there might be an official gta 5 announcement in the works. Unusual for them to give away such a popular game.

    • +4

      They want to hook you into GTA V online. That's where Rockstar make their big truck load of money.

      • +1

        I doubt many people who waited this long to get it for free would ever pay to go online

    • Its an old a cheap game, nothing special here, and Epic probably has a deep deal wouldn't be surprised if it included commissions from MTX, that we will never hear about.

  • +1

    GTA 6 lol

  • -2

    Will this be on Mac or work on Mac?

    • +3

      Won't be a Mac OS native version. It could work on a Mac since you can run bootcamp and Windows 10 on a Mac. I wouldn't bother if your Mac only has embedded Intel graphics.

      • -1

        bootcamp to run games is pretty hit and miss as well

        • How? It's just Windows on Intel hardware…

          • @krisjjorgensen: But its not, its a clunky version of windows on hardware that it wasn't made for.

            I couldnt even play GTA 3 on a 2019 Macbook pro with bootcamp, it rendered all wrong and just didnt work.

      • I have Intel UHD Graphics 617 is that good enough to run it?

      • I have Intel UHD Graphics 617 is that good enough to run it?

        • +1

          Honestly, no, unless you think 720p with lowest details + potentially some additional hacking to reduce graphics details further just to run it smoothly is worth the trouble.

          You have your Mac running Windows 10 through bootcamp yet? Most of the info on the Web on bootcamp isn't the fastest way to do it. Problem is, the fastest way to do it actually requires a PC running Windows 10 (directly expand Windows 10 files from the ISO image to a SSD dedicated for running Windows 10 - rather than split the partition).

          Get a PC if you really want to game properly.

    • +1

      Get a PC or a game console if you are serious about gaming. Gaming on Mac is just a half-arsed effort.

    • +8

      This game is R18+ kids shouldn't be playing it in the first place

      • Yeah, but in the real world…

    • +2

      i honestly cant tell if this is sarcasm or not…

    • +16

      If only there was some type of warning to tell parents what games are suitable for their kids.

      • +1

        What an R rating not enough information?

        • +2

          He forgot the /s

          • +1

            @tarken: I thought it was sarcastic enough to do without the /s

    • Forgot to turn on kid mode?

    • I played GTA 3 when I was a kid, and I don't have violent tendencies.

      MYTH BUSTED!

      Played Vice City, San Andreas, GTA IV (but not much right), and GTA V.
      Still not violent…

      Don't blame the game, blame the player…

  • Wow, fantastic

  • -6

    EPIC > Steam

    • +1

      Yeah, nah. It's great to get free games but I am very reluctant to give Epic Games my money or data (decent stake is owned by the CCCP through Tencent and possibly other holdings).

  • Have not played GTA 5 yet.. Hurray.. Time to start..

    Epic is getting better and better. Hopefully, they start a streaming service.

  • Gang Green

  • What are the most upvoted deals in ozbargain history?

    I've never seen anything higher than this

  • What are the chances the free game is NOT GTA V, but they stuck it up there knowing it would bring alot of views to their mystery freebie? since the tweet got deleted and all.

    :p

    • they probably just jumped the gun with the tweet, someone probably set the post time wrong.

  • +11

    I registered an account with ozbargain just to vote the OP

    • Hi

      • +2

        Hopefully we can say hi in GTA

  • Insane deal. Thanks for posting OP!

    now i know why they're called EPIC

    • +1

      Oh boy.
