    It turns out the Epic Games Store couldn’t keep up with the demand of giving away “Grand Theft Auto 5” (GTA 5) for free. Both the store and the launcher had gone offline due to this. Epic had even gone to twitter to announce the problem and let people know that they are working on it.

    We are currently experiencing high traffic on the Epic Games Store.

    We are aware that users may be encountering slow loading times, 500 errors, or launcher crashing at this time and we are actively working to scale. We'll provide an update as soon as we can.

    It had gotten so bad it even started to affect other Epic servers as well. That being Fortnite, they even went to twitter to address the problem as well. 

    We're investigating issues on PC and Mac that may impact Launcher logins and in-game purchases.

    But it seems to be that the store is back up and running again. And if you do launch the store you’ll be greeted with a window of GTA 5 Premium Edition for free. This is interesting timing too because Xbox Game Pass has just replaced GTA 5 for Red Dead Redemption 2. But nonetheless if you haven’t already go ahead and download this fantastic game.
