What is GTA 5
Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the first main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV. Set within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, the single-player story follows three protagonists—retired bank robber Michael De Santa, street gangster Franklin Clinton, and drug dealer and arms smuggler Trevor Philips—and their attempts to commit heists while under pressure from a corrupt government agency and powerful criminals. The open world design lets players freely roam San Andreas' open countryside and the fictional city of Los Santos, based on Los Angeles.
The game is played from either a third-person or first-person perspective, and its world is navigated on foot and by vehicle. Players control the three lead protagonists throughout single-player and switch among them, both during and outside missions. The story is centred on the heist sequences, and many missions involve shooting and driving gameplay. A "wanted" system governs the aggression of law enforcement response to players who commit crimes. Grand Theft Auto Online, the game's online multiplayer mode, lets up to 30 players engage in a variety of different cooperative and competitive game modes.
Is there a legal way to get GTA 5 for free?
Yes. Microsoft will give it to you.
Microsoft runs a program called Rewards Points. Every day you can earn points by looking at:
- A pre-formed search query that uses Bing.
- A silly preference poll that will then show you a search query from Bing.
- A short quiz, which you can find the answers to with a background window searching Bing.
This will get you from 30 to 70 points per day, depending on the quiz. If you come back every day, you get free points just for showing up to the page to check. This takes less than 2 minutes every day. I have Cortana remind me to do it.
After you've registered, any query you run in your browser from Bing will give you 10 points. Same with mobile queries. They regularly run promotions that double the points from mobile queries.
Other program groups and software divisions at Microsoft advertise through this Rewards program. You'll get free points for all sorts of stuff they're currently promoting. Just open the page advertised.
You'll be able to get 300–500 points per day. With 30,000 points (usually less, they run specials) points you can buy your yearly Xbox Gold subscription. You'll want this to go online. Another 30,000 points buys a yearly Game Pass. (GTA V isn't in the Game Pass). With 4500 points you can buy a $5 Xbox gift card. With 5500 points you can buy a $5 Amazon gift card.
It's regularly $30 on the Xbox store. If you think that will take too long, wait for GTA V, or any other game, to go on sale on the Xbox Store, and use accumulated points to buy enough gift cards. I think I've seen GTA V as low as $15 in a sale for Xbox. Last week I purchased Red Dead Redemption for $10, through gift cards redeemed from Rewards points.
If you are buying for PC you don't need the Xbox subscriptions but you'll have to go through Amazon. Sales and used copies go for as cheap as $10 for GTA V.
The Microsoft Rewards program is a really great deal if you want things like games.

How to get GTA 5 on PC for free
In order to nab GTA 5 on PC for free, you'll need to download the Epic Games Store launcher and create an Epic Games account, which you can do at the official Epic Games website.
From there, simply scroll down to the 'Free Games' section of the store and select Grand Theft Auto 5. Note that you'll need two-factor authentication enabled to get your free game, which you can set up right here. Once that's set up, you'll have until May 21 at 11am ET to claim GTA 5 for free.
According to GTA 5's system requirements, you'll need at least an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600, 4GB of RAM, an Nvidia 9800GT/AMD 4870 or better and 72GB of storage to run the game. But the recommended spec starts at a Core i5 CPU, a GTX 660 or better and 8GB of RAM.
It's unclear if GTA 5 on the Epic Games Store supports cross-play with the Steam version of the game, which is worth keeping in mind if you plan on dabbling in the wildly popular and still-updated GTA Online.
The Epic Games Store has been doling out free games every month since late 2018, with previous notable giveaways including The Witness, Overcooked, the Batman Arkham Collection and Rayman Legends. But GTA 5 is by far the biggest freebie the service has secured yet, and could be the perfect antidote to your lockdown boredom.
