Original Story:Epic Games Store has offered many big games for free so far as part of its weekly giveaway policy, but the biggest one is probably going to happen tomorrow.Grand Theft Auto V Premium Editioncould be in your EGS library for free if the rumors turn out to be true.

Reported byGamePressure, a highly reliable source has informed them that Epic Games Store will be offeringGrand Theft Auto Vfor free as of tomorrow for one week. This means you can grab it for free and keep it forever in your library. While the source’s name has been kept as a secret, no other well-known insider has neither confirmed nor denied the rumor.

It wouldn’t be the first time Rockstar Games and Epic Games making a deal if the rumor turns out to be true. Last year,Red Dead Redemption 2was launched exclusively for Rockstar Games Launcher and Epic Games Store, one month earlier than its release on any other PC platforms such as Steam. Besides,Grand Theft Auto Vhas appeared onXbox Game Passa few months earlier and removed from the service last week. So, it might be Epic Games' turn to populate its platform thanks to a great deal with Rockstar Games.

That said,Grand Theft Auto Vstill showsgreat performance in the number of sales, despite the fact that it was released nearly six years ago for the current-gen platforms.The game’s constant content update for the online parthas kept it alive for a long time, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see many people playing it on the next-gen consoles in the near future.

According to a report by Jason Schreier,Rockstar Games has already started working on the nextGTAgame, but it’s still in the early stages of development and we’re years away from its launch. However, some other insiders believe that the nextGTAwill arrive sooner than expected.
