GTA 5 Epic Games Store Free Game Giveaway And Fortnite Hampered By Crashes, “Error 500”
With Grand Theft Auto 5 being given away for free on the Epic Games Store today, the digital store has been receiving a substantial amount of traffic. It is getting so much traffic, in fact, that it has completely crashed before the game was even made available.
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.— Epic Games Store (@EpicGames) May 14, 2020
The official Epic Games Store Twitter account announced that it was experiencing higher-than-normal traffic, which can result in a few different issues for customers. These range from long loading times, the launcher completely crashing, or a “500” error message. GameSpot even had error messages appear in different languages when we attempted to connect.
GTA 5 is certainly popular enough to solicit that much attention, and it’s free until June 11 on the Epic Games Store. The game is one of the most profitable pieces of entertainment in history and still routinely shows up on monthly top 10 sales charts, despite the fact that it released more than six years ago. On PC, mods are enabled, making it a (potentially) even crazier version of the game than the console editions.

- Star Wars Arcade1up Sit-Down Cabinet – See it at Walmart for $415
This is a slight variation on the existing Star Wars Arcade1up cabinet, meaning it includes the same classic Star Wars arcade games: Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Way back in the day, and I’m talking WAY back, when you went to an arcade, you always hoped there’d be a sit-down version of one of the Star Wars games instead of the standing-only. There’s not any difference between the sit-down and standing versions, gameplay-wise, but it just feels better to play them sitting down. I can’t explain it. It just does.
Rather than the riser included with the stand-up cabinet, this one comes with the pieces required to assemble the bench. After it’s set up, boom: you’re playing Star Wars sitting down, baby!
The Star Wars arcade games are absolute delights, and if you have a stimulus check or other money laying around you’re looking to spend on something to finish off your game room, I recommend it. If you don’t have $415 to spend, might I suggest a Star Wars arcade game shirt from the IGN Store instead? Or better yet, just get them both.
