- Grand Theft Auto 5 is available as a free download for the next 48 hours under a new Rockstar promotion.
- The giveaway coincides with GTA Online's "Motor Madness" event, which is also running for 48 hours and includes in-game bonuses.
- Rockstar is leaning on a game that still sells more than a decade after launch, helped by years of updates to both GTA 5 and GTA Online.
- The promotion arrives before Grand Theft Auto 6's November release, which is initially planned for consoles only.
