Once the Epic Games Store live, you can claim GTA V. Epic Games is now mandated people to have two-factor authentication turned on to claim free games.

Epic has given away dozens of free titles since the Epic Games Store launched in December 2018, and the company said in January that it plans to continue to give away free games through 2020.
