Grand Theft… Horse? Rustler Free on Epic Games Store Until January 29

Epic Games Store kicks off the week with a hilariously chaotic freebie: Rustler (Grand Theft Horse), a top-down open-world action game that mashes up classic GTA gameplay with a wildly inaccurate medieval world, is yours to claim for free until January 29 at 10:00 AM ET. Log in at the Epic free games page or direct Rustler page to add it to your library permanently—no catch.

Developed by Jutsu Games and published by Games Operators and Modus Games, Rustler (released February 18, 2021) puts you in the role of “The Guy”—a bald, nameless thug navigating feudal injustice, witch hunts, and the Grand Tournament. Steal horses (the medieval cars), wield swords, crossbows, turds, or holy hand grenades, complete twisted quests, or just wreak havoc in villages. Hire bards for dynamic battle tunes (punch them to change the song), pimp your horse, join the Round-Earthers, or drift carts. It’s packed with Monty Python-style humor, pop culture nods, and anachronisms—like getting towed in a “NO HORSE ZONE.”

Free on the Epic Games Store this week: a medieval take on Grand …

The game earns “Mostly Positive” reviews on Steam (79% from over 1,100 users), praised for its satirical chaos and old-school top-down action, though some note clunky horse controls. Runs smoothly on modest hardware:

Minimum Specs:

• OS: Windows 7
• CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
• RAM: 8 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GTX 780
• Storage: 5 GB

Recommended:

• OS: Windows 10
• CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
• RAM: 12 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1060
• Storage: 5 GB

This replaces last week’s Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness – Deluxe Edition, which ended today. Next up: Definitely Not Fried Chicken from January 29 to February 5—perfect timing for more absurd open-world shenanigans.

Epic teased it perfectly on X: “Grand Theft… Horse? 🐴 Get Rustler for FREE until January 29.” Fans are already piling on, calling it a “medieval GTA parody” steal while waiting for GTA 6.
