Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) is not currently free on the Epic Games Store. PC Gamer’s giveaway history lists it as a free game from January 22 to January 29, 2026; that offer has ended. Epic’s weekly giveaways change, so check its Free Games page for the active offer.

When was Rustler free on the Epic Games Store?

PC Gamer’s giveaway history records Rustler as free from January 22 through January 29, 2026. The dates refer to that past promotion, not an ongoing offer. Epic’s official product listing confirms the game is on its storefront, but does not establish that the historical giveaway is still active.

What is Rustler (Grand Theft Horse)?

Rustler is a single-player, top-down open-world action game that applies familiar Grand Theft Auto-style mischief to a deliberately inaccurate medieval setting. You play as a peasant known as The Guy, taking on missions or wandering freely, stealing horses, fighting guards with weapons such as swords and crossbows, and encountering anachronistic jokes. Jutsu Games developed the game; Steam lists Games Operators, Modus Games, and PlayWay S.A. as publishers. Steam gives its release date as February 18, 2021.

#1 Best Overall
Rustler (Nintendo Switch)
  • Grand Theft Horse: Wreak havoc in a medieval world; Use swords, spears, turds - whatever will get the job done
  • Wear the Crown: As a poor peasant, you'll need to get creative in order to win the Great Tournament. Form weird alliances, double cross your foes, and dig up dinosaur skeletons (because, why not?)
  • A Medieval Sandbox: How you progress is up to you; Spend your time completing quests, wreaking havoc and having a laugh at the expense of others
  • A Lot of Horsin' Around: Shoot cows into the sky, drag your neighbors through the mud, toss some holy hand grenades, or draw fancy pictures in the field with a plow
  • Minstrelsy of Power: Hire a musical companion to play the tunes you like and add a powerful soundtrack to your adventures

Steam describes it as “an open-world, top-down action game paying tribute to the good old GTA style and gameplay, fusing it with a historically inaccurate medieval setting.” See the Steam store listing or Epic’s Rustler listing for the game’s storefront details.
