Significant spike in data traffic due to downloading GTA VI

VodafoneZiggo reported a significant increase in network traffic after midnight, with levels over 50% higher than usual, yet the network remained stable for users downloading the game. KPN also experienced a notable traffic rise of about 40%, although it is uncertain if this was directly linked to GTA VI. Internationally, data usage surged as well, with Virgin Media O2 in the UK reporting a 51.6% increase, peaking at 73.3% higher later in the morning. GTA VI, the highly anticipated sequel from Rockstar, is set to be released on November 19, following the success of GTA V, which launched over thirteen years ago.
