Significant spike in data traffic due to overnight downloading of 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's release. Internationally, Virgin Media O2 in the UK noted a 51.6% increase in data usage, peaking at 73.3% higher by 9 AM. GTA VI, the highly anticipated sequel from Rockstar, will be playable starting November 19, following the success of GTA V, released over thirteen years ago.
