The preload for Grand Theft Auto 6 on November 10 caused record-breaking internet traffic spikes, with providers in the UK and Denmark reporting all-time high data volumes ahead of the game's November 19 launch. Virgin Media O2 in the UK saw broadband traffic surge 51% higher than the previous week during early morning hours, while Denmark's GlobalConnect reported nighttime traffic spiked roughly 50% above normal.
