GTA 6 preloading causes internet connection issues in the UK

GTA 6 preloading is causing internet connection problems and heavy traffic for some users. Jeremy Chelot, CEO of Netomnia and YouFibre, said the game is causing issues with a Broadband Network Gateway, leading to congestion for people in the Yorkshire area of the United Kingdom. Chelot asked users to be patient while traffic is rebalanced.

Reports say internet service providers in several countries are also seeing traffic spikes due to the preload. These spikes may continue over the next few days and through the weekend as more players download the game before its November 19 launch. The arrival of physical copies in stores may also increase download traffic as players redeem codes.

Reports say GTA 6 has reached 9.69 million pre-orders and is the most pre-ordered game on the PS Store. Additionally, reports say the ending credits for GTA 6 are expected to last over 80 minutes.
