Abstract:
"GTA6" has been opened for pre-loading before its release on November 19. The download volume of approximately 212GB has promoted significant growth in network traffic in many European countries. A large number of pre-order players are downloading the game to PS5 in advance, and the game is also the most pre-ordered game on the PlayStation Store to date.
German network service provider 1&1 stated that on the night of November 9th and 10th, the connection traffic to PlayStation Network and Xbox Live reached 10 times the usual volume. Vodafone also observed traffic peaks during the same period. The business manager of GlobalConnect in Sweden said that local traffic increased by 50% on the night when preloading started; service providers in Denmark and Estonia also reported similar situations.
British Virgin Media O2 said that driven by the pre-loading of "GTA6", data usage and traffic both broke records on November 10. US operator Spectrum has launched a temporary speed increase event. Eligible users can upgrade to 1Gbps for free, and users who originally used the 1Gbps plan can upgrade to 2Gbps to shorten download times.
The data disclosed by each operator uses different statistical calibers and cannot be directly compared horizontally. However, these data show that the centralized pre-loading of "GTA6" has formed a cross-regional network peak before the official release.
