GTA VI Pre-Downloads Set New Internet Traffic Records in Europe - briefly|
| (hx) 10:25 AM CET - Nov,14 2026 | 
Gamers pre-downloading Grand Theft Auto VI pushed Europe's largest internet exchange to a new peak days before the game’s launch.
DE-CIX Frankfurt reached 22.30 terabits per second at 8:20 pm CET on 10 November, about 19% above its previous January 2026 record.
Across DE-CIX’s exchanges worldwide, traffic also hit a new all-time high of 33.01 Tbit/s.
Each copy of the game is a download of over 200 GB, with Rockstar listing sizes up to 212 GB.
Pre-loads opened on 10 November ahead of the 19 November release, and DE-CIX said major game launches can cause sharp traffic spikes, though it did not quantify exactly how much of the peak came from the game.
UK provider Virgin Media O2 also reported its busiest-ever day on 10 November, with peak traffic and daily data volumes both setting new records.
