Will Grand Theft Auto 6 break the internet?

Back in September 2025, the launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong crashed the digital storefronts of Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam, as players who had waited over eight years for a follow-up to 2017's Hollow Knight rushed to download the highly anticipated sequel. The wait for a sequel to Grand Theft Auto 5 has been even longer – some 13 years – and the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 will be orders of magnitude bigger than Silksong's.
