Game Informer's website and application experienced widespread crashes today following the release of its exclusive 14-page cover story preview for Grand Theft Auto VI. The surge in traffic, driven by high anticipation for the new details, overwhelmed the publication's servers.
The situation was exacerbated by the announcement that the extensive preview would be made freely available to all users through Game Informer's app. This move, intended to broaden access, led to an immediate and intense influx of visitors attempting to view the highly sought-after content, ultimately causing the platform to go offline.
