Rockstar Games sent out a tweet stating just as much. But interestingly, the sudden spike in traffic in GTA V on PC is also causing issues to Rockstar Games Services, and the company’s own game launcher. At the time of writing, the company says that it has resolved the performance issues with both the game and the Rockstar Games Launcher.
— Rockstar Support (@RockstarSupport) May 17, 2020 It’s not really surprising that any of this is happening. GTA V is one of the biggest games of all time. Naturally, it being given away for free will draw unprecedented amounts of people to it, resulting in the spike in traffic.
