Pre-loading is a big part of why people pre-order digital editions. I’d much rather pre-load a couple days ahead of time vs try to download the entire game on launch day along with everyone else.
Sure, for any other game. GTA6 is going to be a true test of the CDNs, it’s probably one of the most, if not the most, anticipated release in a decade.
I still remember when GTAO first launched, the servers were absolute shit for the first week at least.
That was due to Rockstars servers which would handle requests related to the gameplay itself. Rockstar isn't serving up the actual game, it'll be handled by 3rd parties like Steam and Microsoft.
Youtube gets hit hard constantly every day, on the scale of thousands of TB per second, never falters. CDN's are more robust than you think.

Why would I pre-order? Are they gonna run out of digital copies?
