GTA 6 Cover Story Crashes Game Informer App

Game Informer's exclusive GTA 6 cover story crashed its website and app due to overwhelming traffic. The 14-page feature is now free and includes new details like tropical storms.

Did you try to load Game Informer today and get hit with an error? You're not alone. The outlet's website and app crashed the moment its massive GTA 6 cover story went live, leaving fans scrambling for access.

Game Informer dropped a 14-page exclusive preview packed with new info on GTA 6. To make matters worse (or better, depending on how you look at it), the story was free for everyone through the app. That meant a tidal wave of traffic hit the site instantly. The crash lasted about an hour before users could finally start reading.

Once inside, fans found plenty of juicy details. The biggest confirmation? GTA 6 will feature tropical storms like hurricanes. That's something the community has been speculating about for ages, and now it's official.

This isn't the first time we've gotten a big GTA 6 preview. Earlier this summer, a bunch of outlets and creators had exclusive coverage during Rockstar's 27-minute gameplay reveal on Netflix. That event spread the attention around, giving everyone some breathing room. This time, though, Game Informer absorbed all the hype alone, which explains the meltdown.

As for what's next, we don't know when the next GTA 6 news beat will drop. Rockstar has teased that it'll share more about the game's radio stations and music in the coming weeks. Fans are also hoping for one last trailer before launch.

Either way, the wait is almost over. GTA 6 is finally just a little over one month away from launch. So keep your eyes peeled, and maybe bookmark Game Informer for when the servers recover.
