GTA 6 Is A Massive Download, But You May Qualify For A Free Speed Boost To Download It Faster

Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on November 19, and the game’s file size, 212GB, is truly massive. One internet company, Spectrum, is turning this into a marketing moment for its own services by offering members a “free Gig Speed Lift” in November to help download the game faster.

Available November 9-30, the offer has “no cost and no strings attached,” the company said. The offer is fairly straightforward: Customers with a qualifying internet plan and compatible equipment can use the My Spectrum app to opt in. Then on November 9, customers will have their download speeds upped to 1Gbps. If you’re already on a plan offering that, you’ll get boosted to 2Gbps.

Spectrum said the boost should allow people to download GTA 6 in under 30 minutes.

The free upgrade offer runs through November 30, so that also covers Thanksgiving, when you might have a bunch of people in your home and want faster internet. It also covers the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping holidays.

After November 30, the speed boost gets pulled from your account with no further action required on your part. The whole idea here is that Spectrum thinks you’ll enjoy it so much that you’ll pay to upgrade on a more permanent basis.

GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. For more, check out the exact GTA 6 worldwide release times to find out when it unlocks where you live.
