Spectrum Offers Free Internet Speed Boost Ahead of GTA 6 Pre-Load

Spectrum is giving customers a no-cost internet boost this month to help them get GTA 6 downloaded more quickly.

The company said earlier this week that existing users can take advantage of a free Gig Speed Lift from November 9th through November 30th. That means players may be able to finish the download in about 30 minutes. So, if you plan to buy the game on launch day or later in November, this could save plenty of time. Or, if you simply want to see your pre-load wrap up at impressive speed, that works too. You can check the instructions for activating this offer if you use Spectrum.

Pre-downloads for GTA 6 begin in November 10, and the game is expected to be very large when it comes to file size. Rockstar has said the game is 212 GB, which amounts to nearly one-fourth of the average PS5’s storage, not counting the operating system and other required console space. Since fans expect a huge open world packed with places to explore and things to do, the size makes sense. Because of that, players will likely want to use the nine-day pre-load window to the fullest or take advantage of this Spectrum agreement so they can perform as soon as possible.

we’re just a fortnight from the launch of GTA 6. Rockstar shared 39 new screenshots from the game earlier today, spotlighting Vice City, with Jason and Lucia taking action, and plenty of criminal chaos. The images also showed that rapper Kodak Black is set to appear on the game as an NPC, which has led to speculation that more music artists may be included as well. Names like Dr Dre, Phil Collins, and others have already shown up in past GTA titles, so it would not be surprising to see a few famous faces in a modern Vice City.

It remains uncertain what else Rockstar is planning as launch day gets closer, especially since it rolled out what seems to be the final trailer back in October. Some fans are hoping for news about PS5 Pro enhancements before release, but beyond that, the long promotional journey seems to be nearing its end.
