It's probably something mundane like AAA releases come with more preparation for peak traffic.
If the services weren't preparing for absurd traffic for this game, they were downright negligent.
I'm surprised they don't have some form of automatic scaling.
The only AAA game I could see pulling some traffic again is battlefield 6. And even that one's a gamble - but so far open beta was surprisingly good.
GTA 6?
It's hundreds of GB download size might slow people down.
