Twitch, a popular livestreaming platform, experienced a significant disruption shortly after the premiere of the Grand Theft Auto 6 extended look trailer on Netflix. The trailer, accessible for co-streaming by content creators including Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed, allowed many Twitch users to view it without a Netflix subscription.
Twitch's Status website reported multiple major outages affecting web, chat, and video functionality. Despite the recovery, outages warnings remained. Currently, approximately 180,000 viewers were watching GTA 6 live streams, while 80,000 were watching GTA 5. Twitch has acknowledged receiving reports of impacted services, which could include chat issues, login difficulties, and search problems.
They are currently investigating the matter. The statement does not explicitly confirm whether the outage was caused by high user activity during the GTA 6 trailer premiere. A PR representative for comment has not been reached yet.
