Netflix, the world’s largest streaming service, is currently experiencing major technical difficulties. Known for its extensive library of licensed titles and original content, Netflix has been expanding into live events and specials in recent years. However, this hasn’t always gone smoothly. For instance, the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight on Netflix suffered from similar issues.
A notable example occurred during a special presentation on the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). Scheduled to air at 3 PM EST on Thursday, August 27, millions of gamers eagerly awaited their first official look at the game’s gameplay since its announcement four years ago. Unfortunately, users reported issues accessing Netflix or watching the extended look due to the high volume of viewers tuning in.
While some users successfully watched the presentation, it remains unclear how widespread the problems are.
