To unleash this juggernaut into the world, Battery and Havas Media set off a frenzy of speculation about upcoming titles in the vault with an unignorable campaign in 20 markets across North America, LATAM, Europe, and APAC, for a four-week blitz. On the first day, the store traffic was so insane that we had to pump the brakes on advertising because the site crashed in the first two minutes after getting 40 million requests per second, far beyond any of our projections. Overnight we saw 4x the number of new account sign-ups, and in that first week after we announced GTA 5 we drove a 245% increase in PC players.
