Take-Two Subpoenas Microsoft and Discord to Find GTA 6 Leaker
Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has taken legal
action to identify the person or people behind the latest Grand Theft Auto 6
(GTA 6) leaks.
The company has filed subpoenas
against Microsoft and Discord, asking them to provide information that
could help identify accounts connected to the leaks. The legal filings were
made in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
🎮 What Happened With the GTA 6 Leaks?
Several videos and other materials
believed to be from GTA 6 have recently appeared online.
The leaked footage reportedly
includes gameplay featuring Jason Duval, one of the game's protagonists.
Some clips show activities such as:
- 🚗 Driving vehicles
- ✈️ Flying aircraft
- 🔫 Combat
- 🎮 Other gameplay scenes
The leaks appeared shortly before
Rockstar's planned official extended preview of GTA 6. Some leaked material has
already been removed following copyright complaints.
🕵️ Who Is CyberLeek?
The leaks have been associated with
an online persona or group known as CyberLeek.
Some leaked videos and materials
reportedly contained CyberLeek branding, including watermarks and promotional
material.
However, it is important to remember
that the identity of the person or people behind CyberLeek has not been
officially confirmed.
There have also been fake accounts
and online speculation surrounding the name, so claims about the leaker's
identity should be treated carefully.
⚖️
Why Is Take-Two Subpoenaing Microsoft?
Take-Two wants Microsoft to provide
information that could help identify the people associated with the CyberLeek
persona.
According to reports about the court
filing, Take-Two is seeking:
- Internal Microsoft investigation records related to
CyberLeek
- Information that could identify the people behind the
account
- Relevant account information
- Potentially related Microsoft/OneDrive data
The company is essentially trying to
follow the digital trail left by the people involved in the leaks.
💬 Why Is Discord Also Involved?
Take-Two has also asked Discord
to provide information connected to accounts and communities associated with
the leaked GTA 6 material.
The filing reportedly seeks
identifying information connected to relevant Discord accounts, including
information such as:
- Account details
- Registration information
- Login information
- Phone numbers
- Linked accounts
- Device-related information
- Relevant communications or content
The purpose is to help Take-Two
determine who was behind the unauthorized distribution of its copyrighted
material.
📅 September 4 Is an Important Date
The subpoenas reportedly give
Microsoft and Discord until September 4, 2026, to provide the requested
information.
That does not mean the leaker
will automatically be identified on that date. The companies could potentially
raise legal or procedural issues, and any information provided could require
further investigation.
🚨 Take-Two Is Taking the Leaks Seriously
This is not the first major security
incident involving GTA 6.
In 2022, Rockstar suffered a
major breach in which a large amount of early GTA 6 footage was leaked online.
The latest incident shows that Take-Two continues to take unauthorized GTA 6
material very seriously.
The recent leaks are particularly
significant because they reportedly include footage from a relatively advanced
version of the game.
🎬 GTA 6's Official Preview Is Coming Soon
The timing of the leaks is
especially interesting because Rockstar is preparing an official GTA 6
extended preview.
According to current reports, the
official extended look is scheduled for August 27, 2026. GTA 6 is
currently scheduled for release on November 19, 2026.
This means fans may soon get an
official look at the game instead of relying on leaked footage.
🔐 What Happens Next?
The investigation is still
developing.
The likely next steps include:
- Microsoft and Discord respond to the subpoenas.
- Take-Two reviews any information provided.
- Investigators attempt to connect online accounts to
real-world identities.
- Additional legal action could follow if individuals are
identified.
- Copyright takedowns may continue against websites and
platforms hosting the leaked material.
For now, there has been no
confirmed public arrest of the alleged CyberLeek leaker. Claims circulating
online about specific people should not be treated as confirmed unless
supported by reliable sources.
📝 Final Thoughts
Take-Two is clearly escalating its
response to the latest GTA 6 leaks. By going through the courts and requesting
information from Microsoft and Discord, the company is trying to identify the
people responsible rather than simply removing leaked videos from the internet.
The case also highlights how online
platforms can become an important part of investigations into major digital
leaks.
With GTA 6's official preview
approaching, the coming weeks could reveal much more about both the game and
the people behind the leaks.
