Take-Two Interactive is taking legal action over the latest wave of Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks, subpoenaing Microsoft and Discord for information that could help identify the people behind the spread of unreleased material, according to a report from Kotaku.
The move comes after new GTA 6 footage, images, and other alleged game-related content began circulating online. Take-Two and Rockstar Games have already worked to remove some of the material, but the publisher is now going further by seeking records connected to accounts and online activity believed to be involved in distributing the leaks.
According to Kotaku, the subpoenas are connected to an individual or group operating under the name “Cyberleek.” Take-Two is seeking information from Microsoft that could help identify the people associated with relevant accounts and services. The request reportedly includes account registration information, IP addresses, linked details, and other records that may help investigators trace the source.
Discord has also been subpoenaed for information connected to accounts and communities allegedly involved in sharing or discussing the leaked Grand Theft Auto 6 content. Instead of relying only on copyright takedown notices, Take-Two appears to be attempting to identify the people responsible for uploading and distributing the material.
- Take-Two has subpoenaed Microsoft and Discord.
- The investigation is linked to the latest GTA 6 leaks.
- The requests reportedly target accounts associated with “Cyberleek.”
- Take-Two is seeking identifying information and account records.
- New alleged GTA 6 footage and map material recently appeared online.
- Rockstar and Take-Two have already taken steps to remove leaked content.
- The legal action could help identify the source behind the latest leak campaign.
The latest situation is particularly significant because some of the newly circulated material has been claimed to show a playable version of GTA 6. However, the age, authenticity, and exact source of the footage remain unclear. As with previous leaks surrounding Rockstar’s biggest upcoming release, videos and screenshots can spread quickly across social media before takedown requests begin removing them.
The “Cyberleek” name has reportedly also been connected to online activity criticizing aspects of the modern games industry, including digital pre-orders and DLC practices. Reports have further linked the campaign to the promotion of a cryptocurrency meme coin, although the exact relationship between these activities and the leaked material remains uncertain.
Take-Two’s decision to subpoena Microsoft and Discord shows how seriously the publisher is treating the latest leaks. Copyright takedowns can remove individual posts and videos, but subpoenas may allow the company to gather information that could identify the people operating the accounts behind them.
With Grand Theft Auto 6 scheduled for release in November 2026, the game remains one of the most closely watched releases in the industry. That attention also makes it a major target for leaks, fake footage, and unauthorized distribution of material claiming to come from Rockstar’s development process.
For now, it remains unclear whether the records requested from Microsoft and Discord will directly reveal who is responsible. However, Take-Two’s latest legal action suggests that the company is pursuing more than just the removal of leaked GTA 6 content and is attempting to trace the source behind its distribution.
