Overview
- An anonymous group called 'Cyberleek' posted alleged Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay in mid‑August and those clips spread widely, prompting Take‑Two to open a federal investigation.
- Take‑Two initially served broad DMCA subpoena requests to Microsoft, Discord, X and YouTube for telemetry and account records to identify leakers and related users.
- On August 28 Take‑Two filed a new, narrower subpoena request that targets one previously identified Discord user and one additional user and asked the court to keep the request sealed.
- The company withdrew its earlier YouTube subpoena as its probe evolved, and the court has not yet ruled on the sealing motion or issued the targeted Discord subpoena.
- The ongoing circulation and crypto‑linked monetization of the leaks complicate takedowns and raise privacy and evidence‑preservation concerns for platforms and ordinary users.
