Take‑Two Subpoenas Microsoft and Discord to Find GTA 6 Leaker

The publisher asked a federal court to compel account and telemetry records to identify who posted gameplay clips that may come from a playable build.

Overview

  • Take‑Two filed multiple DMCA subpoenas in the Southern District of New York on Aug. 20 seeking data from Microsoft and Discord as part of a legal effort to identify the person or group behind recent GTA 6 leaks.
  • The subpoenas demand detailed records including account IDs, registration emails, IP and last‑login addresses, phone numbers, linked accounts, device identifiers and any OneDrive content related to GTA or CyberLeek.
  • A self‑identified group calling itself CyberLeek has posted several alleged GTA 6 clips and a map while promoting a crypto meme coin, and one video showing a character spelling “LEEK” with bullet holes suggests possible access to a playable or working build.
  • Platforms have been issuing takedowns but copies, fake AI clips and torrent links claiming full builds continue to spread online and present a high risk of malware and scams for users seeking leaked files.
  • The legal move aims to protect Rockstar’s marketing and launch plans, including an official Extended Look on Netflix on Aug. 27, and follows past high‑profile GTA leaks that led to criminal and civil action against perpetrators.
