- Take-Two has filed subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to unmask the people behind recent GTA 6 leaks.
- The company wants to identify whoever is behind the alias “Cyberleek” and other related accounts active on several Discord servers.
- Rockstar has not directly addressed the leaks, and its plans to showcase an extended preview remain on track.
Take-Two Interactive is stepping up its fight against the latest Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) leaks, moving beyond simply having leaked material removed and now seeking to uncover the people behind them.
Rockstar Games’ parent company has reportedly filed several subpoenas in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, targeting Microsoft and Discord for information about accounts allegedly involved in sharing the leaked content. The company says its goal is to identify the alleged infringers and take further action to protect Take-Two’s copyright.
Take-Two is seeking internal business and investigative records related to the individual known as Cyberleek that could help identify the user, users, or entity operating under that alias. According to the subpoenas, Microsoft has until September 4, 2026, to submit the required materials. The description even mentions a GitHub repository where Take-Two claims unauthorized content was published.
However, the company is not pleased with only knowing the email address linked with an account. It demands, among other things, account IDs, registration emails, registration IP addresses, IP addresses of previous logins, phone numbers, linked accounts such as Google or Xbox, and device identifiers, including MachineGuid and data related to Microsoft accounts.
Furthermore, it requests OneDrive content related to Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar Games, or Cyberleek. The goal appears to be straightforward: to reconstitute the leaker’s digital trail by cross-referencing identities, connections, devices, cloud storage, and activity across multiple services.
Take-Two is also collecting information on accounts that have communicated on specific Discord servers from June 1, 2026, and the present. The identities identified include CYBERLEEK, CINEMATICROCKSTAR, and Surfer24k, as well as other accounts such as cyberleek_west and surwest. Included are communities such as Ødyssey.gg and its public server Odyssey, as well as a server affiliated with the publishers of the well-known GTA content developer DarkViperAU.
Cyberleek hasn’t only published videos. The site affiliated with the disclosures also published a manifesto condemning some industry practices. They criticized digital pre-orders and the freezing of finished content due to payments or alleged DLC.
Rockstar has yet to issue a thorough public response about the latest batch of leaks. Meanwhile, the schedule remains unchanged, with a new, extended look at GTA 6 set for August 27 on Netflix. The game’s release date is still slated for November 19, 2026.
The justification for these leaks is to use them as an example to publicly protest the industry’s current state. That is, a period when traditional media will be phased out in favor of digital games, in which the buyer owns nothing and will always need an internet connection to play. Not to mention the unexpected PlayStation and Xbox server outages. This showed that players were unable to access their digital game catalogs during the disruptions.
