Take‑Two has filed subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to obtain user data that could expose GTA 6 leaker CyberLeeks as the case hurtles toward the Extended Look premiere on Netflix.
Legal pressure mounts over leaked GTA 6 footage
On August 20, Take‑Two’s legal team filed the documents in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The request demands full disclosure of Microsoft and Discord accounts that communicated with the Discord servers linked to the GTA 6 leaks during June 1, 2026–present. Specifically, Take‑Two requests account IDs, registration emails, registration and last‑login IP addresses, phone numbers, linked connections (e.g., Google, Xbox), machine‑level device identifiers, and any OneDrive content referencing Grand Theft Auto or Rockstar.
Context: the leaker and the looming Netflix event
Shortly before the GTA 6 Extended Look will air, CyberLeeks has posted a series of gameplay clips, stoking fan speculation. The leaker’s name has become synonymous with premature Grand Theft Auto 6 content, prompting the publisher’s aggressive response. Rockstar’s parent company, now crippled by a $2.8 billion market‑cap loss, is leveraging legal avenues to recover control over the narrative and protect the game’s launch integrity.
Request specifics and the broader impact
The subpoenas urge Microsoft and Discord to provide all identifying information associated with members of the implicated Discord server, plus any telemetry records that show the presence or use of tools linked to the leaked material. Take‑Two additionally seeks content tied to the GTA franchise from users’ cloud storage, making the legal action a targeted move against the leaker and any participating parties. Should the court compel compliance, the data could pinpoint the origin of the leaks, enabling the publisher to pursue civil remedies.
