Take-Two Launches Legal Hunt for GTA 6 Leaker

Take-Two Interactive is pulling the legal levers of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to unmask the anonymous individual known as Cyberleek. By subpoenaing Microsoft and Discord on August 20, the parent company of Rockstar Games aims to dismantle the infrastructure behind the unauthorized release of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay footage.

Take-Two Launches Legal Hunt for GTA 6 Leaker

The filings in the Southern District Court of New York demand comprehensive user data, including IP logs, phone numbers, and device identifiers, from specific Discord servers and GitHub repositories. This aggressive move confirms the legitimacy of the leaked material, which has circulated across social platforms for days. Take-Two’s legal team explicitly labeled the distributed assets as stolen, demanding the total removal of repositories hosting the files.

Cyberleek has maintained a steady stream of clips since August 18, including footage that suggests the leaker possesses a playable version of the highly anticipated title. Beyond the copyright breach, the situation has taken a bizarre turn as the leaker promotes a memecoin, soliciting funds from the gaming community to dictate future release schedules. With the official launch of Grand Theft Auto VI set for November 19, Rockstar Games faces the fallout of a development process marred by persistent security breaches and a promotional cycle effectively hijacked by the anonymous actor.
