Take-Two Targets Big Tech to Unmask GTA 6 Leaker

With unauthorized gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto VI flooding social media, Take-Two Interactive has escalated its legal pursuit. On August 21, the publisher filed subpoenas against Google and X Corp, demanding the identification of an anonymous leaker known as Cyberleek who continues to distribute protected assets online.

The legal filings in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York aim to compel tech giants to hand over account IDs, IP access logs, phone numbers, and device identifiers linked to the user. These requests follow similar actions taken against Microsoft and Discord, signaling a broad effort to trace the leaker’s digital footprint. The DMCA takedown requests explicitly name the account @cyberleek_ar_io and associated personas, including Surfer24k, as sources of copyrighted audiovisual content and unreleased game dialogue.

Despite the pressure, the leaks persist. Cyberleek has remained active, recently circulating clips showing a nudist colony and various carjacking sequences. While platforms like YouTube and GitHub have removed some infringing material—the latter following a request regarding a specific repository—the content continues to circulate across social media. Rockstar Games, which has been developing the title for over a decade, has maintained silence on the matter, leaving the court filings as the only window into their strategy to protect one of the most anticipated releases in gaming history.
