Rockstar Pursues GTA 6 Leaker Through Court Orders
21 Aug
Summary
- Take-Two Interactive filed DMCA subpoenas for user information.
- Discord and Microsoft are targeted in the quest to unmask Cyberleek.
- Leaked gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto VI has been widely shared.
Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. has initiated legal proceedings to unmask the "Cyberleek" who has been leaking Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay. On August 20, 2026, the company filed DMCA subpoenas in the Southern District Court of New York, specifically targeting Microsoft and Discord. These legal documents aim to obtain user information, including IP access logs and registration data, to identify the individual responsible for posting unauthorized footage.
The leaks, which began appearing online around August 18, 2026, consist of gameplay videos and map previews. Cyberleek has been promoting a memecoin alongside the leaks, encouraging community engagement for future content releases. This activity has overshadowed Rockstar's planned reveals for Grand Theft Auto VI, which is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026.
One subpoena demands all identifying information for users associated with specific Discord servers and channels, including message logs and IP access. Another targets Microsoft, the parent company of GitHub, requesting the removal of leaked content from a specific repository. As of August 21, 2026, the GitHub repository remains accessible.
