Take-Two subpoenas Microsoft and Discord over GTA 6 leaks

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has initiated legal action to identify the source of recent Grand Theft Auto VI leaks. Following a series of unauthorized gameplay videos and map images released by a group known as CyberLeek, two federal judges in New York authorized subpoenas for Microsoft and Discord. The subpoenas seek user data, including IP addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers, to trace the origin of the leaked content.

The leaked material includes footage of characters like Jason, gameplay mechanics such as a basketball mini-game, and depictions of the Leonida region. Some reports suggest the leaker may have interactive access to a playable build, potentially running on a PC. The leaks have coincided with a period of market volatility for Take-Two, which saw a significant drop in market value following the incidents.

Despite the security breaches, Rockstar Games intends to proceed with its scheduled marketing timeline. A 30-minute special titled ‘GTA VI: An Extended Look’ is set to premiere on Netflix on August 27, with subsequent availability on YouTube and Rockstar’s official website.
