Take-Two issues subpoenas to identify GTA 6 leaker CyberLeek

Take-Two Interactive has initiated legal action to identify the individual or group known as ‘CyberLeek,’ responsible for a series of unauthorized Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leaks. The company filed DMCA subpoenas in a U.S. federal court, requesting that Microsoft and Discord provide user data, IP addresses, and account information to unmask the leaker.

The leaks, which include high-quality footage of characters like Jason Duval and various environments in the state of Leonida, have been accompanied by a cryptocurrency promotion. The leaker has used the footage to drive interest in a specific memecoin and has issued manifestos criticizing digital-only storefronts and locked DLC. Some analysts suggest the leaks may be a sophisticated marketing tactic, though others point to the suspicious financial activity surrounding the associated crypto token.

Despite the disruption, Rockstar Games is moving forward with its scheduled marketing campaign. An extended gameplay presentation titled ‘Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look’ is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on August 27, 2026, before being released on YouTube. The game is currently slated for a global release on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
