Take-Two subpoenas Microsoft and Discord seeking GTA 6 leakers’ IP and account data

Take-Two Interactive filed subpoenas in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 23, 2026, seeking account records from Microsoft and Discord as it pursues the source of recent GTA 6 gameplay leaks. The company is attempting to identify the individual or individuals behind the online name "CYBERLEEK" and related accounts that posted the footage.

Multiple GTA 6 gameplay videos surfaced online in the run-up to an Extended Look scheduled for August 27, 2026, and Take-Two has intensified efforts to halt further dissemination. The subpoenas were lodged to obtain records that could link accounts spreading the leaks to real-world identities, with reports saying the company appears to be seeking more than just email addresses.

Take-Two’s filings target both Microsoft and Discord for account-related information connected to the alleged leakers. The requests were made in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as part of an investigation into who is responsible for circulating the confidential material.

According to reports, the subpoenas cover the period beginning June 1, 2026, and list specific usernames including Cyberleek, CinematicRockstar, Surfer24k and other aliases. The legal action also reportedly seeks records from Discord communities where the leaked GTA 6 content was allegedly shared, aimed at identifying everyone involved in distributing the material.

Rockstar Games’ parent company has said it wants to unmask those responsible for the leaks and to protect its copyrighted material. Take-Two’s move follows a wave of online posts attributed to accounts using the names above, which circulated ahead of the planned extended gameplay reveal.

Despite the leaks, reports indicate Rockstar and Netflix remain on schedule to release the GTA 6 Extended Look on August 27, 2026. Fans who viewed the leaked footage reacted online and are anticipating the official reveal.

Take-Two’s subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord are part of an ongoing effort to trace the originators of the leaks, and the Extended Look for GTA 6 is still expected to take place on August 27, 2026.
