Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, is turning up the heat in its relentless pursuit of GTA 6 leakers. The publisher has issued subpoenas to two of the biggest names in tech — Microsoft and Discord — as part of a legal effort to unmask the individual known online as Cyberleek, the person allegedly responsible for recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks.
Take-Two’s Legal Dragnet Widens
According to the report, Take-Two has turned to DMCA subpoenas, a legal tool that allows copyright holders to compel online platforms to hand over information about users suspected of infringing their intellectual property. These subpoenas typically require companies to reveal identifying details such as real names, IP addresses, email addresses, and account records tied to the accounts in question.
Why Microsoft and Discord?
Discord has become a central hub for GTA 6 speculation, with entire communities dedicated to dissecting every rumor and screenshot. It’s also where much of the leaked material reportedly circulated before spreading to Reddit and social media. Microsoft’s involvement suggests the alleged leaker may have used the company’s services in connection with the leaked content, making its records a potential goldmine for investigators. If the platforms comply, Take-Two could soon have a real name behind the Cyberleek alias — and the publisher has a track record of following through with legal action.
Who Is Cyberleek?
Cyberleek emerged as a source of alleged GTA 6 leaks, sharing material that quickly set the internet ablaze. As with any leak surrounding Rockstar’s next blockbuster, the posts were dissected, debated, and reposted across countless forums and YouTube videos. Take-Two moved swiftly with takedowns, but the company clearly wants more than deleted posts — it wants accountability.
A Pattern of Aggressive Enforcement
This is far from the first time Take-Two has gone to war over GTA 6 leaks. The most infamous incident came in September 2022, when a teenage hacker linked to the Lapsus$ group released over 90 clips of early GTA 6 development footage — one of the largest leaks in gaming history. The perpetrator was ultimately caught and sentenced in the UK. Since then, Take-Two has shown zero tolerance, pursuing DMCA subpoenas against platforms hosting leaked material and issuing takedowns at a remarkable pace.
Why Take-Two Plays Hardball
The strategy makes sense when you consider what’s at stake. GTA 6 is arguably the most anticipated video game release of all time, with its trailers shattering viewing records within hours of going live. Every unsanctioned leak undermines Rockstar’s carefully orchestrated marketing campaign and risks revealing unpolished, out-of-context content that could shape public perception prematurely. For a title expected to generate billions in revenue, controlling the narrative isn’t vanity — it’s business. Sending a strong message to would-be leakers may also deter future breaches ahead of launch.
GTA 6: What We Officially Know
While leaks continue to make headlines, the official picture remains exciting: GTA 6 is set in the state of Leonida, home to a modern-day Vice City, and follows the criminal duo Jason and Lucia. The game is currently slated for release on May 26, 2026, following a delay from its original fall 2025 window, and will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
