GTA VI Leak Investigation Moves to Court as Take-Two Seeks User Data
The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) game leak has taken a new turn as Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar and the game's publisher, files court applications to uncover the identity behind the leaks. The request is aimed at Microsoft and Discord, seeking user data that could expose CyberLeek, who claims to possess a full working version of the game.
Leaks of major games before their release have become common in the gaming industry, but GTA VI's case has taken a legal turn. Several videos from the highly anticipated title were posted online, with the latest on August 21. Take-Two is now seeking to identify the individual behind these leaks through court-ordered subpoenas.
The company has filed two applications under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in federal court in New York, targeting Microsoft and Discord. The information sought goes beyond a name or email address, including IP addresses used during account registration and logins, phone numbers, connections to Google and Xbox accounts, OneDrive content, and device identifiers.
The request is not limited to the three accounts suspected of being involved in the leak but includes details about every user on three Discord servers from June 1, 2026, through Monday. This could mean that a significantly larger number of users may have their information handed over if the request is granted in full.
