Microsoft Teams Up with Take-Two to Crack Down on GTA VI Leaks
Take-Two has been served a subpoena by Microsoft in an effort to identify and prosecute the individuals behind a series of high-profile leaks related to Grand Theft Auto VI. The leaks, which have been spreading on platforms such as X and YouTube, include footage from the game's development build.
The subpoena, filed in New York City, calls for Microsoft, along with other companies including Discord and Google, to produce evidence that could lead to the arrest of the leakers. It is unclear at this time what involvement Microsoft has had in the investigation, although the company has stated that it is working closely with Take-Two and Rockstar Games to support efforts to protect creative works and intellectual property.
The leaks have had a significant impact on Take-Two's share price, which has dropped by 2% over the past week. However, the company remains confident in its ability to address the situation and ensure that the game is launched as planned on November 19, 2026. The launch will be exclusive to Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
