Take-Two Targets Microsoft and Discord in GTA 6 Leaks Investigation
Take-Two Interactive is escalating its efforts to determine who is behind the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) gameplay leaks. The company has filed two DMCA subpoenas seeking information that could identify the person or people behind the 'CyberLeek' persona, which has been linked to the leaks.
The subpoenas target Microsoft and Discord, requesting extensive account and device information, including names, IP addresses, phone numbers, device identifiers, linked Google and Xbox accounts, and OneDrive data. The requests cover accounts that communicated in three named Discord servers between June 1, 2026, and the present.
Take-Two has also set a September 4 deadline for the requested information. One of the subpoenas specifically requests Microsoft's MachineGuid identifier, a Windows-generated value that can remain stable across hardware changes unless the operating system drive is replaced.
The DarkViperAU Discord server has drawn attention, with Australian content creator Matthew 'DarkViperAU' Judge denying any knowledge of the alleged leaks. The Ødyssey.gg server was created on June 19, 2026, while the DarkViperAU server dates back to January 2017.
Take-Two's latest legal action suggests the company is serious about determining how the unreleased game footage was obtained and distributed. Additional GTA 6 footage continues to surface, with a sixth gameplay video reportedly appearing on August 21.
