GTA 6 Leaks Prompt Take-Two to Seek Subpoenas for Microsoft, Discord Data

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has filed court papers in an attempt to obtain data from Microsoft and Discord concerning individuals suspected of leaking information about the highly anticipated game, Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). The filing, made with the US District Court in the Southern District of New York, seeks subpoenas for Microsoft and Discord to provide information related to suspected GTA 6 leakers.

The stakes are high for Take-Two, as GTA 6 is expected to be a major success, leading competitors to release their products before or after its November 2025 release. The leaked copies, which include audiovisual content, artwork, images, dialogue, and other creative elements, have raised concerns about copyright infringement. Take-Two lists multiple Discord user accounts and data points it is seeking, such as message logs, IP access logs, email addresses, phone numbers, linked accounts, and device identifiers.

Microsoft's request is limited to details from the GitHub repository hosting GTA 6 leak information. Both companies want the requested data by September 4. Discord and Microsoft have stated they will review and comply with valid subpoenas when received. The leaks began in mid-August, with a short gameplay clip posted by group CyberLeek.

Nine gameplay videos have since been posted, showing Jason, one of the game's protagonists, performing various activities in the game world.
