GTA 6 makers subpoena Microsoft, Discord, and Github over stolen content
Grand Theft Auto VI maker Take-Two Interactive subpoenaed Microsoft and Discord to identify the leaker known as Cyberleak.
The creators of Grand Theft Auto VI have served two Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord, seeking to identify a leaker known as Cyberleek. The leaker has been posting gameplay footage of the upcoming video game, which has overshadowed Rockstar's promotional plans. Take-Two Interactive Software, the parent company of Rockstar Games, filed the subpoenas on August 20 in the Southern District Court of New York.
The subpoenas specifically request information to identify the users responsible for posting Take-Two's copyrighted content online, targeting Discord users, servers, and GitHub repositories. One subpoena includes a copy of a take-down request sent to Discord, stating that the posted material reproduces copyrighted, unreleased game assets without authorization.
The leaker has been posting a steady stream of leaked gameplay videos, which have been widely shared on X, Reddit, and file-sharing platforms. The filing also names specific Discord users and account IDs associated with the leaker, including "CYBERLEEK" and "CINEMATICROCKSTAR," as well as Discord servers hosting the leaked material.
The subpoenas request all identifying information associated with all user accounts that were members of the Discord community servers and channels listed during the time period from June 1, 2026, to the present.
