Take-Two Goes Legal Over GTA 6 Gameplay Leak

A significant wave of alleged GTA 6 gameplay footage surfaced online recently, showing everything from combat sequences to what appears to be in-game basketball. Now Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive is taking serious legal steps to track down whoever is responsible.

According to court documents reported by GameSpot and Kotaku, Take-Two has filed subpoenas against both Microsoft and Discord in the South District Court of New York. The subpoenas are aimed at uncovering the identity of the individual or individuals who shared the footage online.

What the Subpoenas Reveal

The legal filings describe the leaked material as "copyrighted content" — wording that strongly suggests this was a genuine leak rather than fabricated or AI-generated footage. Among the clips circulating online, one showed the letters "LEEK" spelled out in bullet holes, apparently a calling card from the leaker known online as CyberLeek, who is believed to have access to an actual playable build of the game.

Key details from the subpoenas include:

  • Microsoft has been given a deadline of September 4 to hand over relevant user data
  • Requested information includes account IDs, email addresses, IP addresses, and phone numbers
  • The investigation extends to Discord users active on specific servers where the content was shared
  • The leaker was reportedly also promoting cryptocurrency alongside the leaked clips

What This Means for GTA 6

Take-Two's swift legal response signals just how seriously the company is treating this situation, and how much is at stake with GTA 6 still on track for its November 19, 2026 release.

For fans, this is a reminder that leaked footage — however tempting to watch — carries real legal and ethical weight. Whether the leak affects Rockstar's plans in any meaningful way remains to be seen. Keep an eye on our news section for further updates as this story develops.
