Take-Two recently experienced a $2.8 billion drop in market value and has filed multiple subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The company is now legally requesting user data from both firms to help identify the individual or group responsible for leaking confidential GTA 6 gameplay footage online, known as CyberLeeks.
In the days leading up to GTA 6’s Extended Reveal on Netflix, CyberLeeks, a well-known leaker, posted several clips showing parts of GTA 6 gameplay. After remaining silent for a short period, Take-Two formally issued subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord on August 20 in the New York court.
The parent company of Rockstar Games is demanding that Microsoft and Discord disclose details about the leaker, including account IDs, registration email addresses, registration and last login IP addresses, phone numbers, and connected accounts.
Specifically, the subpoena requests: “All identifying information related to user accounts that have communicated with the listed Discord servers from June 1, 2026, to the present. For each account, please provide associated device or telemetry data where any of the specified tools or files were found on the device.”
In addition, the subpoena seeks: “For each account returned, the account ID, registration email, registration and last login IP addresses, phone number, linked connections (such as Google, Xbox, etc.), any related device identifiers (like MachineGuid or MSA), and content related to Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar, or Cyberleaks stored on their OneDrive account.”
