Take-Two Interactive has filed multiple subpoena petitions in the Southern District Court of New York seeking records from Microsoft and Discord related to the recent spread of leaked GTA 6 gameplay videos. The petitions, filed August 20, ask for information tied to online accounts involved in posting and sharing the leaks ahead of the game's November launch, including user data and any associated OneDrive or Xbox account details.
One petition references a GitHub repository where infringing content was posted and gives Microsoft until September 4 to turn over internal business and investigative records tied to a persona known as "cyberleek," including information sufficient to identify the user or users behind it. Discord faces the same deadline to produce identifying information for accounts active in specified servers between June 1, 2026 and the present, including account IDs, registration emails, IP addresses, phone numbers, linked connections, device identifiers, and any GTA- or Rockstar-related content from linked OneDrive accounts.
The Discord request names handles including "CYBERLEEK," "CINEMATICROCKSTAR," and "Surfer24k" (along with alternate handles "cyberleek_west" and "surwest"), as well as servers including "Ødyssey.gg," a public "Odyssey" brand guild, and the editors' server for GTA 5 streamer Matthew "Matt" Judge, known as DarkViperAU. Judge responded on X saying he was confused to be named, stating the server referenced isn't his editors' Discord, that it contains no leak clips, and that Rockstar has not contacted him directly. He speculated the leaker may have referenced a comment he made about the leaked footage.
The identity of the person or group behind the leaks, who has used the Cyberleek alias, remains unknown, and Rockstar Games has not commented on the situation. The leaked clips revealed new features and previously unseen elements of GTA 6's world and mechanics. They were circulated alongside a manifesto criticizing industry practices such as digital pre-orders and paywalled or "fake" DLC, while also apparently being used to promote a cryptocurrency meme coin that could benefit whoever is behind the leaks.
Separately, Take-Two's stock took a hit following the leaks, with its share price falling from around $248 to a low of $233, wiping out roughly $2.83 billion in market capitalization over two days. However, the company's overall market cap remained above $43 billion throughout, and the drop was comparable to other recent fluctuations, such as a dip to $229 on August 6 that was followed by a rebound to $242 the next day. By the time of reporting, Take-Two's share price had recovered to $241, pushing its market cap back up to nearly $44.9 billion—within about $1 billion of its pre-leak level, suggesting the leak's financial impact on the company has been limited despite its scale.
