Take-Two says GTA 6 leak case is ‘rapidly evolving’: focus narrows

Take-Two Interactive says its GTA 6 leak investigation is narrowing. In recent US court filings, the publisher told the court the case is “rapidly evolving,” and that the work has moved past broad data requests into more specific legal action.

Those filings say Take-Two has identified one additional Discord user, pulled in more identifying information on another, and learned more about the Discord servers that may have been used to spread or coordinate the leaks. Earlier in the case, the company had asked Discord, Microsoft, and X for user data. It also dropped a subpoena aimed at Google and YouTube, which suggests that route was no longer necessary.

The company has also asked to seal its latest subpoena, so the people being examined aren’t tipped off and potential evidence isn’t deleted or destroyed. Reports connect the broader campaign to “Cyberleek,” which allegedly used stolen GTA 6 footage to push a memecoin and made about $250,000 doing it. That points to a money play, not fan hype.

For anyone following GTA 6 closely, the scale here stands out. According to reports, leaks that started in mid-August 2026 grew from an initial 15 clips into more than 90 videos spread across platforms. Rockstar Games called the leaks “heartbreaking,” and Take-Two Interactive reportedly lost $2.83 billion before bouncing back after the official Netflix gameplay reveal.

GTA 6 is still scheduled for November 19, and pre-loads begin November 12.
