GTA 6 Legal Subpoenas Target Microsoft and Discord as Leak Battle Escalates

Take-Two Interactive has asked a U.S. federal court for records from Microsoft and Discord as it investigates the spread of alleged Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks. The requests add a legal dimension to the latest wave of gameplay clips and maps circulating online, although the identity of the person behind the leak has not been established.

Kotaku reported that Take-Two filed subpoena requests seeking information connected to Microsoft and Discord. The company says copyrighted GTA 6 material was distributed through online channels and wants records that could help identify accounts or users involved in sharing it. The filings are requests for information, not a finding that Microsoft or Discord caused the leak.

Axios reported that an anonymous user known as LEEK had posted purported clips and other material. Rockstar Games has not officially confirmed the leaked content, and the company has not publicly authenticated the videos or maps. That leaves open the possibility that individual items may be incomplete, altered or unrelated to the final game.

The dispute has nevertheless affected the online conversation around GTA 6. Take-Two’s legal filings give the publisher a formal route to seek account information while preserving its copyright claims. The subpoena process may require the platforms to identify records, challenge the requests or respond under the deadlines set by the court.

The legal action arrives ahead of a planned Netflix-related reveal reported for Aug. 28, which has added to speculation about the game’s next official marketing beat. A formal announcement from Rockstar or Take-Two would be separate from the leaked material and should be treated as the authoritative source for release details.

Readers searching for a GTA 6 legal subpoenas update should distinguish between court filings, platform responses and social-media claims. At this stage, the confirmed development is that Take-Two has sought records from Microsoft and Discord. The filings do not publicly identify the alleged leaker, and no official statement has confirmed every item being circulated.
