CyberLeek keeps posting GTA 6 footage as Take-Two begins legal hunt
Take-Two has moved from removing leaked GTA 6 footage to trying to identify the person or group behind it. The Rockstar Games parent has filed DMCA subpoenas seeking records from Microsoft and Discord connected to CyberLeek, which has spent the past several days publishing gameplay from an unreleased GTA 6 build.
The filings were submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 20. Take-Two says the subpoenas are intended to identify alleged copyright infringers. Microsoft and Discord have reportedly been given until September 4 to provide the requested records.
Take-Two wants IP addresses, account records and device information
The requests cover a broad set of account information. Take-Two is seeking account IDs, registration emails, registration and login IP addresses, phone numbers, linked accounts and device identifiers associated with accounts connected to CyberLeek. The Microsoft request also covers relevant OneDrive content and records from Microsoft’s own investigation of the CyberLeek identity.
© courtlistener CyberLeek has produced the largest wave of GTA 6 gameplay leaks since the major 2022 breach . The material released this week includes driving, shooting, flying, parts of the map and other unfinished gameplay. One video showed Jason firing bullets into a wall to spell “LEEK,” providing stronger evidence that the source has direct access to a playable development build rather than a collection of previously recorded clips.
New GTA 6 footage keeps appearing
The legal action has not stopped new material from appearing. Another video released on August 21 contains more than two minutes of driving with a hypercar resembling the Bugatti Divo. It also shows Jason attempting to open a locked vehicle before smashing the window and pulling the driver out, suggesting GTA 6 has expanded its carjacking interactions.
Take-Two has already been issuing copyright takedowns against copies of the footage, but the clips continue to spread across social platforms. Knowing how Internet works, they will never trully be gone.
