Take-Two Says GTA 6 Leak Investigation Is "Rapidly Evolving" as It Seeks Second Discord Subpoena

Take-Two Interactive told a court that its hunt for whoever leaked Grand Theft Auto 6 footage is "rapidly evolving," as the publisher seeks a second subpoena from the chat platform Discord.

The leaked clips surfaced days before the game's official Netflix reveal, posted by a group calling itself "Cyberleek." The footage appeared authentic, and Take-Two — the parent company of Rockstar Games, the developer behind the Grand Theft Auto series — moved quickly to trace its source VGC.

Take-Two has already issued subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord for information that could identify the leaker. It followed those with additional requests directed at X and YouTube. Now the company is asking the court for a second Discord subpoena, this one targeting two specific users — one previously identified and one new VGC.

That second request comes with an extra layer of secrecy. Take-Two asked the court to file the details under seal, meaning they would not be publicly available. The publisher argued that public disclosure could tip off the alleged infringers and create "a substantial risk" they would delete or conceal evidence VGC.

Discord has not simply handed over what was asked. Ryan Rigney, Discord's marketing director, said the platform had not yet been served with Take-Two's first subpoena and that it would "evaluate the validity and scope before responding" VGC. A subpoena is a court order compelling someone to produce evidence or testify — and platforms routinely review whether such orders are legally valid before complying.

In a separate filing, Take-Two withdrew its previous subpoena request for information from YouTube. That request had been focused on three personas seemingly tied to a leaked video VGC.

For Grand Theft Auto fans, the investigation signals how seriously publishers treat early leaks of unreleased material. A leaked clip can spoil planned marketing reveals and expose unfinished work — and Take-Two, through its legal filings, is making clear it intends to find whoever was responsible.

The case is still unfolding. With Discord yet to respond to the first subpoena and a second request now before the court, the next step will be a judge's decision on whether that sealed order goes through.
