Take-Two Interactive filed DMCA subpoenas in New York's Southern District Court on August 20, targeting Microsoft and Discord for records tied to the CyberLeek leaks of GTA VI gameplay footage. The documents demand account IDs, emails, IP addresses, phone numbers, linked Xbox and Google accounts, device identifiers, and any relevant OneDrive files or telemetry data sufficient to unmask the leaker or leakers behind watermarked clips showing protagonist Jason Duval in various activities.

Microsoft and Discord have until September 4 to comply. Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet publicly stated the company is working closely with Take-Two and Rockstar to protect intellectual property, while the subpoenas reference specific Discord accounts like CyberLeek, CinematicRockstar, and Surfer24k along with servers active since June. The leaks, which include a meme coin promotion and anti-digital-only manifesto from the group, have continued across platforms despite takedown efforts.

This escalation confirms Take-Two treats the material as genuine copyrighted infringement rather than a hoax, with the court already granting the requests per follow-up reporting. The timing coincides with an extended GTA VI preview slated for Netflix on August 27 ahead of the November 19 launch. No responses have come from Discord directly.

Rockstar's parent is treating this like any other IP theft case, pulling in third-party platforms to trace the source before more footage surfaces.
