The GTA 6 Discord subpoena from Take-Two Interactive has not yet reached the platform, according to Discord. Take-Two filed the subpoena request in a US federal court on August 20, 2026, seeking to identify the leaker behind a wave of Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay clips.
Discord’s marketing director, Ryan K. Rigney, confirmed on X that the company has not been served yet and will review the request once it arrives. The leaks have continued for over a week, with new footage appearing almost daily online.
GTA 6 Discord Subpoena: What Take-Two Is Asking For
Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, filed two separate DMCA subpoena requests with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 20, 2026. The filings target Microsoft and Discord and were submitted by attorneys Dale Cendali and Joshua Simmons of Kirkland & Ellis.
A DMCA subpoena lets a copyright holder ask a court to reveal the identity of an anonymous infringer without filing a full lawsuit. Take-Two is using this process to try to unmask the person or group behind the “Cyberleek” persona, which has been posting alleged GTA 6 gameplay footage online.
What Information Take-Two Wants
The subpoena directed at Discord requests identifying information for every account active in specific listed servers between June 1, 2026, and the present day. According to the filing, Take-Two is asking for:
- Account IDs and registration emails
- Registration and last-login IP addresses
- Phone numbers
- Linked accounts, including Google and Xbox
- Device identifiers such as MachineGuid and MSA
- Any GTA, Rockstar, or Cyberleek-related content stored in the account’s OneDrive
The Microsoft subpoena separately seeks internal business and investigative records tied to Microsoft’s own probe into the Cyberleek persona.
Discord’s Response
Rigney addressed the situation directly on X on August 24, 2026, after concerns spread online that Take-Two’s request could expose the data of users unconnected to the leaks. He said Discord has not yet been served with a subpoena from Take-Two and that the company will “evaluate the validity and scope” once it is.
Discord has not issued any further public statement on the matter since that post.
Microsoft’s Role and the Deadline
Microsoft has taken a different tone. Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet wrote on X that Microsoft is working closely with Take-Two and Rockstar Games to support efforts to protect the studio’s creative work and intellectual property.
Both Microsoft and Discord have until September 4, 2026, to respond to their respective subpoenas, though neither company has confirmed handing over any user records so far.
GTA 6 Leaks So Far
The Cyberleek leaks began roughly a week before the subpoena filings, with new gameplay clips surfacing almost daily. The leaker has claimed to have access to a playable build of the entire game and has continued posting new material despite Take-Two’s DMCA takedown efforts across multiple platforms.
The leaker has also taunted Take-Two and Rockstar directly, saying the leaks will continue and even encouraging fans to visit Rockstar’s offices in person.
The controversy comes just days before Rockstar’s official Netflix “extended look” at GTA 6, scheduled for August 27, 2026. Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026.
