Take-Two Goes Legal Over Ongoing GTA 6 Leaks

The situation surrounding a GTA 6 leaker operating under the handle "Cyberleek" has escalated significantly. According to reports from both Kotaku and Windows Central, Take-Two Interactive has issued multiple legal subpoenas targeting Microsoft, Discord, and Google in an effort to unmask the individual responsible for circulating footage pulled from an older development build of the game.

The Xbox CTO has publicly acknowledged the situation, issuing a brief statement confirming that Microsoft is "working closely with Take-Two and Rockstar Games" — suggesting the company is cooperating with the investigation rather than contesting the subpoenas.

What Has Been Leaked?

The footage in question appears to originate from an early internal build of GTA 6, meaning it likely does not reflect the final state of the game ahead of its November 19, 2026 launch. Early builds can differ substantially from shipped products in terms of visuals, mechanics, and content, so it is worth treating anything circulating online with healthy scepticism.

If you want to go into GTA 6 fresh, now is a good time to mute relevant keywords on social media. Spoiler exposure is increasingly difficult to avoid as leaks continue to spread.

Why This Matters

  • Legal precedent: This is not the first time Rockstar has pursued legal channels after a leak — the 2022 GTA 6 footage incident resulted in a conviction. Take-Two has shown it will act aggressively to protect unreleased material.
  • Platform cooperation: Microsoft's public statement signals that major platforms are willing to assist rights holders in leak investigations.
  • For fans: None of the leaked footage is officially sanctioned, and engaging with or sharing it could carry risk for ordinary users too.
