Xbox has confirmed it is working with Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive after a new round of alleged GTA 6 leaks appeared online. The news comes as Take-Two seeks records from Microsoft and Discord that could help identify the person or group using the name “Cyberleek.”
Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet said Microsoft is supporting efforts to protect Rockstar’s creative work and intellectual property. While the company has not shared the exact details of its cooperation, the statement shows that the GTA 6 leak investigation has reached major gaming platforms.
Xbox Confirms GTA 6 Leak Cooperation
Scott Van Vliet, Xbox’s Chief Technology Officer, shared a short statement about the situation on August 21, 2026.
“We are working closely with Take-Two and Rockstar Games to support efforts to protect creative works and intellectual property.”
The statement does not confirm whether Microsoft has shared user information, removed files, or taken another specific action. It only confirms that Xbox is cooperating with Rockstar and Take-Two as they try to protect GTA 6 content.
That is important because Microsoft operates Xbox services, OneDrive, GitHub, and other online platforms that may be linked to material mentioned in the legal filings.
Take-Two Files Subpoenas Against Microsoft and Discord
Take-Two, Rockstar Games’ parent company, has asked a federal court for subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord. A subpoena is a legal request that can require a company to provide records or information.
The court filings are part of Take-Two’s attempt to identify people allegedly connected to “Cyberleek,” the account or group linked to the recent GTA 6 leak reports. The company is seeking records connected to online accounts that may have uploaded or shared copyrighted GTA, Rockstar, or Cyberleek-related material.
Reports say Take-Two asked Microsoft for business and investigative records connected to Microsoft’s own inquiry into the Cyberleek persona. The request reportedly gave Microsoft until September 4 to provide relevant material.
What Records Could Be Requested?
According to reports on the court filing, Take-Two is looking for information that could help connect online accounts to real people or groups.
The reported requests include:
- Account IDs and registered email addresses
- Registration and last-login IP addresses
- Linked accounts, including possible Xbox connections
- Phone numbers and device identifiers
- Relevant content stored through linked OneDrive accounts
- Records involving users active in certain Discord servers since June 1, 2026
This does not mean Microsoft or Discord will automatically hand over every type of data mentioned in reports. A subpoena is part of a legal process, and companies can review requests, follow privacy rules, and respond through legal channels.

Why Xbox Is Involved
Microsoft is involved because Take-Two’s filing reportedly points to Microsoft platforms and records that could be useful in finding the source of the leak. This could include accounts, files, platform activity, or internal investigation records related to Cyberleek.
Xbox’s public statement also shows that Microsoft sees the issue as bigger than a normal online rumor. Leaked game footage can reveal unfinished content, spread misinformation, and affect how players view a game before its official launch.
For a huge game like GTA 6, that matters even more. Fans often share clips quickly across social media, but not every post is real. AI-made videos and fake GTA 6 content have also appeared during the leak situation, making it harder for players to know what to trust.
Has Rockstar Confirmed the GTA 6 Leaks?
Rockstar Games and Take-Two have not released a detailed public statement confirming every leaked clip, image, map, or claim shared online. Because of that, fans should treat unverified gameplay details with caution.
Reports say that Rockstar’s parent company has issued takedown notices against people reposting alleged GTA 6 material. However, a takedown does not make every rumor surrounding the leaks accurate.
The safest approach is simple: wait for official Rockstar Games announcements for confirmed GTA 6 gameplay, map details, features, story information, and release plans.
What Happens Next?
A New York court has reportedly approved Take-Two’s requests for subpoenas involving Microsoft and Discord. The company can now continue its legal effort to identify people it believes are responsible for sharing copyrighted GTA 6 material.
For now, Microsoft has confirmed cooperation, but it has not explained what it is doing behind the scenes. Rockstar has also not publicly named Cyberleek or announced that anyone has been identified.
Until official updates arrive, GTA 6 fans should be careful with leak posts, avoid downloading unknown files, and rely on Rockstar’s official channels rather than social-media claims.
