Rockstar’s Parent Company Reportedly Expands GTA 6 Leak Hunt With X and Google Subpoenas
Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, is reportedly widening its effort to identify people who shared alleged Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks online. After pursuing information from Microsoft and Discord, the company has now reportedly filed DMCA subpoena requests involving X and Google/YouTube accounts connected to the “CyberLeek” name.
The move appears to target not only the alleged original source of the leaks, but also accounts accused of reposting or spreading leaked GTA 6 videos and images.
The recent GTA 6 leak situation has become much bigger than one account. Take-Two reportedly wants information that could help identify people behind several accounts using the CyberLeek name.
According to reports, the proposed X subpoena names these accounts:
@cyberleek_ar_io
@cyberleekario
@MrCyberLeek
The request reportedly seeks details such as account IDs, registration emails, IP access logs, phone numbers, connected accounts, and device identifiers. The records requested reportedly cover activity from June 1, 2026, onward.
That does not mean these accounts have been proven to be the original GTA 6 leaker. It means Take-Two is seeking information while investigating alleged copyright infringement related to GTA 6 content.
Rockstar is upgrading their legal action to help track down any GTA 6 leakers.

Reports say the Google/YouTube request identifies one YouTube video and three channels believed to be linked to it:
CyberLeeks
Surfer24k
Cyberleek_ar_io
The goal appears to be finding out who operated accounts that allegedly uploaded or shared leaked GTA 6 footage.
For Rockstar and Take-Two, YouTube can be an important part of the investigation because leaked gameplay often spreads quickly through videos, reposts, shorts, and mirrors. Even when one upload is removed, similar clips can appear on other channels within minutes.
Earlier GTA 6 Leak Subpoenas Targeted Microsoft and Discord
Before the reported X and Google requests, Take-Two had already filed DMCA subpoena requests involving Microsoft and Discord.
The company reportedly sought information related to the CyberLeek account, including data connected to several Discord servers. It also requested information tied to Microsoft services, including internal records from Microsoft’s own reported investigation and potentially relevant OneDrive content.
Reports say Take-Two requested identifying information associated with accounts in selected Discord servers. This reportedly included information connected to people who may have shared, discussed, stored, or helped distribute alleged GTA 6 content.
A DMCA subpoena is a legal tool that can be used by copyright owners to request identifying information about a person or account accused of copyright infringement.
In simple terms, Take-Two is not asking X, Google, Discord, or Microsoft to decide who is guilty. It is asking these companies for information that could reveal who is behind specific accounts or uploads.
The information requested can include:
Email addresses used to create accounts
IP address logs
Linked accounts
Phone numbers
Device identifiers
Upload and account records
A DMCA subpoena is usually an early step. If the company receives useful information, it could then send takedown notices, demand that content be removed, or decide whether to take further legal action.
Why Rockstar Is Taking GTA 6 Leaks Seriously
GTA 6 is one of the biggest upcoming games in the industry, so leaked videos can cause major problems for Rockstar Games and Take-Two.
Leaks may reveal unfinished gameplay, development tools, story details, locations, features, or other content that Rockstar has not officially announced. Early footage can also create the wrong impression because games often change a lot before release.
Take-Two has strong reasons to try to stop the spread of leaked GTA 6 content:
It wants Rockstar to control official GTA 6 announcements
It may want to protect unfinished game content
It can reduce spoilers for players
It can discourage others from reposting leaked videos
It may help identify the source of the original breach
The company’s earlier filings reportedly stated that the requested information would be used to identify alleged infringers and protect Take-Two’s rights.
Are the CyberLeek Copycat Accounts the Original Leaker?
There is no public proof that every account named in the reported requests is the original leaker.
Some accounts may have reposted footage, copied the CyberLeek name, discussed the leaks, or attempted to gain attention by acting connected to the situation. That is why it is important to avoid calling every targeted account “the GTA 6 leaker.”
A more accurate description is that Take-Two is reportedly investigating accounts alleged to be involved in distributing or reposting leaked GTA 6 content.
What Could Happen Next?
If the court approves the requests and the platforms provide records, Take-Two could use the information to connect accounts across different services.
For example, an X account, YouTube channel, Discord profile, and cloud-storage account could potentially be linked through details such as registration emails, IP logs, device information, or other account records. Whether those links are found, and what Take-Two does with the information, is not public yet.
The company could then:
Send more DMCA takedown requests
Request removal of reuploaded GTA 6 footage
Identify people behind alleged leak accounts
File additional legal claims
Continue investigating the original source of the material
For now, the main takeaway is clear: Take-Two’s reported GTA 6 leak response is expanding beyond a single CyberLeek account and into the wider network of accounts that may have helped leaked content spread online.
