Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company, has started legal action to identify the people behind recent GTA 6 leaks. However, claims that Rockstar lawyers personally went to a Reddit user’s house remain unconfirmed.
The situation has caused major discussion across Reddit, Discord, X, and GTA fan communities. Some users believe a person may have accidentally exposed a Discord identity after claiming to know the leaker known as Cyberleek. But the confirmed part of the story is Take-Two’s court action—not an in-person visit to anyone’s home.
What Happened With the GTA 6 Leaks?
On August 18, gameplay clips, images, and other alleged Grand Theft Auto 6 material began appearing online under the name Cyberleek.
The leaks spread quickly through social media, Discord servers, and file-sharing sites. Some posts reportedly showed gameplay footage, map details, characters, and other content connected to Rockstar’s upcoming game.
Rockstar Games has not publicly confirmed who Cyberleek is. It is also not clear whether the name belongs to one person, several people, or someone reposting stolen material from another source.
After the leak wave began, Take-Two moved to remove leaked content and identify whoever was responsible.
Take-Two Has Filed Legal Requests
Take-Two did not simply post copyright strikes. The company filed DMCA subpoena requests in a New York federal court on August 20.
A DMCA subpoena is a legal request that can require an online platform to provide information that may help identify a suspected copyright infringer. It is not automatically a criminal arrest, raid, or lawsuit against every person mentioned online.
Reports say Take-Two requested information from:
- Microsoft, including records connected to GitHub, OneDrive, and Cyberleek-related activity.
- Discord, including identifying information for accounts connected to specified servers and conversations.
- Other online services may also be involved as Take-Two traces where the alleged stolen GTA 6 content was stored or shared.
The Microsoft subpoena was reportedly granted by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 21.
The requests are reportedly broad. Take-Two is seeking records that could help connect online aliases to a real person or group.
The requested information may include:
- Discord account IDs and usernames
- Email addresses linked to accounts
- Registration and login IP addresses
- Phone numbers connected to accounts
- Device identifiers
- Linked Xbox or Google accounts
- Certain OneDrive or Microsoft records
- Internal records related to Microsoft’s investigation of Cyberleek
The goal is to identify the alleged person or people behind the Cyberleek name and the leaked GTA 6 content—not to prove that every Discord member in a named server was involved.
Did Rockstar Go to a Reddit User’s House?
There is no confirmed public reporting that Rockstar Games, Take-Two, police, or lawyers went to a Reddit user’s home because of the “August 18th, ask me anything you want” post.
That part of the story appears to come from online discussion. The claim is that a Reddit user said they knew Cyberleek, linked a Discord community, and showed a visible Discord tag. Fans then suggested the poster had “gift-wrapped” identifying information for Take-Two’s legal team.
That theory is possible in a general sense. A visible username, linked account, public Discord server, email address, or repeated online identity can give investigators useful leads.
But a public clue is not proof that someone leaked GTA 6 material. It also does not prove that Take-Two found the person, contacted them, or visited their home.

Cyberleek Has Not Been Publicly Identified
As of now, Take-Two’s legal action is focused on finding the person or group behind Cyberleek. Reports describe the company seeking records tied to the persona, related accounts, and platforms where the material allegedly appeared.
That does not mean the investigation is over.
A court-approved request can help a company collect account data, but the process may take time. Even if Take-Two receives information from Discord or Microsoft, the company may not publicly reveal a suspect’s name.
Online fans should also avoid trying to “solve” the case by sharing usernames, personal details, addresses, or alleged identities. Wrong guesses can harm innocent people, and doxxing is never acceptable.
Why Take-Two Is Taking the Leaks Seriously
GTA 6 is one of the biggest upcoming games in the world. Leaks can reveal story moments, gameplay systems, unfinished visuals, map areas, and content Rockstar intended to show later.
For a company, leaks can create several problems:
- They can spoil the game for players.
- They can spread unfinished footage that does not represent the final product.
- They can interfere with marketing plans.
- They can expose internal tools, files, and security weaknesses.
- They may encourage more people to repost stolen content.
That is why Take-Two is using copyright takedowns alongside legal requests for account information.

What Happens Next?
The next major step is whether Microsoft, Discord, and other services respond to Take-Two’s legal requests. Reports said the companies had until September 4, 2026, to provide the requested records.
Take-Two could then use the information to pursue further copyright action, request more records, send legal notices, or file a lawsuit. Those outcomes are not guaranteed, and the company has not publicly explained its next move.
For now, the biggest fact is simple: Take-Two is actively trying to unmask the GTA 6 leaker through the legal system. The dramatic claim that Rockstar is personally “hunting everyone down” goes beyond what has been verified publicly.
