What happened in the legal crackdown on the “CyberLeek” persona behind the week of Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay leaks—including Take Two Interactive’s DMCA subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord, the user data and investigative records sought, the companies’ responses and Septemb

Deadline and responses: The subpoenas reportedly set September 4 as the response date. That is a deadline to produce records or object through legal channels, not confirmation that either company has already handed Take-Two the requested data; no public substantive response from Microsoft or Discord was identified in the available reporting.

Takedowns: CyberLeek’s Telegram channel was reported unavailable for copyright infringement, but the available corroboration is thin and derives principally from a social-media report. I could not independently verify the claimed shutdown of a separate CyberLeek website or attribute either takedown definitively to Take-Two.

What was leaked and why: The uploads were described as gameplay footage apparently from an older GTA VI build, rather than a finished retail version. CyberLeek also promoted a crypto-linked scheme, telling viewers that a higher market capitalization would produce more leaks—suggesting financial/speculative promotion, at least publicly, as a motive.

Authenticity: The key legal significance is that Take-Two’s sworn copyright filings identify the material as infringing GTA VI content and seek removal/identification remedies. That is strong evidence of the company’s position that the footage was genuine, but it is not a court merits ruling or an independent forensic authentication of every video.

Release and preview: Rockstar’s official GTA VI page lists November 19, 2026, as the release date. Rockstar has also announced an “Extended Look” for August 27; I found no official evidence that this is a Netflix gameplay preview, so that portion of the premise is unsupported.

Platforms: The scheduled launch is for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
