Rockstar Games is escalating its response to the ongoing "Cyberleek" leaks targeting Grand Theft Auto 6, issuing subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord, according to reports from Kotaku and Variety. The legal action comes as a new wave of leaked material surfaced over the weekend and into Monday, as detailed by Mashable.
The latest batch of leaks continues a pattern of unauthorized disclosures that have plagued the game's development. Mashable reports that these releases are part of a broader "Cyberleek" event, which has seen a steady stream of content emerge over recent days. The outlet also noted that a purported 113GB GTA 6 leak circulating online is not what it appears to be. According to The News International, that file is fake and contains malware, warning players not to download it.
The subpoenas directed at Microsoft and Discord suggest Rockstar is seeking information about the individuals responsible for distributing the stolen material. Variety confirmed the legal filings, though specific details about what Rockstar is requesting from the two companies have not been made public. The move signals that the developer is moving beyond simple takedown requests and pursuing legal channels to identify the source of the leaks.
Mashable has also published a running tally of everything leaked so far, indicating that the scope of the disclosures is broad enough to warrant ongoing coverage. The outlet has speculated on what might come next, but no further details have been confirmed.
As the situation develops, the key question is whether the subpoenas will yield actionable information. Watch for any court filings or responses from Microsoft and Discord that could reveal the identities behind the leaks.
