[Rockstar Games is leaving no stone unturned in its pursuit of those responsible for the massive GTA 6 leak, and now it appears Discord is caught in the crossfire. The legal battle has taken a new turn as Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two, seeks user data from the popular communication platform.]
The Legal Pursuit Continues
Following the devastating leak of early gameplay footage and assets for Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games is aggressively pursuing those responsible. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar, has initiated legal proceedings to identify individuals involved in distributing the leaked material. The investigation has now reached Discord, with reports indicating that Take-Two has issued a request for user data from the platform. This move raises significant questions about privacy and freedom of expression within online communities.
Discord’s Measured Response
While details remain scarce, it appears Take-Two is seeking information related to accounts believed to be connected to the leak. A statement released by Discord indicates that the company has not yet received an official subpoena but is prepared to carefully review any such request before responding. This cautious approach suggests a desire to balance legal obligations with concerns about user privacy.
Focus on “CyberLeek” and Community Servers
The data request reportedly targets information related to the account “CyberLeek,” which has been instrumental in disseminating leaked GTA 6 content. Furthermore, the request extends to members of specific Discord servers, including “discord.gg/darkviperau,” a community managed by Matthew “Matt” Judge (DarkViperAU), a prominent Australian GTA content creator. Judge has publicly stated his innocence regarding any involvement in the leak. DarkViperAU hakkında daha fazla bilgi
Privacy Advocates Raise Concerns
The move has drawn criticism from privacy advocates, who argue that it sets a dangerous precedent. Reclaim The Net, an organization dedicated to protecting online freedom, released a statement condemning the request, arguing that it goes beyond addressing copyright infringement and constitutes “identity fishing.” They claim Take-Two is targeting users who may have simply discussed the leak without actively participating in its distribution.

Microsoft Also Targeted?
Rumors suggest that Microsoft has also received a similar request from Take-Two, although this remains unconfirmed. Speculation is rife about whether Twitter/X will be the next platform targeted, but reports indicate that any such request has not yet been finalized.
The Shadow of CyberLeek Looms Large
Despite Rockstar’s efforts, leaks continue to surface, and the possibility remains that “CyberLeek” may release further details about the game’s story and characters. This ongoing threat casts a shadow over the highly anticipated release of GTA 6. Rockstar Games and Take-Two have yet to issue an official statement regarding the legal proceedings or the continued leaks.
Looking Ahead: GTA 6 Release Date
Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently slated for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026. The ongoing leak investigation undoubtedly adds another layer of complexity to the game’s development cycle. GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto 6) – Official Extended Look Teaser Trailer
