GTA 6 Leaker Posts 8th Video as Take-Two Hunts Identity via Subpoenas

Eight Videos In, and the Leaks Keep Coming

Five days in and counting. The person or group going by the name ‘CyberLeek’ dropped two more GTA 6 gameplay videos on August 22, bringing the total this week to eight, even as Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two pursues subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to unmask whoever is behind the footage.

The new videos, as reported by IGN, show supercar gameplay and an armed robbery in one clip, and strip club footage in another. That second video appears to be a direct taunt at Take-Two and Rockstar: it includes a snippet from a cutscene in which a character says they need to take “a leak.” It is the second cutscene to emerge this week, which is fueling concern that CyberLeek has access to an actual build of the game and could post significant story spoilers at any point.

Every video posted by CyberLeek has also advertised what IGN describes as a ‘CyberLeek’ memecoin, part of what is widely considered to be a crypto scheme attached to the whole operation.

Subpoenas, Takedowns, and a Federal Court Grant

Take-Two has been moving fast on the legal front. On August 19, the company hit GitHub with a DMCA takedown notice, stating that “the infringer is sharing the stolen content from our copyright” and demanding the entire repository be disabled. The next day, August 20, Take-Two filed DMCA subpoenas in federal court seeking identifying information from both Microsoft and Discord.

The subpoenas cast a wide net. Take-Two wants information associated with user accounts that were members of several Discord servers, including one connected to Australian GTA content creator Matthew “Matt” Judge, better known online as DarkViperAU. Judge has denied any wrongdoing. Take-Two is also seeking, via the Microsoft subpoena, “all internal Microsoft business records and investigative records associated with Microsoft’s internal investigation of the ‘cyberleek’ persona sufficient to identify the user(s), person(s) and/or entity/ies associated with that persona.”

The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the Microsoft subpoena on August 21. Xbox Chief Technical Officer Scott Van Vliet addressed the situation on social media, writing: “We are working closely with Take-Two and Rockstar Games to support efforts to protect creative works and intellectual property.”

Discord, for its part, told Variety that it “sometimes receives subpoenas related to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act” and that it reviews and complies with valid ones “as is standard and routine for companies like ours.”

Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two have issued a public statement. IGN noted it has asked both for comment.

Internally, Rockstar Is Frustrated But Pressing Forward

According to Bloomberg, Rockstar still does not know how the leaks happened or who is responsible for them. That uncertainty, five days into a steady drip of footage from one of the most anticipated games in years, has understandably generated frustration and anger inside the studio.

What has not changed is the release calendar. Bloomberg reported there are no plans to delay next week’s big reveal. Netflix has already teased “Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look,” set for August 27. The footage will be exclusive to Netflix for six hours before becoming available on other platforms, including YouTube.

GTA 6 itself is still scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S on November 19, 2026. With roughly three months to go and a major promotional reveal days away, Rockstar and Take-Two are in an uncomfortable race: catch the leaker before they post something that genuinely spoils the story, while trying to keep the official rollout on track. The federal courts are now involved. The memecoin keeps getting promoted. And the videos keep dropping.
