Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has filed court requests to subpoena Microsoft and Discord as part of an investigation into a leaker who has been posting snippets of Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay online. The leaker, who appears to have access to a build of the highly anticipated game, has shared clips over the past week.

The legal action, reported by Bloomberg and other outlets, aims to obtain identifying information about the person behind the leaks. Take-Two is seeking data from Microsoft, which operates the Xbox network, and Discord, a popular messaging platform where the leaks may have been shared.

GTA 6 is scheduled for release in fall 2026, according to Rockstar Games. The leaks have generated significant buzz but also legal concern, as Take-Two has a history of aggressively protecting its intellectual property.

Neither Microsoft nor Discord has publicly commented on the subpoena requests. The court filings are part of an ongoing effort by Take-Two to curb unauthorized distribution of game content before its official release.
