Take-Two, the parent of Rockstar Games, seeks to identify who leaked purported Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay online by filing subpoenas for records from Microsoft and Discord. Multiple outlets report the legal action is aimed at pinpointing the alleged infringer(s) involved in distributing copyrighted game material.
The subpoenas are filed in federal court, with reporting indicating the requests go beyond platform access to include account-linked data tied to activity on Microsoft services and Discord. Several stories describe the requests as seeking information sufficient to identify users, including Discord user details and identifiers associated with accounts. One outlet also reports references to a specific online handle tied to the leaks.
Outlets largely agree on the core steps: Take-Two initiates the subpoenas, targets Microsoft and Discord for user/account records, and frames the materials as copyrighted. Coverage differs mainly in added details, such as how the leaks are characterized, whether a particular handle is named, and which specific data types are highlighted. Some outlets also mention a fast turnaround for Microsoft to respond and note that additional game information is expected soon.
