Clips from GTA VI continue to leak online via the hacker Cyberleek, with at least 13 videos published so far; Rockstar and Take-Two are pursuing legal action and calling the footage stolen, while an official extended gameplay reveal remains scheduled for Netflix on Thursday and neither company has issued a formal comment on the leaks.
Take-Two has filed subpoenas aiming to extract broad user data from Discord and Microsoft tied to GTA 6 leaks. Discord says it has not yet been formally served and will review requests once served; the data sought includes registration emails, IPs, phone numbers, linked connections and device identifiers for users in several servers. Microsoft is said to be cooperating, and Take-Two set a Sept. 4 deadline for producing the information as leaks continue to surface.
Take-Two has asked a U.S. court to subpoena Google and X Corp to identify Cyberleek, the GTA VI leaker, via DMCA takedown notices; the move follows earlier subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord as the publisher continues to scrub leaked footage and potentially pursue charges if the leaker is found.
GTA 6 leaks from the anonymous Cyberleek continued ahead of the Netflix-debuted gameplay, with Take-Two filing subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to unmask the leaker and remove stolen content. The leaked material purportedly covers map glimpses (Dalton Island, Tequesta Retreat, Gloriana Key, Catalan Key), various gameplay clips, and even a hint of a playable build, though authenticity can’t be confirmed amid widespread AI-generated fakes. Cyberleek is also running cryptocurrency-backed polls on what to leak next, while official gameplay is expected on Aug. 27, with no public comment from Rockstar or Take-Two yet.
A former Rockstar North director calls the GTA 6 leaks a 'nothing burger,' saying most players won’t chase spoilers and the marketing approach is to keep details under wraps; Take-Two has subpoenaed platforms over stolen content, but the leaks are viewed as a minor blip for a game expected to perform for years.
Leaked GTA 6 footage surfaced ahead of Rockstar’s planned Netflix extended look and the game’s November 19 release; Take-Two has taken legal steps to identify the leak sources, while experts say the leaks are unlikely to derail the launch, underscoring both the scale of the project and Rockstar’s secrecy culture.
Take-Two filed a DMCA subpoena in New York to identify GTA 6 leakers and force providers (including Microsoft, Discord, and Google) to hand over information, with the aim of locating infringers and defending Take-Two’s IP. Microsoft has since said it’s working with Take-Two and Rockstar Games to protect intellectual property. GTA 6 is scheduled for November 19, 2026, as an Xbox Series X|S and PS5 exclusive, and the case highlights how leaks and platform data intersect during a highly anticipated launch.
Take-Two filed subpoenas to identify alleged infringers after apparent GTA VI leaks, targeting Microsoft and Discord for information on copyrighted audiovisuals, artwork, and other elements watermarked by the leak group CyberLeek, with responses due by September 4 as the game’s Netflix preview on August 27 approaches and the November 19 release looms.
Take-Two Interactive has filed federal subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord under the DMCA to identify alleged GTA 6 leakers, seeking data tied to copyrighted audiovisual content posted on Microsoft’s GitHub and a Discord server; Microsoft didn’t comment and Discord said it reviews valid subpoenas in line with policy.
A GTA 6 leak by Cyberleek delivers a manifesto accusing publishers of unfinished titles and predatory monetization, vowing to leak more footage until Take-Two apologizes and commits to real change, while also promoting a memecoin; the footage is being taken down and gaming groups warn fans against funding leaks as GTA 6 eyes a November 19 release.
Sensor Tower estimates GTA 6 could reach about 25 million preorders by launch, potentially generating around $2 billion in revenue and helping cover development costs and much of marketing. Take-Two hasn’t disclosed a budget, but the game’s $100 Ultimate Edition is packed with items to drive higher spend, with preorders expected to surge in the final weeks before release. GTA 6 hits PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, and industry watchers expect it to be 2026’s biggest title, possibly receiving another boost from a new evolution of GTA Online.
Rumors swirl that GTA 6’s Netflix Extended Look could be a three-episode teaser after a Portugal Netflix listing showed three episodes with durations around 18–25 minutes; however, there is no official confirmation and the listing could be a bug or AI-generated, with Rockstar, Take-Two, or Netflix expected to announce details.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says the majority of GTA 6 pre-orders are for the $100 Ultimate Edition, with pre-orders overall outperforming expectations as buyers opt for the premium package that adds exclusive content; the company also raised its fiscal 2027 outlook, noting GTA 6’s momentum while stressing Take-Two’s business is largely digital.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a CNBC interview that GTA VI pre-orders are stronger for the $100 Ultimate Edition than the $80 standard version, with pre-order revenue already estimated to exceed $260 million; the premium edition’s extras are cosmetic, and discounts post-launch are likely limited as Take-Two keeps pricing stable, a point of contention given GTA VI is a single-player title.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says more than 90% of sales are digital and GTA 6 will not ship on a physical disc (code in a box for retailers). He wouldn’t rule out a future disc release, but the company expects digital sales growth to continue and sees no negative financial impact from a digital-only launch. The move aligns with broader digital adoption in gaming and isn’t tied to Sony’s 2028 end of physical discs. GTA 6 debuts November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at $80.
