GTA VI: Take-Two subpoenas Microsoft and Discord to track leaks - Netflix reveal approaching

Rockstar and Take-Two have obtained court subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to identify those responsible for persistent leaks about GTA VI, while also making progress on a Netflix deal.

The Legal Action

Take-Two Interactive, parent company of Rockstar Games, has issued subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to obtain the identification details of the individuals behind the repeated leaks of GTA VI.

Rockstar remains “in the dark” regarding the exact identity of the leakers—explaining the recourse to legal proceedings to compel the platforms to hand over user data.

Why Microsoft and Discord?

• Discord: likely communication and distribution hub for leaks among closed groups
• Microsoft: via Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Store, or accounts linked to preview/build access

The subpoenas target metadata (IP addresses, account information) to identify and prosecute those responsible.

Netflix in the Equation

Despite the leaks, Rockstar is moving toward a Netflix reveal—a sign the release remains on track and a launch or streaming exclusivity partnership is under negotiation.

Our Take

Every legal action reignites hype around a game with no official release date. Take-Two is playing a risky game: the more they publicly escalate, the more leakers may feel motivated to continue. The Netflix reveal could be the way to regain control of the narrative.

For whom: all players waiting for GTA VI—effectively, just about everyone.
