As the legal hunt for the GTA 6 leaker continues, Take-Two reportedly tries another more secretive Discord subpoena, this time specifying individuals
In response to the Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks from two weeks ago, Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive has escalated its legal pursuit by filing a second subpoena request targeting Discord. According to TorrentFreak, this new subpoena differs from Take-Two’s initial filings in requesting that the court seal the details from public disclosure while pursuing more targeted information about specific individuals involved in the leak.
This represents an intensification of Take-Two’s multi-pronged legal strategy. The publisher previously filed subpoena requests targeting several platforms used to distribute the leaked GTA 6 footage, including Discord, Microsoft, and X. The new sealed subpoena indicates Take-Two’s investigation has progressed from initial information gathering toward identifying specific people responsible for the leak and its dissemination.
The strategic shift toward a sealed subpoena suggests Take-Two may have narrowed its focus following responses to initial requests. Discord had publicly acknowledged the first subpoena, though responses from Microsoft and X remained limited. By requesting court-ordered secrecy this time, Take-Two likely aims to prevent targets from learning about the investigation or destroying evidence.
This legal action represents a significant escalation in Take-Two’s response to one of gaming’s most substantial data breaches. The GTA 6 leaks contained substantial footage from the highly anticipated game, affecting the publisher’s confidentiality and marketing strategy. The company’s willingness to pursue sealed legal proceedings demonstrates the severity with which it views the breach and its commitment to identifying those responsible.
