GTA VI publisher subpoenas Microsoft, Discord records to identify source of leaked footage
Take-Two is seeking user data from Microsoft and Discord to identify the source of the leaks, and companies say the requests could cover hundreds of thousands of accounts.
- On Thursday, Take-Two Interactive filed a petition with the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York seeking subpoenas for Microsoft and Discord to identify individuals behind unauthorized 'Grand Theft Auto VI' leaks.
- A hacker group calling itself CyberLeek claimed responsibility for the leaks, citing a protest against the industry's shift to digital-only releases and demanding offline functionality and an end to digital pre-orders.
- Take-Two has lost $2.8 billion in market value following the leaks. Gameplay videos featuring protagonist Jason surfaced days before Netflix is scheduled to debut an exclusive 'extended look' on August 27.
- Discord stated on Friday it will 'review and comply with valid subpoenas,' while Microsoft's Xbox division Chief Technology Officer Scott Van Vliet pledged to support efforts to protect intellectual property.
- With the game set to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles on November 19, Take-Two faces a tight deadline as the court ordered requested information produced by September 4.
