Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive has filed subpoenas with a district court requesting information from Microsoft and Discord regarding gameplay leaks for its eagerly anticipated, unreleased game, “Grand Theft Auto 6.”
Per the documents, filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on Thursday, the “copyrighted material includes but is not limited to audiovisual content, artwork, images, dialogue, or other creative elements.” Take-Two is seeking data from both Microsoft and Discord under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to “identify alleged infringers at issue.”
Multiple alleged “GTA 6” gameplay videos have been released this week by a hacker group known as CyberLeek, which claims to have a playable build of the game. The videos have been posted across multiple websites and subsequently removed and continued to appear in new locations.
Rockstar has yet to publicly confirm the authenticity of the leaks or released any statement regarding the situation.
“GTA 6” is set to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S and X consoles Nov. 19. Netflix will debut an exclusive “extended look” at the game on Aug. 27, which will later be available on YouTube and other platforms.
