Discord Says It Hasn’t Been Served Take-Two’s GTA 6 Subpoena Yet

Take-Two Interactive is pursuing aggressive legal action to identify a leaker known as Cyberleek, who has been distributing footage from a GTA 6 development build online, and the company’s approved subpoena could hand it the personal data of thousands of Discord users who had nothing to do with the leak.

What the Subpoena Actually Demands

According to documents obtained by The Verge and reported by PC Gamer, Take-Two is requesting all identifying information linked to every user account that was a member of specific Discord servers between June 1, 2026 and the present. That data haul includes account IDs, registration emails, registration and last-login IP addresses, phone numbers, linked connections such as Google and Xbox accounts, associated device identifiers, and any content related to GTA, Rockstar, or Cyberleek stored in connected OneDrive accounts. The subpoena has been approved by a court but had not yet been formally served to Discord as of August 21, according to Eurogamer.

Thousands of Ordinary Users Caught in the Net

The breadth of the request raises immediate concerns about innocent users getting swept up in Take-Two’s hunt. As PC Gamer notes, one of the named servers, belonging to content creator DarkViperAU, has over 100,000 members, while the Odyssey server holds around 5,600 members. Most of those users have no connection to the leak itself. Take-Two has also reportedly sought a subpoena targeting Microsoft in addition to Discord, according to Video Games Chronicle, suggesting the company is casting a wide net across multiple platforms simultaneously.

Discord’s Response and What Comes Next

Discord’s marketing director Ryan K. Rigney addressed the situation directly on X, stating that the platform has not yet been served with a subpoena from Take-Two and that when it is, the company will evaluate the validity and scope before responding. GamesRadar reported Rigney’s statement in full, noting that Discord’s careful phrasing leaves room for the platform to push back on the order’s reach once it is formally received. Whether Discord will challenge the scope of the subpoena or comply outright remains to be seen, but the situation is being watched closely by privacy advocates and gaming communities alike. Take-Two’s legal pursuit of Cyberleek, who has reportedly been making money from cryptocurrency-linked distribution of leaked GTA 6 footage, shows no sign of slowing down.
