Take-Two Interactive has escalated its efforts to identify those responsible for leaking Grand Theft Auto 6 materials by issuing federal subpoenas. The publisher is pursuing legal action to trace the sources of the leaked content.
This represents a significant step up from typical cease-and-desist approaches, bringing federal authorities into the investigation. By using subpoenas, Take-Two can compel various parties—potentially including internet service providers, hosting companies, and other relevant entities—to disclose information that could lead to identifying who leaked the materials.
The move underscores how seriously the company takes the protection of its unreleased game assets and intellectual property. Leaks of major games can spread footage and details across the internet rapidly, potentially affecting marketing plans and player experience expectations.
For fans awaiting GTA 6’s November 2026 launch, this aggressive legal pursuit signals that Take-Two remains committed to controlling official information flow and ensuring the game’s reveal happens on the publisher’s own terms.
