Take-Two Sues GitHub, Discord Over GTA 6 Leaks Ahead of 30-Minute Netflix Reveal

3 articles · Updated · bbc.co.uk · Aug 21

Summary

  • Take-Two filed New York legal action on Friday seeking user details from GitHub and Discord accounts accused of sharing leaked GTA 6 footage.
  • The move follows apparent gameplay clips posted since Wednesday, with copies rapidly removed through copyright claims and several accounts tied to the alleged hackers disappearing.
  • Rockstar has not publicly commented, even as it prepares a 30-minute Netflix “extended look” after more than 18 months since the last official trailer.
  • Experts and a former Rockstar developer said the leaks may sting staff and fuel hardcore fan speculation, but are unlikely to dent GTA 6’s broader success before its Nov. 19 release.
