Discord has not yet been formally served with a subpoena from Take-Two regarding recent Grand Theft Auto VI leaks, according to the platform's marketing director. While Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two, filed multiple subpoenas in a federal district court to obtain user data, the platform has not yet received the official paperwork.
The Current Status of the Subpoena
Ryan K. Rigney, Discord's marketing director, clarified on X that the company has not received the formal request. He noted that once the company is officially served, it will evaluate the validity and scope of the subpoena before determining its response.
What the Court Filings Request
The legal filings from Take-Two target user information from both Discord and Microsoft. For Discord, the publisher is seeking a broad range of data, including:
- Registration emails
- Registration and last-login IP addresses
- Phone numbers
- Linked account connections
- Device identifiers
The requests specifically target accounts that were members of community servers such as Ødyssey.gg, '! Odyssey', and DarkViperAU, dating back to June 1st. The filing also names Microsoft, targeting OneDrive data and Xbox accounts linked to user profiles on Discord. Microsoft Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet has stated that the company is cooperating with Take-Two and Rockstar to support intellectual property protection efforts.
Impact of the GTA 6 Leaks
These legal actions follow a recent wave of unauthorized leaks for Grand Theft Auto VI, which included gameplay footage, carjacking mechanics, and details regarding the game's map and NPC behavior. While Rockstar has not yet identified the source of the breach, reports indicate that the leaks will not affect the company's plans for an upcoming extended trailer. Take-Two’s filing had initially set a deadline of September 4th for Discord and Microsoft to produce the requested information, contingent upon formal service of the documents.
