Take-Two Investigates GTA VI Leak Amid Gamer Protest Against Digital-Only Releases
Take-Two is investigating a major leak of Grand Theft Auto VI material attributed to a group called Cyberleek, which claims the breach is a protest against digital-only game releases and anti-consumer practices. The company has filed subpoenas to obtain records from Microsoft and Discord related to the leak. Meanwhile, a community-led boycott of PlayStation platforms is planned from August 23 to 30, coinciding with Gamescom, aiming to oppose Sony's move to end physical game discs by 2028. Rockstar has not confirmed the leak's authenticity.
