The night of August 22nd and 23rd was a turbulent one for Grand Theft Auto 6 fans: publisher Take-Two Interactive engaged New York courts to uncover insider information, and the controversial Cyberleek coin soared to $13 million (approximately 1.04 billion rubles). It seems the wave of leaks has finally gotten beyond the control of corporate lawyers. Furthermore, the Insider-Gaming editorial team has already been publicly chastised for its own haste.

How Take-Two is taking legal action against Google and the social network X
Take-Two’s legal team has decided to act proactively. A New York court has received fresh subpoenas sent directly to the administrators of the X platform and Google. The goal is quite clear: to extract the personal information of the owner of the banned profile @cyberleek_ar_io and deanonymize the YouTube channel creators who uploaded the leaked footage. Previously, the publisher tried to pressure them through Microsoft and Discord, but now the scale of the hunt has escalated.
Cyberleek’s Financial Triumph and the Failure of Reputable Media
Court reshuffles and corporate pressure suggest a bullying scenario, but in reality, they only added fuel to the fire. The market reacted with a frantic rally—Cyberleek’s token soared, rising from a modest $1 million market cap to a massive $13 million. The hacker literally monetized the rumors surrounding the most anticipated title on the planet.
Amid this frenzy, there were some high-profile screwups in the industry press:
-
A journalist from Insider-Gaming, in a fit of rage, posted a fake story claiming that a full working build of GTA 6 had been leaked online.
-
The article had to be promptly deleted, and the author had to apologize on X for his loss of composure and unverified information.
-
The entire situation surrounding the leak clearly demonstrates the chaos that has descended into the news coverage surrounding the release.
The situation is escalating by the hour, and new evidence could surface at any moment. The developers are completely unable to control GTA 6 leaks.
