The website CyberLeek, identified as a primary hub for the ongoing Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks, has ceased operation. This development follows Take-Two's recent legal actions, including the filing of subpoenas targeting Microsoft and Discord to uncover the identity of the individual or group operating under the CyberLeek persona. Both tech giants have been given a deadline of September 4 to provide relevant user data.
Coinciding with the website's disappearance, the Telegram channel associated with the group has also gone dark, now displaying a message indicating it is unavailable due to copyright infringement. The timing of these shutdowns suggests a direct impact from Take-Two's escalating legal campaign against the leakers.
The leaks themselves have featured substantial content, including footage of a co-protagonist named Jason in Vice City and a scene where the word "leek" is shot into a wall, hinting at potential playable access to the game. CyberLeek had previously asserted that its actions were in defense of gamers' rights, though reports have indicated a connection to a cryptocurrency scheme involving a $CYBERLEEK meme coin. This coin was reportedly intended to fund "a secret project" and influence voting for future leaks, though evidence suggests potential personal financial gain for those involved.
There has been some discrepancy regarding the authenticity of the Telegram channel, with some online communities suggesting that any activity on the platform was the work of impersonators. However, others maintain that both the Telegram channel and the website were officially confirmed by CyberLeek as its legitimate distribution channels.
It remains unclear whether the takedown is a direct result of the subpoenas issued by Take-Two or a separate copyright enforcement measure. Rockstar Games has been contacted for comment. The ultimate impact on the future of GTA 6 leaks is yet to be determined, as the individuals behind them may choose to regroup and operate from alternative platforms.
Despite the leak activity, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has expressed no concern that the legal battles will affect Grand Theft Auto 6's sales. The game has already achieved significant commercial success, becoming a top seller on the PlayStation Store worldwide shortly after pre-orders became available. Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
