We’re following a sudden escalation in the ongoing GTA 6 leak saga after one of the alleged leak hubs reportedly went offline. Per Eurogamer, the group known as CyberLeek appears to have lost access to at least one public-facing channel, but the story is far from over — and we’re taking everything here with a pinch of salt.
What Was Reported
According to Eurogamer, the CyberLeek website has gone offline, and what was presented as the group’s Telegram channel now shows only the message: "This channel is unavailable due to copyright infringement". This development was first published in an original story at 12.30pm BST and updated at 3.30pm with fresh information that undermines any notion the leaks are finished.
The leaks themselves have been described as substantive, allegedly showing co-protagonist Jason tearing around Vice City in a supercar and shooting the word "leek" into a wall — if true, concrete in-game footage is clearly involved. Eurogamer also reports that a seventh clip has reportedly surfaced online, and gameplay details are being discussed on Reddit, suggesting whoever is behind the leaks may still have access to unreleased footage even with one of their main hubs offline.
The Source & Credibility
We’re treating the situation cautiously. Eurogamer notes contradictory evidence about what channels genuinely belonged to CyberLeek: some Redditors claim CyberLeek never operated a Telegram channel and that impersonators reposted genuine leaks, while others insist the Telegram and website were the only channels the group confirmed as legitimate. Take this with a pinch of salt.
What complicates attribution further is the curious financial angle tied to the leaks. CyberLeek has publicly framed the leaks as being done "in the name of gamers' rights", but the group also promotes a "$CYBERLEEK meme coin" that it claims would be used to vote for new video leaks. Eurogamer reports that Polygon found evidence suggesting the scheme might be geared toward personal gain — an allegation we’re noting but not endorsing as fact.
On the legal front, Eurogamer says Take-Two filed subpoenas targeting Microsoft and Discord, seeking information that could identify the person or persons behind the CyberLeek persona. Per the report, both companies have until 4th September to hand over relevant account data. It’s not clear whether the apparent takedown of the website and Telegram channel is directly linked to those subpoenas or to a separate copyright enforcement action, and Eurogamer says it’s asked Rockstar for comment.
What It Could Mean
If the CyberLeek website has gone offline as reported, that could represent a tactical win for Take-Two’s legal efforts — or simply a disruption while whoever is leaking content regroups. The appearance of a seventh clip, however, indicates the latter is at least possible: even with one hub offline, leaks may continue to spread through alternative channels and reposts.
There’s also the public relations angle. Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has reportedly said he isn’t concerned the company’s legal battle could impact GTA 6 sales. The game was made available to pre-order “late last month” and allegedly became a top seller on the PlayStation Store worldwide, per Eurogamer. Whether legal action quiets the leakers or simply forces them to scatter to new platforms remains unknown.
We’ve covered related developments, including Take-Two Subpoenas Microsoft And Discord and prior warnings from the group in CYBERLEEK Warns Rockstar, and the tangled mix of leak posts, reposts and impersonators means verifying provenance is still hard. Take this reporting with a pinch of salt until more concrete evidence emerges.
Why This Matters
This episode matters for several reasons. First, it highlights how leaks can move beyond simple file drops into coordinated social and financial campaigns — the presence of a purported $CYBERLEEK meme coin tied to leak dissemination changes the stakes if true. Second, it demonstrates how legal tools like subpoenas to third parties such as Microsoft and Discord are being used to unmask anonymous actors — and that those companies have a legal timetable to respond, according to Eurogamer.
Finally, the optics around GTA 6 remain delicate: despite the controversy, Strauss Zelnick says he’s not worried about sales, and the game continues to attract strong pre-order interest, per reporting. Whether the leaks fizzle out because of legal pressure or persist via new channels — as suggested by that seventh clip — will shape how publishers and platforms handle similar incidents in the future. We’ll keep watching and will update as more verifiable facts emerge.
