Take-Two Sues PlayerAuctions Over Sale of Hacked GTA Online Accounts

The lawsuit accuses the platform of facilitating unauthorized sales that disrupt game balance and infringe on intellectual property rights.

Take-Two Interactive has filed a lawsuit against PlayerAuctions, alleging the sale of hacked and modified Grand Theft Auto Online accounts and assets.
The company claims PlayerAuctions' platform enables users to violate Rockstar's terms of service by selling unauthorized in-game content and virtual currency.
Take-Two accuses PlayerAuctions of profiting millions of dollars from these activities and ignoring cease-and-desist orders sent by the publisher.
The lawsuit highlights that such sales create an unfair playing field, pressuring legitimate players to purchase unauthorized goods to compete.
PlayerAuctions has faced similar allegations from other companies, including Roblox, which filed a lawsuit against the platform in February 2025.
