This page is published so people can see our editorial standard. These are the rules we adhere to.
Topic status labels
Each claim is labelled with a status - confirmed, trailer-inferred, historical comparison, community expectation, speculative. Articles with a mixed status will state that clearly.
Source discipline
Confirmed information can be obtained from Rockstar Newswire, on-screen trailer text, or attributed statements from major news outlets. Information gathered from trailers is cited with the trailer name and frame range. Comparisons with a previous game cite that game directly. Speculation will be marked as such.
What we don't do
Republish leaked material. Treat conjecture as fact. Keyword stuff. Mass-produce article clones. Redirect readers to partner sites arbitrarily.
