Our method
How we verify
Three levels of evidence: official word (Rockstar Newswire, Take-Two statements), reference press citing internal sources (Bloomberg, IGN, VGC), and everything else — insiders, leaks, community reconstructions — which we label as such. A claim only moves to “Confirmed” when it can be verified at the source.
