Editorial standards: where our reporting comes from

Every GTA6 LIFE article starts from a named, dated source linked to its origin. With Grand Theft Auto VI due on November 19, 2026, claims about the game travel faster than anyone can check them, and a reader is entitled to know where one comes from. The site is published by ARIA Solutions, a French sole trader.

The four source levels

Level	What it means	The verbs we allow ourselves
1. Official	Rockstar Newswire, the Rockstar Games account on X, a Take-Two press release or quarterly results, an official product page	announces, confirms, publishes
2. Established press	Bloomberg, VGC, Eurogamer, IGN, GamesIndustry.biz, the BBC	reports, says, according to
3. Named insider, former employee, analyst	the person is named and their track record given	claims, estimates, argues
4. Rumour, anonymous account, forum	covered only when the story is already documented elsewhere	alleges, is said to

The verb follows the level, with no exceptions. “Confirms” belongs to level 1 and nowhere else: put “Rockstar confirms” above a post from an anonymous account and you lose a reader for good. When an article rests on several sources, the weakest one sets the verb in the headline.

Every article ends with its list of sources and their links. A level 4 story is still publishable if it already circulates elsewhere, provided the headline never presents it as settled. A flat assertion in a headline over level 3 or level 4 reporting is a fault, not a slip.

Dates, and the original source

Undated information goes stale in silence. We write “on August 26, 2026” or “on the February 4, 2026 earnings call”, never “recently”. Every article carries its publication date and, if it was changed afterwards, the date of that update, and both are visible.

When a Jason Schreier story passes through three sites before reaching us, the source is still Bloomberg, and Bloomberg is what we link to. If we found it through someone else, we say so: “reported by Bloomberg, spotted by VGC”.

Correcting a mistake

A factual error is corrected inside the article, and the correction is flagged there: what was written, what it became, on what date. Nothing is quietly rewritten to make the trace disappear. That covers a wrong figure, a wrong date, a misattributed quote, a source level we were too generous with. Typos and dead links are fixed without a note.

Every reported error is checked before it is corrected, including when it is reported insistently. If Rockstar Games officially announces something we had handled at level 3, the article is updated and its date moves.

What we do not know

When something is missing, we write it down: “no PC version has been announced to date” is information, silence on the subject is not. We do not plug a hole with a guess dressed up as half a fact, and we do not lay out two opposing readings and settle neither. Either we settle it and say what we are relying on, or we write that we do not know.

Leaks

Leaked material is covered in text, on the site only, never on our social accounts. No image, no video, no mirror, no direct link to leaked content. We describe what is claimed, we name who claims it, and we state what Rockstar Games has and has not confirmed. The Rockstar visuals we publish are official press images only, credited, illustrating an article.

Independence and money

GTA6 LIFE has no link to Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. Grand Theft Auto and GTA are registered trademarks of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Traffic is measured with Umami, self-hosted, without cookies and without personal data.

The « See on Amazon » buttons are affiliate links, live since September 3, 2026. They decide nothing: products are ranked by the lowest recorded price, and there is no commission-rate field anywhere in the site data. The prices shown are our own press readings, with their date and the outlet that published them; none is an Amazon price. The detail is on the about page. Awin and Impact links will follow once the retailer applications clear.

Telling us something

For an error, a missing source or a correction request: [email protected] in English, [email protected] in French. A report that comes with a link to the original source is handled far faster.
