GTA6 LIFE editorial standards
Updated 4 September 2026
Every GTA6 LIFE article carries the level of its sources. Everything below follows from that: with Grand Theft Auto VI due on November 19, 2026, information about the game travels faster than anyone can check it, and a reader is entitled to know where a claim comes from before deciding whether to believe it.
The site is published by ARIA Solutions, a French sole trader. It has no connection to Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.
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, unverified |
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. The reverse matters too: a Newswire announcement should not be dressed up as a well-informed rumour.
When an article rests on several sources, the level shown is that of the weakest one. A level 1 fact with a level 4 detail attached to it makes a level 4 article.
Why we print the level at all
Most sites run the official statement and the anonymous post in the same typeface, in the same confident tone. The reader sorts it out alone, or does not sort it out at all. We would rather show our sorting.
In practice the level sits on the article itself, next to the list of sources and their links. A level 4 story is still publishable, provided it already circulates elsewhere and 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.
Always date it
Undated information goes stale in silence. We write “on August 26, 2026” rather than “recently”, and “on the February 4, 2026 earnings call” rather than “during a recent appearance”.
Every article carries its publication date and, if it was changed afterwards, the date of that update. Both are visible. That is what lets you judge a forecast a few months later, which is exactly what vague wording prevents.
The origin, never the aggregator
When a Jason Schreier report passes through three sites before reaching us, the source is still Bloomberg. We cite the origin and we link to it.
If we found the story through someone else, we say that too: “reported by Bloomberg, spotted by VGC”. Crediting a site that only translated the piece erases the work of whoever broke it, and denies the reader the one link worth having.
Correcting a mistake
A factual error is corrected inside the article, and the correction is flagged there: what was written, what it became, and on what date. The piece is not quietly rewritten to make the trace disappear. That applies to a wrong figure, a wrong date, a misattributed quote, or a source level we were too generous with.
Typos and dead links are fixed without any note. Nobody needs a correction box for a missing plural.
When the information itself changes, say Rockstar Games officially announces something we had handled at level 3, the article is updated and its update date moves.
Every reported error is verified before it is corrected, including when it is reported to us insistently.
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 half dressed up as a half fact, and we do not hide behind the double hedge, that habit of laying out two opposing readings and settling neither. Either we settle it and say what we are relying on, or we write that we do not know.
How these texts are written
GTA6 LIFE content is written and reviewed by artificial intelligence, under the publisher’s editorial responsibility. We write that plainly rather than leave the question hanging.
Nothing goes live before the facts, the figures, the dates, the names and the outbound links have each been traced back to a dated source file. Articles are signed “GTA6 LIFE” and never with a person’s name: responsibility sits with the publisher, not with an individual byline.
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, however widely it has spread elsewhere.
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, used as editorial illustration inside 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 site plans to add affiliate links later, through Amazon Associates and Awin. None are live today. On the day they are, they will be flagged as such on the pages that carry them.
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 than one without.
