HOW WE VERIFY

How GTA6Gang separates what Rockstar has confirmed from what has only been reported, how we source, and how we correct mistakes.

November 10, 2026 · Drew Giordano · GTA6Gang Editorial Team

GTA6Gang covers a game that, until November 19, 2026, nobody outside Rockstar could play. That makes honesty about sources the most important part of the job. This page explains how we decide what to publish and how we label it.

How We Label Claims

  • OFFICIAL Stated by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive in a primary source: the Rockstar Newswire, rockstargames.com/VI, Take-Two earnings releases and SEC filings, or official platform store pages. We state these plainly.
  • REPORTED Published by a named news outlet or analyst but not confirmed by Rockstar or Take-Two. We name who reported it and link to it.
  • UNCONFIRMED Leaks, insider claims, data-mines and fan theories. We only cover these when readers are actively hearing about them, and we never present them as fact.

Our Fact Ledger applies these grades claim by claim and publishes the whole dataset as open JSON, so anyone can check our work.

Source Rules

  • Primary first. When an official source exists, we read it ourselves rather than relying on someone's summary. Several outlets agreeing is not the same as confirmation; we have seen multiple outlets repeat the same error.
  • Every external source is linked at the bottom of the article it supports.
  • We don't publish other people's leaked footage or link to it.
  • Numbers are never estimated silently. If a figure is an estimate (an analyst's sales projection, a stand-in stat in a pre-launch tool), the page says so next to the number.

Pre-Launch Pages and What Changes at Launch

Before release, many wiki pages could only describe what Rockstar had shown and what the series' history suggested. Those pages carry status labels such as "Expected" or "Unconfirmed". After launch we are checking each one against the released game. Pages about things that exist in GTA 6 get rewritten with real information. Pages about things that turn out not to be in the game are merged into their category page, with a clear "not in GTA 6" note, so nobody lands on outdated speculation.

A few pre-launch tools (the weapon, vehicle and property calculators) use GTA V data as a stand-in until GTA 6's real values are known. Each one says so on the page.

Who Writes Here, and How

GTA6Gang is an independent fan site run by a small family team. Drew Giordano is the founder and lead editor and reads what we publish. We use AI tools to help research, organize and draft. Every claim is checked against the sources linked on the page, and nothing is published just to fill a keyword. We don't invent experience: until we've actually played something, we won't write as if we have.

GTA6Gang is not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. Grand Theft Auto and related names are trademarks of their owners.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix the page and every place that repeats the claim (summaries, hub pages, structured data), and for significant errors we add a dated note to the article. Earlier this year we graded our own pre-launch predictions in public, including the ones that missed. If you spot an error, tell us.

Dates

"Published" is when a page first went live; "Updated" changes only when the substance of a page changes, not for cosmetic edits.
