How we handle news
We do not publish a separate article for every headline. Where news changes an answer, we update the guide that owns that answer and add a line here. That keeps one correct page per topic instead of many out-of-date ones. See our editorial policy.
Where official news appears first
- Rockstar Games' official GTA VI page.
- Rockstar's Newswire and social channels.
- Take-Two Interactive's investor statements.
