How we decide what is "confirmed"
We count something as confirmed only if it comes from Rockstar Games directly (its website, Newswire, trailers or official social accounts), from Take-Two Interactive's public statements and earnings calls, or from official store listings on PlayStation and Xbox. Reports from news outlets are used to locate these statements, not as a replacement for them. Leaks, insider claims and "dataminer" posts are never treated as confirmed. Read more on our About page.
