Source hierarchy
Official Rockstar Games, PlayStation, Xbox, and retailer pages are preferred. Secondary reporting may provide context, but it does not override a primary source.
Editorial policy
How DayOneReady decides what is worth publishing.
Our job is to reduce launch-day uncertainty. That requires clear sourcing, useful original work, and the discipline to say “not confirmed” when the evidence is not there.
Publication threshold
A monitoring run creates a new update only when it finds a material, source-backed change. A day with no change is recorded internally instead of becoming a thin public article.
Updates and corrections
Material factual changes update the visible reviewed date. Substantive errors are corrected as soon as they are confirmed, and readers can report a problem through the contact page.
Commercial independence
Some outbound product links may earn a commission. Recommendations must still match the reader's platform, region, use case, and budget. Sponsored placement is labelled and never presented as verified editorial evidence.
Use of automation and AI
Automated systems can monitor feeds, compare source URLs, and help prepare drafts. Publication requires a material source-backed input and a factual validation pass. Pages that only repeat existing news without adding a decision tool, comparison, checklist, calculation, or safety warning are not acceptable.
Corrections
Send the page URL, the statement you believe is wrong, and a supporting primary source. That gives us enough context to verify and correct the page.
