Editorial standards
GTA6 Cartel is an independent fan site. These are the rules we hold ourselves to when we publish anything about Grand Theft Auto VI — and how to tell us when we get it wrong.
Who publishes here
Articles and guides are published by the GTA6 Cartel editorial desk, which signs its work as @GTA6Cartel. The forum and the mod library are written by community members, who sign with their own accounts.
GTA6 Cartel is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. We have no early access, no review copies and no inside line. When we know something, it is because it was published somewhere we can point you to.
Where our facts come from
Primary sources first: the Rockstar Newswire, Take-Two's earnings calls and investor materials, official trailers and the game's own store pages. When a primary source exists, we link it.
An aggregator headline is not a source. If a claim only exists because one site repeated another, we treat it as unverified and say so, even when everyone else is running it as fact.
Rumours, leaks and what we refuse to state as fact
Leaks and rumours are worth covering, but they are labelled. If Rockstar has not confirmed something, the article says it is not confirmed — in the text, not buried in a disclaimer at the bottom.
We would rather publish “we don't know yet” than guess. Several of our most-read articles exist specifically to debunk a claim that spread because nobody checked it.
Updates and freshness
Our evergreen guides — the release date, the PC version, system requirements, editions — live at one URL and are updated in place as facts change. We do not republish them as new articles to farm freshness.
Every article shows when it was published and, when it differs, when it was last updated. Those dates are real: they change when the text changes, not on a schedule.
Corrections
If we publish something wrong, we fix it on the same URL rather than quietly deleting it, and we note what changed and when.
Found an error? Email [email protected] with the URL and what you believe is incorrect. Corrections are welcome from anyone; you do not need an account.
Independence and affiliate links
Some articles contain Amazon affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Those links never decide what we recommend, and no article is written because a link exists in it.
We do not accept payment for coverage, positive reviews, or placement in the mod library.
Mods and community content
Every mod uploaded to GTA6 Cartel is reviewed by a human before it appears in the library. A curator checks each submission; nothing is auto-imported.
Forum threads, replies and comments are the opinions of the members who wrote them, not editorial positions of GTA6 Cartel.
Tell us we're wrong
Corrections, missing context and sourcing questions all go to the same place. We read everything.
