Methodology: how we verify our GTA 6 data

Where do the numbers you read here come from? Every fact, price and date published on Loreside about GTA 6 follows the rules below.

Every fact has a source

A fact is published with a public source and the date it was checked. If the source disappears or changes, the fact is corrected or removed.

Prices are recorded, not estimated

A price is recorded as displayed by an official storefront on a given day, with its currency. Conversions and comparisons are always derived from those records, and each reading keeps its date.

No leaks, no rumours

Loreside does not relay leaked material. Unconfirmed information about GTA 6 is not published here, even when it circulates widely.

Corrections are visible

Corrections are dated and kept. A corrected page shows when it was last changed.

Prices refresh themselves

Every morning a program re-reads the product pages of every storefront we track and compares the amounts to those already recorded. An unchanged price has its verification date moved forward; a price that moves creates a new row, and the old one stays. The history therefore keeps real changes, not the program's visits.

What the collection refuses to do

It never assigns a price to an edition by inference: every amount is tied to the storefront's own product identifier. It writes nothing when the two figures the storefront publishes, the formatted amount and its numeric value, disagree. And if an unusual share of storefronts becomes unreadable, it writes nothing at all: such a rate points to a format change, not a price movement.

No currency conversion

A price is compared against something denominated in the same currency, or it is not compared. Converting would mean picking a rate and a day, producing our figure rather than the source's. That is why some markets appear without a comparison rather than with an approximation.

The images are generated, and the page says so

The ambient images that dress the pages of this site are produced by an image generator. None of them depicts a real person, a real place, or a scene from the game: they are atmospheric backdrops, deliberately dark and without an identifiable subject.

Every page that carries one says so on the page itself, next to its content and not in a footer, in line with Article 50 of the European regulation on artificial intelligence.

Share images, the ones that appear when a link is posted on a network, are composed typographically from the page title: they are not generated. Should a screenshot of the game ever appear here, it would come from the publisher's official materials and be credited as such.
