Verification brief

What the story can safely say

Standards

Why It Matters

Trailer material is useful because it can be checked against frames, screenshots, official captions, and later Rockstar page updates.

What Is Confirmed

Kotaku is the cited report. That makes the story trackable, but it does not make every detail official Rockstar or Take-Two information.

What Is Not Confirmed

A visual read is not confirmation of a mechanic, mission, district name, or story beat unless Rockstar labels it or repeats it elsewhere.

Source Note
