Editorial policy

Clear sourcing and useful details are the basis of our gaming coverage. The standards below apply to news reports, headlines, summaries and game information.

Sources and attribution

Our coverage draws on developer and publisher announcements, official game updates and reporting from other publications. Sources must support the details in the article and receive clear credit with a link.

Articles should explain the news in clear language and add context supported by those sources. Quotations must keep their original meaning and identify the speaker or publication.

Confirmed information and reports

Rumors, leaks and disputed reports need clear labels. Confirmed announcements should be distinguished from expectations. When a date, price or other detail is unknown, the article should say so.

Useful gaming coverage

A report should tell readers what happened, which games or platforms are affected and what the news means for players. The available information should determine its length, without repeated background or unsupported claims.

Bylines and experience

The MaxGG News byline identifies the publication responsible for the article. Interviews, hands-on impressions and event reports require a clear account of that activity. Coverage based on published sources should be described accordingly.

Release dates and service listings

Release plans and subscription catalogs can change. Listings should show the reported dates, relevant platforms or tiers and the source of the information. Readers can check the linked service for current availability in their region.

Corrections and commercial content

Material factual corrections should carry a note explaining the change while preserving the original publication date. Advertising and sponsored material must be clearly identified. Send concerns about an article to [email protected].
