Evidence standard

How game data is verified

Every firm compatibility claim should be traceable to an official store, developer, publisher, or support page.

Source priority

  1. Official developer or publisher documentation and support pages.
  2. Official platform store listings.
  3. Official announcements when a stable product page is unavailable.

Community wikis, social posts from unofficial accounts, videos, and editorial articles may help find a lead but do not become the sole evidence for player count, crossplay, or voice status.

Status rules

Crossplay

“Yes” requires clear official support. “No” requires a clear official limitation. Everything else is “Not officially confirmed.” Cross-progression is not treated as crossplay.

Players and co-op mode

The recorded minimum and maximum come from the official cooperative description. Local/couch and online modes are tracked independently.

Voice chat

Proximity, standard, none, and not-confirmed are separate values. We do not infer built-in voice from the general need to communicate.

Price and demos

Free, paid, and demo describe base access rather than a live regional price. Temporary promotions are not treated as permanently free.

Session length

We do not publish an estimate as a fact. Until an official source supports a useful range, the field remains “Not officially confirmed.”

Verification dates and corrections

Dates show when the cited source was checked, not when the game last received an update. A later official statement takes precedence over an older entry.
