How to check any of it yourself

The store record is machine readable without an account or a key: the app details endpoint returns the price, the platform flags, the supported languages and the system requirements, and the news endpoint returns every announcement in full text. Both take the appid 1867240. That is where the unlock instant on the release page comes from, and it is why that page has no separately maintained date to go stale.

Where this site says it does not know

Two questions have no published answer and are marked as such rather than filled in: crossplay and cross-progression, and any cash payout rate beyond the single worked example on the economy page. A third, the anti-cheat product, was withheld by the studio until the store page named it; the anti-cheat page has what that notice says.

Found something wrong?

Tell us which page and which sentence and we will check it against the source and correct it. Corrections that change a fact get an entry on the timeline so the change is visible rather than silent.
