Editorial policy

When we get it wrong, we fix it openly.

Every article on Next Quest Picks is researched and analyzed before it is published, but mistakes can still happen and game details change. This policy explains how we find, fix, and label errors.

Last updated: September 26, 2026

What counts as an error

We correct anything that is factually wrong or no longer true. Disagreeing with a recommendation is welcome too, but it is handled differently, because our picks are opinions based on the method explained on How We Pick Games.

We will correct

  • wrong platforms, release dates, or system requirements
  • outdated subscription status, such as a game that has left Game Pass
  • incorrect age ratings or content details
  • wrong facts about a game’s features, story, or co-op options
  • broken or incorrect links
  • spelling mistakes in names and titles

We treat as feedback

  • disagreement with which games we included
  • disagreement with our rankings or opinions
  • suggestions for games we did not cover

We read all feedback and use it when we review our articles. If a ranking was based on a factual mistake, we treat it as an error and correct it.

How to report an error

Email contact@nextquestpicks.com with the subject line “Correction request”. To help us check it quickly, please include:

  • the full URL of the article
  • the sentence or section that contains the error
  • what you believe is correct
  • a link to an official source if you have one, such as a store page, the developer’s website, or a rating board

We do not use contact forms. All correction requests are handled by email, and we reply from the same address. See our Contact page for other ways to reach us.

What happens after you report it

Every report goes through the same steps.

  1. We review your report

    A member of our team reads every correction request and checks which article and claim it refers to.

  2. We verify the facts

    We check the claim against official sources, such as store pages, developer websites, patch notes, the ESRB, and PEGI.

  3. We fix the article

    If the error is confirmed, we correct the article as quickly as possible and add a note where the policy below requires one.

  4. We let you know

    We reply by email to tell you what we found and what we changed. If we decide no change is needed, we explain why.

How we label changes

Like patch notes for our articles, each kind of change gets a clear label, so you always know what changed and when. Notes appear at the end of the article, and the article’s “last updated” date changes too.

Change types and example notes
Minor fix

Typos and small wording fixes

Fixed without a note when the meaning of the article does not change.

No note shown.

Update

Information that changed after publishing

Used when the article was correct at the time, but something has since changed.

Update (month day, year): This game left Game Pass on [date]. We have updated its availability details.

Clarification

Correct but unclear wording

Used when a statement was accurate but could be misread.

Clarification (month day, year): We clarified that this game’s co-op mode is online only and does not support split-screen.

Correction

A factual error we published

Used when we got a fact wrong. We state what was wrong and what is correct. If the error affected a recommendation, we say so and adjust or remove that pick.

Correction (month day, year): An earlier version of this article said this game was available on Nintendo Switch 2. It is not. We have corrected the platform list.

Our principles

  • We never hide corrections. Factual errors are corrected with a visible note, not quietly edited away.
  • We do not delete articles to hide mistakes. If an article can no longer be kept accurate, we explain why before removing or replacing it.
  • Corrections are not influenced by money. Requests from developers, publishers, or advertisers are checked the same way as reader reports. We do not change our opinions or rankings because a company asks. Read more in our Disclaimer.
  • Your email stays private. We use your report only to review and respond to it, as explained in our Privacy Policy. We will not name you in a correction note without your permission.

Help us keep every pick accurate

If something in one of our articles looks wrong or out of date, tell us and we will check it.
