When should I expect to see a particular game reviewed on GameSpot?
We review most games on or around the day on which they ship to retail channels. However, in some cases, we need extra time. This can be for a variety of different reasons, such as to extensively test multiplayer features under realistic gameplay conditions, or because we were not given access to final review code from a game’s publisher and needed to purchase the game at retail to begin our testing. We appreciate your patience in these instances, but our stance on review timeliness is simple: We do not rush reviews. The timeliness of our coverage is extremely important to us, but a review is never rushed at the expense of its accuracy. Our editors are always given extra time on assignments should they require it.
