Editorial Policy

At DayOne, we love games. You can expect us to produce a variety of content, from news reporting, opinion pieces, previews and reviews. We also host live podcast shows, like the DayOne Podcast and Headlines, among others, and when possible, all of our reviews have video content produced to accompany the written piece.

We’re an independent publication focused on all platforms, and we certainly haven’t forgotten our Xbox roots, though as lovers of video games, we cover releases on all platforms as best as time and availability allows. You can find all of our content at the following links:

• Facebook
• X
• BlueSky
• YouTube
• Instagram
• Spotify
• Twitch
• Tiktok
• Discord
• Forums

DayOne is primarily readership funded, via our new memberships here on the site or via legacy Patreon contributions. If you love what we do, consider supporting us directly.

Advertising

As an independent outlet, we don’t have large departments to handle separate activities. Our team and our content will only ever be posted at our discretion, and we’re never influenced by commercial offers, compliments or large volumes of cold hard cash.

Affiliate Policies

We occasionally link to retailers (Amazon, Xbox etc) and may receive money from purchases made by our users. However, these links have no effect on our editorial decisions, and typically appear in useful places, like alerting our community to deals that may be relevant to them, or directly to the a platform holder’s digital store on our reviews for users to buy their games directly. The language will typically look something like this:

“Buy this product on Amazon”
