About upcoming-games.org
A release calendar should answer one question fast: what's coming, and when?Most don't. They bury the calendar under ads, autoplaying trailers and editorial modules, and they blur the line between a confirmed date and a vague guess. This site is a deliberate alternative: quick to load, calm to read, and honest about dates.
What makes it different
- Speed first. Server-rendered, edge-cached HTML with almost no JavaScript. No ad or tracking scripts.
- Honest dates. Every game is labelled Confirmed, Window (e.g. “Q4 2026”) or TBA, never dressed up as something firmer than it is.
- Real filtering. Multi-select platform and genre filters plus date windows, all instant and shareable via the URL.
- Built for everyone. Full keyboard support, screen-reader announcements, a no-flash dark mode and a mobile-first layout.
- No tracking. No accounts, no ads, no third-party scripts. We keep only anonymous per-game counts (likes and saves) with no profile of you, and your wishlist itself never leaves your device.
Where the data comes from — and how dates are verified
Release data comes from IGDB, the Internet Game Database (the community-maintained database behind Twitch). The catalog refreshes about once an hour, so a date corrected at the source shows up here the same day — usually within the hour.
Every date is labelled with its real precision, straight from the source data, and never dressed up as something firmer:
- Confirmed — the publisher has committed to an exact day (or at least a specific month).
- Window — only a quarter or year has been announced, e.g. “Q4 2026”. We show the window, not an invented day.
- TBA — no usable date exists yet. We say so instead of guessing.
Take the data with you
- Calendar subscription (webcal). Add every release date to your calendar app and it stays current as dates change:all platforms, or per platform from each platform page (e.g. PS5).
- RSS. Newly confirmed, moved and announced dates as a feed — also readable on the new-dates page.
- JSON API. The normalized catalog is public at
/api/games.json(CORS enabled, cached hourly, no key needed). If you build on it, a link back here is appreciated.
Dates wrong or missing?
Release dates change constantly. IGDB is the source of truth: a correction submitted there flows into this calendar automatically on the next refresh, typically within the hour. Each game page links to its IGDB entry in the footer. Back to the calendar →
