Methodology
The calendar syncs against IGDB daily. A change is recorded when a game's rendered date differs from the previous sync at its stated precision, so placeholder-day reshuffles inside the same announced window never count. Ledger start: July 2026. Dates shown honor how precisely each was announced; a game "delayed to 2027" shows the year, not an invented day.
Common questions

- How are delays tracked?
