Put the release calendar on your site
A free embeddable box of upcoming game releases for any website: a short snippet, no account, no build step. It renders in an isolated shadow root, updates itself from the live calendar daily, and credits the data source with a single link.
The snippet
With every option spelled out (platform, how many, dark or light, how wide):
The box lists the next dated releases, soonest first, and follows the calendar's daily sync: a date that moves in the database moves in the box the next morning.

Common questions
- How do I add the widget to my site?
- Paste the snippet anywhere in the page body where the box should appear; the script renders the list into the box above it. No account or key is needed.
- What does the box show, and when does it change?
- The next dated releases from the calendar, soonest first, with the day and the platforms. The calendar syncs from IGDB every day, so a date that moves in the database moves in the box the next morning; the box itself refreshes within an hour of a sync.
- Why does the snippet have a link in it?
- That link is the credit, and it is the only condition. It sits in your page's own HTML so it works like any other link; the script keeps it visible at the bottom of the box.
- What are the options?
- Four optional attributes: data-platform ("ps5", "xbox", "switch", or "pc"; omit for all platforms), data-limit (1 to 20 releases, default 8), data-theme ("dark", "light", or "auto" to follow the reader's system), and data-width (a pixel width from 320 to 1200, default 420, or "full" to fill whatever column you put it in).
- Will it clash with my site's styles?
- No. The widget renders inside a shadow root, so its styles stay in and the host page's styles stay out.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. The data comes from the same daily sync as the calendar. The credit link at the bottom of the box is the only condition.
