Almost certainly between 7 and 31 October 2026 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.

Where we started The rumours alone Nothing quite like this has launched before, so there is no past pattern to lean on — everything here comes from what people are reporting.

Reports behind it 1 separate story Found across 1 article. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.

Stated as fact

Says revealed 5 November 2026

Decent track record Moved our date 252 days earlier

Tom's Guide usually calls things later than they happen, so we pulled this 15 days earlier before believing it.

Numbers, for the curious

The 80% range runs 7 Oct 2026 to 31 Oct 2026 (24 days wide), with a standard deviation of 20 days. Starting model: uninformative+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).
