Midnight, in your local time
There is no announced PC version. Pre-load opens a week early, so by the night of the 18th there's already an audience awake and waiting.

That night brings a concentration of viewers hunting for streams that you only get a few times a year. The difference isn't who plays best, it's who shows up with something built: a running timer, visible goals, and a reason for chat to stay. Whoever improvises is competing for the same attention with nothing to offer.
Twitch, Kick, YouTube, StreamElements and Streamlabs all feeding the same clock. You'll be in more than one place that night — don't let your time depend on where support lands.
Set milestones before you start — extra hours, challenges, penalties — and put them on screen. That's what turns a passing viewer into someone taking part.
Trigger a Happy Hour window at the start, when your audience peak is highest, and make every contribution count double for that stretch.
When you wrap, you get a summary with your real marathon numbers, ready to share with whoever missed it.
November 19, 2026. Pre-load opens on November 12, 2026. This countdown targets midnight in your local time.
PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at launch. There is no announced PC version so far.
There's no magic number. Most people start at midnight and hold for 12 to 24 hours, letting contributions extend the clock. Better to start short and run long than announce 48 hours and fall short.
Yes. TriBathon connects to both natively and adds events from each to the same timer, so you don't have to pick where support comes in.
No. You can create an account, connect your platforms and have the timer running in OBS for free.
Connect your platforms once, set your rules, and reach November 19 with everything already in place.
