Adopt Me updates every Friday morning Pacific time, and the next day, Saturday, brings Admin Abuse with boosts and giveaways. The schedule has held all through 2026. Outside the US, the times move with American daylight saving, and the next shift is November 1.
Know the weekly schedule
| What | When | Pacific | UTC, until Nov 1 | UTC, after Nov 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Update (release notes) | Friday | ~8 a.m. | ~15:00 | ~16:00 |
| Admin Abuse | Saturday | 9 a.m. | 16:00 | 17:00 |
| Weekly News video | Monday | ~9 a.m. | ~16:00 | ~17:00 |
The developers run on Pacific time, so in the US nothing moves when the clocks change. In UTC and most of the world, everything shifts by an hour: in January and February 2026 Friday updates landed at 16:00 UTC, from March at 15:00 UTC.
Admin Abuse lasts about half an hour
Recent Admin Abuse events ran 30–35 minutes. During the event you get triple Bucks and triple pet XP, then double until the end of the hour. We log in five minutes early: it's short, and showing up 20 minutes late means missing most of it.
Catch up on the last few weeks
Halloween 2026 runs October 3 – November 2, with a new week every Friday:
| Week | Date | What was added |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sat Oct 3 | live start at Admin Abuse: Ghost Gallery, the Crypt with Crypt Keys, Jester Dragon for 1,000 Robux |
| 2 | Fri Oct 9 | Hauntlet 2, Poltergeist Box, Skelicorn for 120,000 Candy Corn |
| 3 | Fri Oct 16 | Stitches' Spotlight, Copycat for 600 Robux |
| 4 | Fri Oct 23 | Where Bear?, Count Slothula for 99 Robux, Stray Cat Dragon for 120,000 Candy Corn |
Before Halloween: September 25 brought the Monster Mansion house, September 18 the Cat Cafe and the Throwback Egg, September 11 the new Star Rewards with the Gemstone Egg, and August 29 the Fairytale Egg replaced the Endangered Egg. The Trading Hub has been live since July 31.
Every event pet and its value is on the Halloween 2026 event page.
See what's coming next
- Saturday, October 31 — Admin Abuse on Halloween itself, the last chance at Candy Corn boosts.
- Monday, November 2 — the event ends. Halloween pets leave the game and become trade-only.
- December — the winter event. Nothing's announced, but last year's started December 5, 2025, so early December fits the pattern.
Before every Friday we open value changes: new pets swing hardest in the first days after an update, and rushing a trade rarely pays.
The Admin Abuse trap is temporary pets. On October 24 everyone got a Fly Ride Jester Dragon, in September a Bat Dragon, and in November 2025 a mega neon Shadow Dragon. Those pets vanish as soon as you leave the game and can't be traded.
Questions
What time does the Adopt Me update come out?

November 2, 2026. After that the event pets and items leave the game and can only be traded for.
