Survive the Apocalypse Events: Hacker Event Countdown and What’s Next
The Hacker Event is live in Survive the Apocalypse right now, the latest in a steady run of content drops for one of Roblox’s larger zombie-survival experiences. It opened on August 15, 2026 and is scheduled to run through August 22, and more than half a million players have marked themselves interested so far.
Survive the Apocalypse puts you in a collapsed city to loot supplies, build defenses, and outlast waves of zombies long enough to escape. The experience has pulled in more than about 240,000,000 visits and sits at about 400,000 favorites, with about about 21,000 people in its servers as of August 23.
Below is the current schedule, followed by a rundown of what’s live, what just wrapped, and how often new events tend to land. We update this page as the developer’s schedule changes.

The Hacker Event, live now
The Hacker Event opened on August 15, 2026 at 11 a.m. ET (8 a.m. PT, 4 p.m. UK time) and is set to close on August 22 at the same hour. It’s a new-content update — the game’s own description confirms the hacker theme is now live — and it has drawn about 540,000 interested players — a strong turnout, just behind Chapter 2’s total. It has been running for several days with a few days left before it wraps; the exact start and end times are in the schedule above.
Chapter 2, the update just before
Right before the Hacker Event, the developer ran Chapter 2 from August 1 to August 8, 2026. Framed as a long-awaited follow-up, it was the game’s biggest draw of the stretch, with over 600,000 players marking interest — a touch ahead of the Hacker Event’s turnout. Both events ran for a full week and opened at 11 a.m. ET.
How often Survive the Apocalypse gets new events
The two most recent events point to a fast update rhythm: each ran for about seven days and each launched at 11 a.m. ET. If that pattern holds, the next wave should follow soon after the Hacker Event closes on August 22, though the developer hasn’t named or dated it yet. When a new event is announced, it will appear on the calendar above.
