Home Alone (Anomaly) Update 6: What’s New & Next Update Countdown

Home Alone (Anomaly) reworks the familiar premise into a Roblox survival game: players fortify a house and hold off a rotating cast of intruders, and the developers keep it fresh with a new update almost every week. With over about 12,000 people playing right now and more than 130 million visits to the game so far, each Wednesday drop lands as a real event for the community.

The newest release is Update 6, which adds two new visitors and a round of fixes. Updates arrive on a steady weekly rhythm rather than a fixed content roadmap, so there is always a current version to dig into and a next one to look forward to. The next update is already on the schedule for Wednesday, August 26 at 1 PM ET.

How often updates land

New updates go live weekly, almost always on Wednesday afternoon in North America. The developers push each one at 1:00 PM ET. Because Home Alone (Anomaly) draws players from around the world, that single release time falls at very different points in the day depending on where you live:

If you miss one week, you never have to wait long: another update follows the next Wednesday at the same time. The next date and the usual release window are on the card above.

What’s new in Update 6

Update 6 is the current version and the focus of most players right now. It expands the roster of threats and cleans up how they move through the house:

• Two new visitors — a Slasher and a Clown join the lineup of intruders you have to outlast.
• Better pathfinding so visitors make their way into the house more convincingly instead of getting stuck.
• Index fix — the Index now loads correctly again.
• Additional bug fixes across the board.

Tips for catching each update

The 1:00 PM ET slot is convenient for daytime players in the Americas and early evening in Europe; players in Asia and Australia will find it lands overnight, so setting a reminder for the following morning is the easier play there. There is no rush to log in the exact minute a version goes live — the new content stays in the game, so you can explore it at your own pace before the next Wednesday. If you do miss a week entirely, the next one lands the following Wednesday at the same time.

How updates fit the game’s rhythm

The weekly update is the backbone of how Home Alone (Anomaly) grows. Alongside it, the developers have rolled out one-off additions over time — new characters, a chores system, and a four-player mode among them — but those arrive as standalone drops rather than on a set schedule. The Wednesday update is the reliable heartbeat you can plan around, and it is where most of the game’s steady stream of new visitors, fixes, and tweaks shows up.
