Forsaken Summer Games: Event Dates, Tix Rewards, and Update Contents

Forsaken’s Summer Games event went live on August 29, 2026, alongside version 5.1.0, turning the one-vs-all Roblox survival game into a five-week seasonal grind. The event runs on a battle-pass style structure, with Summer EXP and Tix earned through normal play and spent on tiered rewards that refresh weekly. The same patch also shipped a large content drop covering skins, maps, emotes, music, a new game mode, and an accessibility screen.

Quick answer: Play rounds and complete objectives to earn Summer EXP and Tix, then spend Tix in the event pass menu to unlock tiers. The event ends October 2, 2026, and new reward tiers unlock once per week for three weeks.

Summer Games event dates and duration

The event window is fixed and does not extend past its end date. Rewards you have not unlocked when the timer runs out are gone with the pass, so the Tix you bank matter more than the Summer EXP you accumulate at the tail end.

Week 1 content launched with the update itself. The remaining reward sets appear on a weekly cadence, so checking the pass menu each week is the only way to see what has been added.

How to earn Summer EXP and Tix

Tip: Tix are the spending currency and Summer EXP tracks event progression. Earning one does not automatically grant the other at the same rate, so plan around Tix totals when deciding which tiers to prioritize.

Tix Shop prices

Tix can also be bought outright with Robux through the Tix Shop, which sits alongside the event pass in the lobby menus. The packs scale in size, with the larger bundles offering more Tix per Robux spent.

New game modes and systems

The Randomizer gamemode removes character selection entirely. You are assigned whatever you spawn as, and the round plays out around whatever team composition the game hands your lobby. It rewards adapting to an unfamiliar kit rather than locking in a main.

A music player built in partnership with RELICS.XYZ was added to the lobby. You can play Base LMS tracks solo without spending anything, and the separate Boombox purchase unlocks a wearable boombox, three additional playlists with song IDs, and the ability to play music for other players in the lobby.

An accessibility screen now appears before you join a match, for both new and returning players. It exposes settings that can be adjusted ahead of time, including sensitive music and sound effect options, so photosensitive or noise-sensitive players can configure the game before anything starts. Some LMS rounds also now use unique skies in place of the standard Spectre sky.

Paid packs: Skin Pack #3, emotes, and Boombox

Three Robux bundles arrived with the update, sold separately from the Tix track. The Viral Music Emote Pack grants its emotes on a limited-time basis rather than permanently.

VIP owners received two additions of their own with this patch, a new Elliot (V.I.P.) skin and a new Shedletsky (V.I.P.) skin.

All new skins added in the Summer Games update

New maps, music, and emotes

Two map variants entered rotation. Neon Nights Beach House Paradise was built by saturn_nil, and Ethereal Tempest was a collaboration between saturn_nil and Enoderan. Minor balance passes were applied across every existing map as well.

Animation changes

A batch of animation work landed with the patch, covering both playable skins and lobby NPCs. Butcher Shedletsky received custom animations, Ninja Shedletsky got custom slashes, and Buster Shedletsky was given a custom slash of its own. Gatito 1×1 and Krystal CK both picked up custom animations, and Golden Guest now has animations attached.

On the NPC side, sitting NPCs now use custom animations, Jane Doe as an NPC has reaction animations, and Merely and Seranok have reaction animations as well. Merely and Seranok also appear on the event’s promotional banners.

Common reasons event progress does not register

If your Tix total is not moving, the usual cause is a client running an outdated version. The lobby displays your version number, and an “Outdated” tag next to it means you need to rejoin to pull the current build before event progress will track correctly.

The other frequent issue is expecting rewards that have not been released yet. Tiers for the second and third weeks do not appear on the pass until their respective weeks begin, so an empty stretch on the track is scheduling rather than a bug.

With roughly a month on the clock and three separate reward waves, the pacing favors steady play over a single weekend push. The x2 EXP event makes the opening stretch the most efficient time to build a Tix reserve, and holding some back gives you room to grab whatever lands in the later weekly drops.
