Drill to Earth’s Core event
Drill to Earth’s Core W Update: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
Drill to Earth’s Core is one of Roblox’s busier mining games — around about 10,000 players are digging toward the planet’s core at any given moment, on top of about 79,000,000 lifetime visits and about 1,200,000 favorites. The W Update is the engine that keeps that crowd coming back: a content drop the developer ships about every two weeks, each one adding something new to the descent.
Every W Update is a fresh drop, but the slot itself returns like clockwork. The next one is expected around Sunday, October 25 at 5:12 AM ET — our best estimate from the cadence the game has kept so far, since the developer hasn’t posted the exact date yet. We’ll confirm it once it’s announced; the next time and the usual windows are on the card below.

How often the W Update lands
The developer runs the W Update every two weeks — a new drop roughly every fortnight. When one goes live it opens across two set windows on the same day, a couple of hours apart, so players in different parts of the world can all get in near the start. The times below are the usual Saturday slots in Eastern Time, with the spread across the major regions:
| Region | First window | Second window |
|---|---|---|
| US Eastern (ET) | 8:00 AM Sat | 10:00 AM Sat |
| US Pacific (PT) | 5:00 AM Sat | 7:00 AM Sat |
| UK | 1:00 PM Sat | 3:00 PM Sat |
| Central Europe | 2:00 PM Sat | 4:00 PM Sat |
| India (IST) | 6:30 PM Sat | 8:30 PM Sat |
| Japan (JST) | 10:00 PM Sat | 12:00 AM Sun |
| Eastern Australia | 11:00 PM Sat | 1:00 AM Sun |
Both windows fall on Saturday morning in the eastern United States, which puts the opening in Saturday afternoon across Europe and Saturday evening into the night across Asia and Australia. Pick whichever lands at a sensible hour for you. During US daylight saving time the clocks in other regions shift by about an hour relative to ET.
What the W Update brings
The W Update isn’t tied to one theme — it’s an ongoing string of content drops, so what shows up changes from one to the next. We’ll detail the specifics here as soon as the developer spells out what a given drop includes.
Tips for catching it
- Set a reminder for whichever window lands at a convenient hour — the two are only a couple of hours apart, so most players have one that works.
- Jump in close to the start if you want the new content while servers are busiest and groups are easiest to find.
- Missing a W Update isn’t the end of it: the slot comes back in about two weeks, so there’s always a next one.
How it fits the game’s rhythm
The W Update is the backbone of a fairly active events calendar. As of October 18 the game is also running its Halloween Event, with Soul Prison lined up as the next arrival — the kind of themed, one-off content that slots in between the regular W Update drops. Check in every couple of weeks for the update and you’ll usually find one of these seasonal events running alongside it.
