7 Days Cat-Sitting: Hard Mode Start Time, Countdown, What’s Next
7 Days Cat-Sitting has its next content drop on the calendar: an event the developer is calling Hard Mode, scheduled to begin on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET (7:00 a.m. PT, 14:00 UTC). The studio, HELP ME PLEASE studios, has kept the specifics under wraps for now — the event carries only a “stay tuned” teaser — but interest is already building, with about 21,000 players marked as interested ahead of launch.
The game itself plays against type. It presents as a cute, ordinary cat-sitting sim and then turns — the premise is that the job goes badly wrong and the experience slides into horror. That hook has made it one of Roblox’s busier experiences right now: it is holding about 14,000 concurrent players, with about 81,000,000 lifetime visits and about 210,000 favorites.
No event is live in the game right now — the most recent one wrapped a few days before Hard Mode opens. Lately the developer has settled into a roughly weekly rhythm, with events landing on October 10, October 17, and now October 24. Last updated October 22.

Current and upcoming events
Hard Mode — starts October 24
Hard Mode is the next scheduled event and the one drawing the most attention this week. It opens Saturday, October 24, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET (7:00 a.m. PT, 14:00 UTC) and runs through the afternoon of Monday, October 26, closing around 2:20 p.m. ET. The name points to a tougher spin on the core experience, but the developer is holding details back behind a “stay tuned” note, so treat the exact contents as unconfirmed until it goes live. It currently has about 21,000 interested players, a figure that should keep climbing as the start draws closer. Exact start and end times are shown in the schedule above.
Endless Mode — ended October 19
Endless Mode ran from October 17 to October 19, 2026, opening at 1:00 p.m. ET on the 17th and closing roughly two days later. It was the most recent event before Hard Mode and pulled in about 28,000 interested players, a turnout that sat just behind the event before it. The name points to an open-ended, keep-going variant rather than a fixed run.
New Ending — ended October 13
Before that, the New Ending event ran from October 10 to October 13, 2026, starting at 10:30 a.m. ET on the 10th. It was the strongest-drawing of the three recent events, with about 33,000 interested players. The title suggests the update added a fresh conclusion to the game’s story — a natural fit for a horror experience built around where its narrative lands.
