Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY Update 17: Start Time & Countdown

Updated October 21, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 11K playing now

Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY is Rumble Studios’ long-running pet-collecting simulator on Roblox, a game that has pulled in more than about 620,000,000 visits and close to about 290,000 favorites over its lifetime, with about 11,000 players in it right now. What keeps that crowd coming back is a near-constant flow of content: Rumble ships a fresh update on a roughly weekly beat, and Update 17 is the version live now.

Rather than flipping a single switch, each update rolls out across a handful of set times over the weekend, so players in every part of the world get a convenient moment to log in and grab what’s new. The next update’s start time and the usual weekend windows are on the card below.

How often updates land

A new update lands about weekly — in practice, across the weekend. Rumble spreads the rollout over three recurring windows:

DayStart time (ET)
Friday4:00 PM ET
Saturday4:00 PM ET
Sunday5:00 PM ET

Those multiple windows exist for one reason: the player base is scattered across every timezone, and staggering the rollout over the weekend gives people in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania a slot that falls at a workable hour. Taking the Friday 4:00 PM ET window as the reference, that lands at roughly 1:00 PM on the US West Coast, 9:00 PM in the UK, 10:00 PM across central Europe, 1:30 AM Saturday in India, 5:00 AM Saturday in Japan, and about 7:00 AM Saturday on Australia’s east coast.

Our best estimate for the next drop is Friday, October 23 at 4 PM ET, projected from the usual weekly rhythm. We confirm the time here once Rumble posts the official schedule.

What’s new in Update 17

Update 17 is the current release, and it is the version the game is running on as of October 21. Rumble publishes the full patch notes as the update goes live across the weekend windows, so the complete breakdown arrives with the drop itself. Updates on this scale typically fold in fresh content to chase — new eggs and pets, new areas or worlds to unlock, and the balance tweaks and quality-of-life fixes that come with a weekly cadence — and we’ll add the specifics once Rumble confirms them.

Tips for catching it

  • Pick whichever of the three windows falls at a comfortable hour where you live rather than chasing the earliest one — the content is the same across all of them.
  • Logging in near the start of a window means fresh content and an active server, which helps if the update includes a limited hatch or a launch-day bonus.
  • If you miss every window this weekend, there is no need to rush. The next update comes around on the same weekly rhythm, so the slot returns.

How it fits the game’s rhythm

The weekly update is the backbone of Bubble Gum Simulator INFINITY’s calendar, but it is not the only thing Rumble runs. Past limited-time events, including Halloween content and the Cartoon Egg Spawn runs, have layered on top of that steady cadence before — though none of them are running right now. The card above reflects what’s actually live.
