Collect The Alphabet Update + AA: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown

Updated November 4, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 224 playing now

Update + AA is the recurring content drop in Collect The Alphabet, the letter-hunting Roblox game from Cosmic Collection where the whole loop is tracking down the alphabet one character at a time. The game has pulled in about 25,000,000 lifetime visits and keeps a steady crowd in its rooms, with about 220 players exploring right now.

Rather than landing once and disappearing, Update + AA comes back on a regular rhythm. It runs about monthly, which works out to roughly once every four weeks, and each return pairs a fresh game update with new alphabet content to chase. The next one is set for Saturday, November 7 at 12 PM ET; the exact date and the usual start time are on the card below.

How often Update + AA runs

Update + AA follows a monthly beat. It has returned 2 times so far, spaced about four weeks apart, and each run opens on a Saturday at 12:00 PM ET. The developer uses that single midday slot so the widest span of players can log on at a reasonable hour.

A noon-Eastern start lands at a very different point on the clock depending on where you play. Here is how 12:00 PM ET translates across the major regions:

  • US Eastern — 12:00 PM (noon)
  • US Pacific — 9:00 AM
  • UK — 5:00 PM
  • Central Europe — 6:00 PM
  • India — 10:30 PM
  • Japan — 2:00 AM (Sunday)
  • Australia (AEDT) — 4:00 AM (Sunday)

What happens in Update + AA

Each Update + AA brings together the two things Collect The Alphabet players tend to wait for:

  • A content update to the core game, folding in the latest additions and changes the developer has been working on.
  • Fresh alphabet material to hunt down, extending the collecting loop that sits at the heart of the game.
  • A reason to log back in and see what has shifted since the previous drop.

Because the update and the new content arrive together, the opening hours are usually the busiest, when most players are working through whatever has just been added.

Tips for catching it

Noon ET is comfortable for most of the Americas and lands in the late afternoon or early evening across Europe, so players there can jump in without planning around it. In India, Japan, and Australia it falls late at night or in the small hours of Sunday, so a reminder set for your own clock is worth it if you want to be there right as the update goes live. Either way there is no need to rush — if you miss a run, Update + AA comes back on its roughly four-week cycle, and the content stays in the game afterward.
