Ragdoll Research: Major Update 3 Countdown and What’s Next
Ragdoll Research is pushing out major updates in quick succession. Major Update 3, billed as “Personalities & more,” goes live Saturday, November 7 at 1:00 PM ET (10:00 AM PT, 6:00 PM GMT) and runs through Monday, November 9 at 6:00 PM ET. It arrives the moment Major Update 2.5 wraps, so the Ragdoll Shenanigans team is giving players almost no gap between drops.
The experience is one of Roblox’s busier physics sandboxes. It has roughly about 30,000 players in game right now, more than about 2,100,000 total visits, and around about 73,000 favorites — the kind of numbers that put it among the more popular sandbox titles on the platform.
This page lays out what Ragdoll Research has on its event calendar — what each update adds, when it opens and closes, and how much interest it is drawing. Exact start and end times for every event are in the schedule below. Last updated November 6.

Current and upcoming events
Major Update 3: Personalities & more
Major Update 3 is the headline event, and the interest numbers show it: around about 35,000 players have marked themselves as going, dwarfing the turnout for anything else on the calendar. It opens Saturday, November 7 at 1:00 PM ET and stays live until Monday, November 9 at 6:00 PM ET.
The update leans into giving ragdolls more character. The developer’s notes point to accessories that pop off with physics rather than staying glued on, a wider set of reactions and behaviours toward you and between ragdolls, the ability to give ragdolls names, and a new Sukuna power set, with more left unlisted. In short, it is the “personalities” pass the subtitle promises.
Major Update 2.5: Maps & more
Major Update 2.5 is live now and closes today, Saturday, November 7 at 1:00 PM ET — about less than a day left left as the next update takes over. Interest here is far smaller than Major Update 3, at roughly about 580 players going.
This one is a map and interface pass. According to the developer’s notes it reworks the Office Tower and the Backrooms, overhauls the UI, adds gun aiming, and brings in new weapons and a new power. With 2.5 opening Thursday, November 5 and Major Update 3 opening two days later, the team is clearly moving through a dense release stretch rather than spacing drops out over weeks.
