Clean The Bugs Events Schedule: Chapter 4 Countdown and What’s Next
Clean The Bugs is a bug-squashing experience from Retro Library, where you gear up as an exterminator and clear an infestation across a growing lineup of maps. This page keeps a running schedule of the game’s in-game events — the new-map launches and content drops the developer puts on the calendar — with a short rundown of what each one adds and when it runs. At the moment the game is pulling around about 9,300 players at once.
The headline item right now is Chapter 4, which Retro Library bills as the biggest map in the game so far. It opens Saturday, November 21, while the live Chapter 3 new-map launch runs in the meantime. Clean The Bugs has pulled in about 2,100,000 total visits and about 10,000 favorites to date, and new maps have been landing at a quick pace through November.

Current and upcoming events
Chapter 3: the live new map
Chapter 3 is the game’s current new-map launch. It went live on the morning of Friday, November 13 (9:30 AM ET) and is scheduled to close late on Sunday, November 15, wrapping just before midnight Eastern. It has been within its first day with about a day left to go. Interest is sitting at about 1,100 players marked as going — a solid turnout for a Friday launch.
Chapter 4: the biggest map yet
Chapter 4 is the next drop and the marquee event on the schedule, described by the developer as the game’s biggest map yet. It is set to open on Saturday, November 21 at 11:00 AM ET (10:00 AM CT, 8:00 AM PT, 4:00 PM UTC) and run until midnight Eastern as November 22 turns into Monday, November 23. With about 2,300 players already signed up, it is drawing the most interest of any event on the calendar.
Recently wrapped updates
Two events wrapped in the run-up to Chapter 3. The Pets Update ran from Tuesday, November 10 (2:00 PM ET) to Wednesday, November 11, adding unlockable pets earned from gems you collect while cleaning. Before it, the Map 2 launch ran from Wednesday, November 4 to late Friday, November 6, continuing the game’s story with a second map. Lined up against the chapter launches, those drops show Retro Library leaning on frequent new maps — a cadence of a new map roughly every eight to nine days so far this month.
