Blox Fruits: Control Update — What It Included
Blox Fruits closed out 2025 with the Control Update, a rework of the Mythical Control Fruit that ran from December 23 through December 31. The overhaul reshaped how the fruit’s moveset and dungeon content played, giving longtime users of one of the game’s rarer fruits a reason to jump back in over the holidays.
Blox Fruits remains one of Roblox’s largest ongoing games, with a playerbase in the hundreds of thousands online at any given moment and tens of billions of lifetime visits. The Control Update landed alongside the game’s separate Free Fruit Event, making the last week of December a particularly active stretch for players chasing both a reworked fruit and holiday rewards.

What was in it
The centerpiece was the long-awaited Control Fruit rework — the developer teased it simply as “tap in,” signaling a full pass on one of the game’s Mythical-tier fruits rather than a minor balance patch. The update focused on Control’s dungeon content, retooling how the fruit interacted with dungeon mechanics and combat rather than introducing an entirely new area. Players who already owned Control got a fruit that played differently than before; players without it had a fresh reason to hunt one down while the update was fresh.
When it ran
The Control Update ran from December 23, 2025 at 11:00 AM ET to December 31, 2025 at 10:53 PM ET, as shown on the schedule above. It was treated as a core content update rather than a limited seasonal event, and it overlapped almost exactly with Blox Fruits’ separate Free Fruit Event, which covered the same holiday week.
How it fit the game’s rhythm
Blox Fruits keeps a fairly steady cadence of themed events between bigger content drops: a Lightning Update in late August, a Celebration Event in late September, a Trick-Or-Treat Event through October into November, then the Control Update and Free Fruit Event bookending the turn of the year, followed by a Valentine’s Event in February and an Easter Event in spring. The Control Update stands out from that list as a mechanics rework rather than a reward event, landing during a high-traffic holiday window rather than as a standalone patch.
