Driving Empire Schedule: Military Update Countdown and What’s Next

Updated July 10, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 57K playing now

Driving Empire’s Military Update is live now and runs through July 17, 2026, and it is the biggest item on the game’s calendar by a wide margin, with more than 100,000 players marking interest. It leans hard into a combat-and-hardware theme — adding armored vehicles, a helicopter, an aircraft carrier and a new parachute system — and it takes over from an early-July drop that debuted a car brand and handed out a rocket car, keeping Voldex’s roughly weekly update rhythm going.

Driving Empire is one of Roblox’s biggest driving experiences. The Voldex-built open-world racing and roleplay game has drawn over three billion visits and more than 31 million favorites, and it currently holds tens of thousands of players in-game at once. With 300-plus cars and boats and licensed brands like Lamborghini, McLaren and Porsche, its steady update cadence is a big part of why players keep coming back.

Below are the game’s current and upcoming in-game events with their exact dates and times, followed by answers to the questions players ask most. Last updated July 10, 2026.

Current and upcoming events

The Military Update

The headline item is the Military Update, which went live July 10, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET (10:00 AM PT, 6:00 PM BST) and runs through July 17. It is the game’s biggest draw right now, with more than 100,000 players marked as going. Voldex has laid out a full slate for it: two new drivable vehicles, the 2026 Devel 60 Armored Edition and a 1946 Jeep Willys MB, alongside a set of military-themed additions — a transport helicopter, an aircraft carrier and 126 military bodykits for the 2006 Hummer H1. A new parachute system lets players drop into the action mid-air, and the aircraft carrier and helicopter double as places to display your cars. The update also adds a bounty system for capturing vehicles at the military base, plus a batch of 85 car bug fixes. Exact start and end times are in the schedule above.

The early-July drop

The update the Military Update replaced ran from July 2 until it handed off on July 10, and it was one of the summer’s bigger content refreshes: a new rocket car, the debut of a new car brand, and visual refreshes to two existing brand lineups. It drew more than 65,000 interested players over its week-plus run.

How often Driving Empire updates

Judging by the recent schedule, Voldex is shipping updates on a roughly weekly basis: the July 2 drop ran about a week before the Military Update replaced it on July 10, and that one is slated to hold through July 17. Each has gone live in the early afternoon, Eastern time. If the pattern holds, the update after this one would be expected around the following week, though the studio confirms each date as it approaches.
