Anime Astral Simulator: Update 6.1 Countdown and What’s Next
Anime Astral Simulator has two content updates running at once. Update 6 has been live since mid-week and stays open through Wednesday, July 22, 2026, and the developer has now launched Update 6.1 on top of it — live since Saturday, July 18, 2026 and running through July 24. Update 6.1 is the one players are turning out for: nearly 50,000 have marked themselves interested, far more than the update it launched alongside.
The fighter-training experience from StarX Inc remains one of the busier anime games on Roblox, with more than 30,000 people in game as of July 18, 2026. It is closing in on 5 million total visits and holds over 14,000 favorites, numbers that keep it among the platform’s active simulator titles.
Below you’ll find the game’s current in-game events with their exact start and end times, followed by short answers to the questions players ask most. Last updated July 18, 2026 — we update this page as the schedule changes.

Current and upcoming events
Update 6.1: new systems, bug fixes, and QOL
Update 6.1 is the game’s headline event right now. The developer frames it as another content drop centered on new systems, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements, landing just days after Update 6. It went live Saturday, July 18, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC, 9:15 PM BST) and runs through Friday, July 24, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET.
It has pulled far more interest than anything else on the game’s calendar — close to 50,000 players flagged plans to jump in, dwarfing the turnout for Update 6. Because 6.1 opened on July 18 while Update 6 stays live until July 22, the two overlap for several days, so servers should stay busy through the back half of the month.
Update 6: new systems, a new map, and QOL fixes
Update 6 is the update that opened the current run. Billed as a major content drop, it adds new gameplay systems, an extra world to explore, and a round of quality-of-life fixes aimed at smoothing the training and collecting loop. It went live Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET and runs for a full week.
It closes Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET — that’s 1:15 PM PT, 8:15 PM UTC, and 9:15 PM BST for players outside North America. Over 3,700 players marked themselves interested in this one, a fraction of the crowd behind Update 6.1 but a solid turnout for a single update.
