Mine a Planet Update Schedule: Overclocked Countdown & What’s Next
This page is your running schedule for the in-game update events in Mine a Planet, the beta Roblox experience that has been shipping numbered beta drops about a week apart.

As of this writing, Beta 8 — the update the developer named for Mine a Planet crossing 10,000 concurrent players — is live and runs through 12:55 PM ET on Saturday, July 25, 2026. But the drop pulling the most attention is still days away: Beta Update 9, tagged Overclocked, has now drawn nearly 60,000 players onto its going list, roughly ten times the interest in the update running right now. It opens the afternoon Beta 8 closes.

Current and upcoming events
10K CCU update (Beta 8) — live now
Beta 8, which the developer named for Mine a Planet reaching 10,000 concurrent players, went live Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET (10:00 AM PT / 6:00 PM BST) and is scheduled to run through 12:55 PM ET on Saturday, July 25. Over 5,800 players are marked as going. The developer has kept the specifics light, so treat the 10K milestone as what the update celebrates rather than a detailed feature list. The exact window is in the schedule above.
Beta Update 9 (Overclocked) — starts July 25
Next up is Beta Update 9, tagged Overclocked, set to open right as Beta 8 wraps: it starts Saturday, July 25, 2026, at 12:55 PM ET (9:55 AM PT / 5:55 PM BST) and runs through 1:00 PM ET on Friday, July 31. It’s far and away the standout on the calendar by interest — nearly 60,000 players have marked themselves as going for a drop that’s still days out, dwarfing the turnout for the update live right now. The developer hasn’t spelled out what Overclocked adds beyond the name.
Beta Update 7 — recently wrapped
Beta Update 7, the developer’s drone-themed drop, ran from Sunday, July 12, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET through 12:55 PM ET on Saturday, July 18, drawing close to 2,000 interested players across its week-long run. It handed off directly to Beta 8, so anyone logging in over the weekend of July 18 moved straight from one update into the next.
Lined up together, the three windows show a clear weekly rhythm: Beta Update 7 ran July 12–18, Beta 8 runs July 18–25, and Beta Update 9 runs July 25–31, with each drop opening as the previous one closes. If that cadence holds, the update after Overclocked would land in early August. Exact start and end times for every event are in the schedule above.
