Mine a Planet First Aa: Start Time & Countdown
Mine a Planet’s next scheduled test, First Aa, is set to open July 25, 2026 — the ninth entry in the game’s rolling beta series and the direct follow-up to the 10K CCU update currently running. The developer’s listing tags it as a new-feature test and subtitles it “Overclocked!”, though full patch notes haven’t been published yet.

The event picks up the moment the current Beta 8 test ends, so there’s no gap in the game’s testing cycle. More than 130,000 players have already marked interest in First Aa.
What’s in it
The developer hasn’t published patch notes for First Aa beyond its subtitle and category. It’s filed under the game’s new-feature testing track, and the subtitle points toward a performance or technical change rather than new content like maps or cosmetics — though that’s a read on the listing, not a confirmed detail. As with earlier rounds in this beta series, the specifics tend to surface once testers get in and start reporting back.
When it runs
First Aa is scheduled to run six days: July 25, 2026 at 12:55 PM ET through July 31, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET. In other zones, that’s roughly 9:55 AM to 10:00 AM Pacific, 5:55 PM to 6:00 PM in the UK, and around 2:55 AM to 3:00 AM in Sydney the following morning. Because it starts the instant the prior beta test ends, there’s no waiting window between rounds — testers active in Beta 8 can move straight into Beta 9 without a break, so there’s no reason to hold off checking it out early in the week.
How it fits Mine a Planet’s update rhythm
First Aa is the third event in a back-to-back weekly cadence: Beta Update 7 ran July 12–18, the 10K CCU update followed immediately from July 18–25, and First Aa now continues the chain through July 31. Each test has opened the moment the last one closed, which points to a fixed weekly release schedule rather than sporadic updates. If that pattern holds, a Beta 10 test would open around July 31.
