Current and upcoming events
Update 10.5: live now and the biggest draw
Update 10.5 opened Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC, 9:15 PM BST) and is scheduled to close Monday, August 24, 2026 at the same hour. The developer frames it as a systems, bug-fix and quality-of-life update rather than a new-map release — the lighter half of the one-two release pattern the game has fallen into.
Even so, it has drawn the most interest of anything on the schedule, with about 61,000 players marking plans to join — running ahead of the newer Update 11 that launched beside it.
Update 11: live now, the newest map drop
Update 11 went live Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC, 9:15 PM BST) and runs through Friday, August 28, 2026 at the same hour. This is the new-map entry of the current pair, carrying the developer’s usual systems-plus-new-map-and-quality-of-life billing.
It arrived with strong momentum of its own, with about 49,000 players signed on — close behind Update 10.5’s headline turnout.
Update 11.5: next up, opens August 25
Update 11.5 is the next confirmed release, set to open Tuesday, August 25, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC, 9:15 PM BST) and run through Monday, August 31 at the same hour. It is another bug-fix and quality-of-life drop, keeping the every-Tuesday rhythm the mini-updates have followed all month.
Interest is already high well before launch, with about 54,000 players marking plans to jump in.
Update 12 and beyond
The schedule runs further out than that. Update 12, a new-map release, is set for Saturday, August 29, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET through September 4, with the bug-fix follow-up Update 12.5 landing Tuesday, September 1 through September 7. Both are already gathering steam this far ahead: Update 12 has about 27,000 interested players and Update 12.5 about 27,000, in line with how earlier drops looked before their own launches came into view.
Recently ended
Update 10: closed August 21
Update 10 was the new-map release of the previous cycle, live from Saturday, August 15, 2026 at 4:45 PM ET until Friday, August 21 at 4:15 PM ET. It pulled a heavy crowd, with nearly 50,000 players marking interest before it wrapped.
Update 9.5 and Update 9
Update 9.5, the bug-fix half of its cycle, ran Tuesday, August 11 through Monday, August 17 and drew over 37,000 interested players — comfortably ahead of the full Update 9 it followed. Update 9 itself, the new-map entry, ran Saturday, August 8 through Friday, August 14 and gathered about 14,000, a more modest showing than the mini-update that trailed it.
Update 8.5
Earlier in the month, Update 8.5 (August 4–10) was one of the biggest draws of the stretch, with more than 39,000 players marking interest. It followed the same new-map-then-bug-fix structure the game has repeated week after week since.
