Updated July 31, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 31K playing now

Anime Astral Simulator’s Update 7.5 went live Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET, taking over as the biggest draw in the current lineup. Update 7.0, which opened July 25, is still running alongside it through July 31. Update 6.2, the mini update that had been live since July 21, closed that same Tuesday afternoon, handing off directly to Update 7.5’s launch.

Update 7.5 is already pulling in far more interest than anything else on the calendar right now, well ahead of Update 7.0’s total. The developer has also set the next release: Update 8 is scheduled to open Saturday, August 1, 2026, keeping up the same rapid cadence the game has held since Update 6.

The fighter-training experience continues pulling a large crowd, with over about 31,000 people in game as of this writing. It is closing in on about 5,000,000 total visits and holds more than about 14,000 favorites. Below are the game’s current and upcoming events with exact start and end times, followed by short answers to the questions players ask most. Last updated July 31 — we update this page as the schedule changes.

Current and upcoming events

Update 7.5: live now, the biggest draw of the moment

Update 7.5 opened Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC, 9:15 PM BST) and is scheduled to run through Monday, August 3, 2026 at the same hour. The developer is billing it with the same systems-plus-new-map-and-quality-of-life framing used for Updates 6 and 7.0, continuing this run of major content drops.

Interest in Update 7.5 is running well ahead of Update 7.0’s, making it the strongest opening of this stretch of releases: about 39,000 players have marked plans to join. It opened the same day Update 6.2 closed, a direct handoff rather than the multi-day overlaps seen between earlier releases.

Update 7.0: still running through July 31

Update 7.0 remains live, having opened Saturday, July 25, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET and running through Friday, July 31, 2026 at the same hour. It was billed the same way as Update 6 — new systems, a new map, and quality-of-life changes.

It’s still drawing solid interest, with about 19,000 players signed on, though Update 7.5’s launch has since pulled ahead of it as the bigger draw this week.

Update 8: the next confirmed release, opens August 1

Update 8 is now on the calendar, set to open Saturday, August 1, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET (1:15 PM PT / 8:15 PM UTC, 9:15 PM BST) and run through Friday, August 7, 2026 at the same hour. The developer is using the same systems-new-map-and-QOL framing again.

Interest is about 13,000 this early, ahead of its August 1 opening, which is in line with how the last few updates looked at the same point before launch.

Recently ended

Update 6.2: closed July 28

Update 6.2 wrapped up as a mini update rather than a full content release. It had been live since Tuesday, July 21, 2026 and closed Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET, handing off directly to Update 7.5 later that same afternoon.

Interest landed just over 2,100 players, in line with what a patch-sized follow-up typically draws rather than a full release.

Update 6.1: closed July 24

Update 6.1 was the headline event of the past two weeks and the biggest draw the game has had this month. The developer framed it as a content drop built around new systems, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements, arriving just three days after Update 6. It went live Saturday, July 18, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET and closed Friday, July 24, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET.

Interest ran far ahead of everything around it: close to 50,000 players marked plans to jump in, well above any single update since.

Update 6: closed July 22

Update 6 opened the current run. Billed as a major content drop, it added 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 ran a full week, closing Wednesday, July 22, 2026 at 4:15 PM ET.

About 3,700 players marked themselves interested before it ended — a fraction of the crowd Update 6.1 later drew, but a solid showing for a single update.
