Build a Base and Steal: Update 4.0 Countdown and What’s Next
Build a Base and Steal’s next content drop, labeled Update 4.0, is set for August 22, with the studio flagging it as a batch of new blocks, gear, and other additions. It lands a week after a pair of enormous events: the August 8 update pulled in more than 680,000 registrations — the single biggest turnout the game has posted — and the August 15 follow-up drew over 300,000 more. Registered interest in Update 4.0 sits at about 94,000 and is still climbing.
The base-builder remains one of Roblox’s busier experiences. It’s holding roughly about 8,500 players in-game right now, has been visited more than about 85,000,000 times, and carries close to about 370,000 favorites. Built by the studio replayable fun games, it centers on rolling for rare pets, building a base to defend them, and raiding rival players to steal their pets while keeping your own locked down.
The schedule below shows what’s next and what just wrapped. Last updated August 22; we update this page as the studio’s schedule changes.

Current and upcoming events
Update 4.0 (August 22)
The next event on the calendar is Update 4.0, set for August 22 and running a short window from 1:30 to 2:00 PM ET (10:30 to 11:00 AM PT; 6:30 to 7:00 PM BST). Unlike the recent placeholder-style drops, the studio has given this one a theme up front — it’s billed as adding new blocks, gear, and more. It arrives one week after the August 15 event, keeping to the weekly rhythm the game has settled into. Registered interest is at about 94,000 so far and rising as the date approaches.
Next update and admin abuse event (recently ended)
The most recent event, an update paired with an admin abuse session, ran August 15 from 4:30 to 5:30 PM ET (1:30 to 2:30 PM PT; 9:30 to 10:30 PM BST). It drew over 300,000 registrations — a strong turnout, though it came in at well under half the crowd the August 8 event had pulled the week before.
Traits update and admin abuse event (recently ended)
The August 8 event, a traits update run alongside an admin abuse session, was the game’s headline moment of the past two weeks. It ran from 4:30 to 5:30 PM ET (1:30 to 2:30 PM PT; 9:30 to 10:30 PM BST) and pulled in more than 680,000 registrations — comfortably the largest turnout on the game’s schedule to date, more than double the August 15 follow-up. With the August 8 and 15 events landing exactly a week apart and Update 4.0 set for August 22, the drops have settled into a steady weekly cadence.
