Build a Base and Steal: Admin Abuse Event Countdown and What’s Next
Build a Base and Steal’s next scheduled event, billed as Admin Abuse, is set for August 29 and promises new pets, gear, and more. It follows two drops earlier in the month — Update 4.0 on August 22 and a combined update and admin abuse session on August 15 — that landed exactly a week apart, putting the game on a steady weekly release rhythm. Registered interest in the August 29 event is at about 130,000 and climbing as the date nears.
The base-builder remains one of Roblox’s busier experiences. It’s holding roughly about 610 players in-game right now, has been visited more than about 94,000,000 times, and carries close to about 390,000 favorites. Built by replayable fun games, it centers on rolling for rare pets, building a base to defend them, and breaking into rival bases with gear to steal their pets while keeping your own protected.
The schedule below covers what’s coming up and what just wrapped. Last updated September 14; we update this page as the studio’s schedule changes.
