Drill to Earth’s Core New Update: Schedule, Times & Next Countdown
Drill to Earth’s Core keeps a steady update rhythm, rolling out a fresh major update roughly every three weeks. Each one goes live on a Saturday morning and tends to reshape the core of the game — new layers to dig through, reworked systems, fresh gear to chase, and whatever boss or seasonal event is next in rotation. It’s one of Roblox’s busier digging games, with about 10,000 miners active right now and about 79,000,000 visits logged to date.
Because the updates arrive on a cadence of every ~21 days, there’s always a next drop on the horizon rather than a one-off event. The next update is expected Saturday, October 31 at 10 AM ET — a best estimate drawn from the schedule the developer has kept across its first 3 releases, which we’ll firm up once the drop is officially announced.

How often updates land
A new update lands about once every three weeks, and it goes live at a single moment for everyone — Saturdays at 10:00 AM ET. Unlike events that run several daily slots, an update flips on once and stays, so there’s just one release time to catch. Because players join from every region, here is that moment across the major world time zones:
- US East: 10:00 AM
- US Pacific: 7:00 AM
- UK: 2:00 PM
- Central Europe: 3:00 PM
- India: 7:30 PM
- Japan: 11:00 PM
- Australia (AEDT): 1:00 AM the next day
These times shift by an hour around daylight-saving changeovers, but the 10:00 AM ET anchor holds. As of October 18 the next date is a projection from the developer’s past cadence, so treat it as provisional until the drop is posted; the next date and start time are on the card above.
What a new update brings
Each update tends to expand the dig in a different direction. Recent drops give a good sense of the range:
- New depth layers that open fresh territory to drill, such as the recent frozen layer
- System reworks that change how progression feels, like the overhaul to passive bonuses
- New characters and bosses to meet as you descend, Lieutenant Larry among them
- Seasonal content timed to the calendar, currently a Halloween event
Not every update carries all of these, but most pair a headline feature with a batch of balance and quality-of-life changes. The specific contents arrive with each release’s patch notes.
Tips for catching the next update
- Pick the window that suits you — the 10:00 AM ET launch is mid-morning in the Americas, afternoon in Europe, and evening across Asia.
- Set a reminder for the Saturday it’s due; the first hours after a drop are usually the busiest and the best time to see new content fresh.
- If you miss it, there’s no rush — the update stays live, and another one follows about three weeks later.
How it fits the game’s rhythm
Updates are the backbone of Drill to Earth’s Core’s schedule, with smaller events filling the gaps between them. The Halloween event is running now, and Soul Prison is lined up next, while past additions like the New Frozen Layer, the Passive Rework, and Lieutenant Larry show the mix of content a single drop can deliver. Taken together, the roughly three-week update beat and these interleaved events keep the game in near-constant motion.
