Driving Empire Porsche Update: Start Time, Countdown, and What’s Next
Driving Empire’s next big drop is a Porsche update, and it’s shaping up to be the game’s most-anticipated addition in weeks. Voldex is bringing four new Porsche cars to the experience in an update that begins July 31, 2026 at 1:30 PM ET (10:30 AM PT, 6:30 PM BST) and runs through August 7. It has already drawn more interest than any recent update, with more than about 87,000 players marking themselves as going. It takes over directly from the Lamborghini refresh, which wrapped earlier the same day.
Driving Empire is one of Roblox’s biggest driving experiences. The Voldex-built open-world racing and roleplay game has passed about 3,000,000,000 visits and more than about 32,000,000 favorites, and it regularly holds well over about 24,000 players in-game at once. With 300-plus cars and boats and licensed brands like Lamborghini, McLaren and Porsche, its steady stream of weekly updates is a big part of why players keep coming back.
Below are the game’s current and upcoming in-game events with their exact dates and times, followed by answers to the questions players ask most. Last updated July 31, 2026.

Current and upcoming events
The Porsche update
The Porsche update is the headline item on the calendar now. Voldex is adding four new Porsche cars, and while the developer hasn’t spelled out which models are included, it arrives as the game’s most-anticipated recent update: more than about 87,000 players have marked themselves as going, ahead of every update from the past month. It begins July 31, 2026 at 1:30 PM ET (10:30 AM PT, 6:30 PM BST) and is scheduled to run through August 7 at 1:00 PM ET. It picks up right where the Lamborghini refresh left off, continuing the game’s pattern of one update handing straight into the next. Exact start and end times are in the schedule above.
The Lamborghini refresh, now wrapped
The Lamborghini refresh ran from July 24 to July 31, 2026 — a pass on the game’s Lamborghini lineup that Voldex teased in advance only as a refresh for a fan-favorite with better visuals and audio. More than 70,000 players marked interest over its week on the calendar. Those visual and audio improvements to the Lamborghini cars remain in the game now that the update’s window has closed.
The Volvo update
The week before, from July 17 to July 24, 2026, brought Volvo’s first appearance in Driving Empire. It was built around the 1997 Volvo S40 BTCC, joined by four more iconic Volvo models for five new cars in total, and drew close to 67,000 interested players. Those cars are still available in the game.
How often Driving Empire updates
Judging by the recent schedule, Voldex is shipping updates on a roughly weekly basis, with each new one taking over the moment the last ends. The Volvo update ran July 17 to July 24, the Lamborghini refresh took over the same day and ran to July 31, and the Porsche update takes over immediately after with a window through August 7. Each of those handoffs has landed on a Friday, in the early afternoon Eastern time. If that rhythm holds, the next update would be expected around August 7, 2026, when the Porsche update’s window closes, though Voldex hasn’t announced what comes after it.
Frequently asked questions
When does the Porsche update in Driving Empire start?
The Porsche update begins July 31, 2026 at 1:30 PM ET (10:30 AM PT, 6:30 PM BST) and is scheduled to run through August 7 at 1:00 PM ET. Voldex is adding four new Porsche cars, though it hasn’t confirmed exactly which models.
When is the next Driving Empire update after Porsche?
Voldex hasn’t announced what follows the Porsche update. Going by the game’s roughly weekly cadence — and the fact that recent updates have taken over the moment the previous one’s window closed — another handoff would be a reasonable bet for around August 7, 2026, when the current update is due to wrap, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
What time do Driving Empire updates go live?
Recent updates have gone live in the early afternoon, Eastern time — the Porsche update is timed for 1:30 PM ET (10:30 AM PT, 6:30 PM BST), and the Lamborghini and Volvo updates before it landed around 1:00 PM ET. The exact start and end time for each event is listed in the schedule above.
