Make a Cartoon New Update: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown

Updated November 4, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 6,200 playing now

Make a Cartoon is a Roblox creation game where players build and share their own animated shorts, and it keeps a busy lobby running — around about 6,200 players are in it right now. What keeps regulars checking back is the update schedule: the developer ships a fresh update to the game on a steady rhythm rather than in occasional surprise drops.

A new update lands on a regular cadence, and it always arrives in one of a handful of set time slots during the week. That predictability is the point — you can plan around it, and if you miss one, the next is only a few days away. The next update time and the usual windows are on the card below.

How often new updates land

New updates arrive about every ~4 days, which in practice works out to roughly twice a week. So far the developer has pushed 3 updates on this schedule, and the next one is expected around Wednesday, November 4 at 5 PM ET.

Updates drop in a few fixed weekly slots, all given here in US Eastern time:

DayTime (ET)
Wednesday5:00 PM ET
Saturday5:00 PM ET
Saturday6:00 PM ET

These slots are spread through the week on purpose, so players in different parts of the world all get a convenient shot at jumping in when an update goes live rather than everything landing at a single hour that only suits one region. Taking the Wednesday and Saturday 5:00 PM ET window as the example, that same moment falls at:

  • 2:00 PM on the US West Coast
  • 10:00 PM in the UK
  • 11:00 PM across most of mainland Europe
  • 3:30 AM the next day in India
  • 7:00 AM the next day in Japan
  • 9:00 AM the next day on Australia’s east coast

Tips for catching a new update

  • Pick the window that falls at a sensible hour where you are — for most of the Americas the 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM ET Saturday slots are the easy ones.
  • Set a reminder a few minutes ahead so you are in the game as the update goes live and can be among the first to try the new content.
  • If you miss a drop, don’t worry — another update is only a few days out, so you are never waiting long for the next one.

How it fits the game’s rhythm

In Make a Cartoon, the update schedule is the main recurring beat of the game. Rather than building its calendar around separate themed events, the developer leans on this frequent update drumbeat to keep the experience moving, so the Wednesday and Saturday windows are the dates worth circling each week.
