Mine a Mountain
Mine a Mountain Events Schedule: Next Update Countdown and What’s Next
Mine a Mountain is a climb-and-mine experience on Roblox, with roughly about 14,000 players digging at once, more than about 120,000,000 visits since launch, and over about 260,000 favorites. Built by 10K Steps, the game drops you onto a mountain to mine rare crystals, sell them for cash, and upgrade your warmth, pickaxe, and backpack before the cold near the summit freezes you out — and a fresh mountain generates every hour.
10K Steps has kept to a roughly weekly update rhythm, and its most recent drop — an admin-abuse hour paired with quality-of-life fixes — wrapped on August 22, 2026. Two more are already on the calendar: another admin-abuse hour on August 29, then a larger update the developer has been teasing for September 4, its contents still under wraps. The schedule below lists the exact start and end times, and the sections beneath it cover what’s known about each.
Last updated August 23. We update this page as 10K Steps announces new events.

Current and upcoming events
Admin abuse hour (August 29)
The next event on the calendar is another admin-abuse hour, set for August 29, 2026 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. ET — that’s 7:00 a.m. PT and 3:00 p.m. BST. 10K Steps says the hour will hand out extra pickaxe power, more backpack space, and no fall damage, alongside a full hour of chaotic crystals and weather across the map. Sign-ups already number about 43,000 interested. Exact start and end times are in the schedule above.
Next update (September 4, contents unannounced)
After the admin-abuse hour, 10K Steps has reserved September 4, 2026 for its next full update, running the same 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. ET window — 7:00 a.m. PT, 3:00 p.m. BST. The studio hasn’t detailed what it adds, labeling it only as the next update, but it has teased that something bigger is on the way. Even without announced content, it has drawn the most interest of any upcoming event so far, at about 150,000 sign-ups.
QoL fixes and admin abuse (concluded)
The August 22, 2026 update ran from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. ET — 7:00 a.m. PT, 3:00 p.m. BST — and has since wrapped. 10K Steps ran it as an admin-abuse hour and used it to add TURBO FUEL, which supercharges the jetpack, along with a batch of quality-of-life fixes. It was the biggest turnout of the recent run, with more than half a million players signed up as interested, and the developer flagged it as the lead-in to a bigger update to come.
Lag fix and admin abuse (concluded)
A week earlier, the August 15, 2026 update ran in the same late-morning window and focused on performance, targeting lag and smoothing out gameplay rather than adding new content, with an admin-abuse hour attached. It drew nearly half a million players signed up as interested.
