Paint a Pancake Update 3: What’s New & Next Update Countdown
Paint a Pancake keeps a steady beat of fresh content, and the newest drop, Update 3, is the version live in the game right now. Stud Studio Co.’s painting title has grown into one of Roblox’s busier creative hangouts, with a player base in the thousands at any given moment and a lifetime audience over 14 million visits. Each new update is the moment the game adds something to paint, unlock, or show off.
The updates arrive on a weekly rhythm. The developer rolls out a new version every Saturday morning, so the game’s content refreshes on a predictable schedule rather than in scattered, unannounced bursts. The next time and the usual slot are on the card below.

How often updates land
A new update lands weekly, with the drop timed for Saturday at 10:00 AM ET. The next one is set for Saturday, October 24 at 10 AM ET. Because the game draws players from every region, that single weekly release lands at very different local times around the world. Here is how the Saturday 10:00 AM ET slot translates across the major time zones:
| Region | Local time |
|---|---|
| US Eastern | Sat 10:00 AM |
| US Pacific | Sat 7:00 AM |
| UK | Sat 3:00 PM |
| Central Europe | Sat 4:00 PM |
| India | Sat 7:30 PM |
| Japan | Sat 11:00 PM |
| Australia (AEDT) | Sun 1:00 AM |
So far the game has seen 2 of these weekly drops, and the cadence has held firm enough that you can plan around it.
What’s new in Update 3
Update 3 is the current build and the one you load into today. As with each weekly version, the focus stays on the painting loop at the game’s core, giving regular players something new to work toward between sessions. If you have been away for a cycle or two, hopping in now puts you on the latest content without needing to catch up on anything you missed.
When the next Saturday drop arrives, it becomes the live version. Until then, Update 3 is what is in the game.
Tips for catching each update
- Pick the window that suits you from the table above. North American players get a convenient weekend-morning slot; for Europe it is a mid-afternoon drop, and in Japan and Australia it falls late Saturday into early Sunday.
- Set a reminder for Saturday morning Eastern time if you want to be in early, when servers are freshest after a release.
- Miss one? There is no rush. A new update comes the following Saturday, and the current version stays live in between, so nothing is time-locked to a single day.
How updates fit the game’s rhythm
The weekly update is the backbone of Paint a Pancake’s content calendar. Earlier milestones, such as the Update 1 content push, have already run their course, and the numbered weekly drops are now the main way the game grows. With a crowd of over three thousand players in at a time and favorites over 1.1 million, that steady Saturday cadence is what keeps the community coming back each week.
