How to get notified when Tap Heroes goes live
The game page on Roblox has a built-in reminder that fires the moment the update publishes, so you do not have to watch the clock yourself.
What the Tap Heroes update adds
Tap Heroes is a progression event. You tap to defeat enemies and push through six historical ages, working across 120 event levels in total. A boss appears every five stages, so the difficulty ramps up in regular bursts as you climb.
A rebirth system sits on top of the run. Each rebirth grants a permanent luck bonus, which makes better rewards more likely the longer you play. Clearing stages also unlocks up to 12 exclusive event pets, and the event introduces a Gargantuan billed as the top tapper.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Event ages | Six historical ages to progress through |
| Event levels | 120 stages total |
| Boss fights | Every five stages |
| Rebirth system | Permanent luck bonuses per rebirth |
| Exclusive pets | Up to 12 event pets |
| Gargantuan | Featured “top tapper” |
The event also points toward clan play. The reveal closes with a call to rally your clan, which suggests group participation carries more weight here than in some earlier updates.
The update schedule and Admin Abuse
BIG Games ships major Pet Simulator 99 patches on Saturdays, and the developer Admin Abuse event usually starts right after an update goes live, at roughly 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET. During Admin Abuse, developers jump into public servers and hand out high-value pets and items while messing with the server, granting temporary buffs and triggering effects like Diamond Rain and Comet Showers. These sessions typically run 30 minutes to an hour.
Note: Admin Abuse does not accompany every update. If a Tap Heroes Admin Abuse session runs, the fastest way to catch it is to be in an active public server the moment the patch drops.
With the release set for 4:00 PM UTC on July 11, the safest move is to have the game open a few minutes early so you land in a fresh server the instant Tap Heroes unlocks and can start banking rebirth luck and event pets from stage one.
