Steal An Egg on Roblox gets new biomes on a steady basis, and each one sits behind a higher Speed requirement than the last. The game’s Roblox page shows it was last updated on 11/7/2026, and its live event is the NEW ALIEN BIOME, billed in-game as the newest biome. Developer and Collect Rare Pets has not posted a date for the update after that. That makes this a good time to build Speed, pen space, and cash so a new biome doesn’t stall you.

Quick answer: No official date is confirmed for the next Steal An Egg update. The Alien biome is the current addition. Prepare by raising Speed past each biome’s recommended number and keeping open pen and equip slots.


Steal an Egg next update status

The most recent update went live on 11/7/2026 and added the Alien biome event. Any future update has no confirmed release date or time, so treat countdowns and “leaked” dates as unverified. You can check the current state yourself on the Steal An Egg Roblox page. The “Updated” field under the About tab changes when a new version ships, and the Events section lists whatever is live, with a Join Event button.

New content in this game tends to land as a new biome at the far end of the run, which is why preparation matters more than the date itself. The game supports Desktop, Console, Mobile, and Tablet, and servers hold up to 7 players. That means you will always be sharing nests, the safe zone, and your path home with up to six other thieves.


What to have ready before a new biome opens

Every biome is farther down the same lane, and every egg has to come back to your base on foot. These are the things that decide whether a new biome is reachable on day one.

  • A Speed stat well above the biome’s “recommended” sign, built on the treadmill.
  • The best trail you can afford, since trails multiply your Speed.
  • Free space in your pen for new eggs to incubate.
  • A spare equip slot, so a new high-income pet starts earning right away.
  • Cash in reserve for fusing, pen upgrades, and treadmill upgrades.

Biome order and Speed requirements

The main lane runs in a fixed order, and you pass through every earlier biome on the way to the later ones. Signs at the entrance of the deeper biomes show a recommended Speed. Those signs are guidance, not hard locks. You can walk into Prehistoric well under its number, but the return trip with an egg becomes a gamble.

Guardians sleep beside their nests. With around 4.3M to 5.2M Speed, Abyss Ocean runs are comfortable and repeatable, while Prehistoric is reachable but the trip home through Volcano is where carriers tend to trip and lose the egg. A new biome added after Prehistoric will almost certainly sit above 18M, so that is the floor worth building toward.

How to build Speed in Steal an Egg

Treadmill training

The treadmill in your base is the only steady source of base Speed. Step onto the blue spiky machine and keep running; shoe icons pop up with each gain. At the tier shown here, every step adds +350 Speed. Upgrading the treadmill is part of the core loop, and higher tiers pay more per step, so cash from pets should go back into it regularly.

Gains depend on the treadmill tier you’re standing on. Smaller increments, such as +100 per step, show up on lower-tier equipment, which is a clear signal that an upgrade will pay for itself fast.

Free Speed also drops in periodically. A “Free Gift! ~ LIMITED TIME! ~ 10,000 SPEED!” window can appear, and pressing it marks the gift as CLAIMED. Claim it whenever it shows up, because it costs nothing.

Trail Shop multipliers

Trails multiply the Speed you already have, so they scale with every treadmill session. Walk into the yellow circle at the Trails Shop stall to open the list. Equipped trails show “Unequip,” and owned ones show “Equip.”

Red TrailMythicx4 Speed$750M or 49 Robux
Galaxy TrailCosmicx5 Speed$20B or 79 Robux

The jump from Golden Trail to Galaxy Trail takes you from x3.5 to x5, which on a multi-million base adds a lot of effective Speed. If you’re saving for a new biome, the Galaxy Trail at $20B is the single purchase that moves you furthest.

How to steal an egg and bring it home

Every new biome uses the same heist routine, so getting it clean on existing biomes is the real preparation. The run only counts once the egg is in your pen.

Leave the safe zone across the red starting line and run down the green lane toward your target biome. The red boundary lines mark the edge of the safe zone, so you’re exposed the moment you cross them.

Walk up to the nest beside the sleeping guardian until the “E Egg Steal” prompt appears. Press E on keyboard, or tap the prompt on touch devices, to lift the egg.

Confirm the pickup. The game flashes “You stole an EGG!” and the egg occupies a hotbar slot, slot 3 in a standard layout.

Turn around and sprint for base immediately. A “RUN!!” warning appears while you carry, and your running abilities are restricted. A red Drop button lets you release the egg on purpose.
If you trip or get hit, your character ragdolls and the egg falls to the ground. Walk back to it and pick it up again before anyone else does; a dropped egg is fair game.

Carry the egg into your base pen to deposit it. Once it’s down, its incubation timer starts and the egg is banked.

Reaching the base doesn’t make you safe from traps. Stepping on one locks you in place with a “TRAPPED” label counting down from 7s to 1s, which leaves you open while other players move around you.

The Slow Mode toggle on the left of the screen is worth knowing about for tight sections. Eggs come in very different sizes, from small pink eggs to large blue Whale Shark eggs, black and white Orca eggs, and spiky prehistoric eggs, and the game advertises rarer eggs, sizes, and mutations as you go deeper. Other players can also steal eggs from you, so plan your route home rather than just the grab.

How to hatch eggs faster

Deposited eggs grow on a timer. Open the “Growing Eggs” menu to see them, then use “Open” on a finished egg or “Grow All” to process them together. Three things shorten the wait.

  • Night. When the day/night cycle turns dark, cloud speed indicators appear and egg timers drain much faster.
  • The ad boost “2x Egg Growth +5 min,” which doubles growth for five minutes.
  • The X2 GROWTH SPEED! game pass, which makes eggs grow twice as fast.

A boost is active when the game shows “Congratulations! You’ve earned [AD] 2x Egg Growth (5 Min)!” followed by a confetti burst. Stack night with the ad boost and a full pen can hatch in one go. That is how a Cosmic Whale Shark and several Mythics can come out of a single night cycle.

Nightfall speeds up every incubation timer in the pen.

Cash boosts work the same way. “2x Cash Reward” comes from an ad, and “Watch Ad To Collect” prompts pay a lump sum, such as $44.3M or $88.4M. A “CLICK TO CLAIM” board near the treadmill also hands out timed rewards, with a countdown such as 02:00 to the next one.


Pet income, fusing, and selling

Hatched pets earn cash per second while equipped, and floating tags over each one show what it pays. Income also accrues offline; a strong roster displays figures such as “You earn $5.3B/Day offline!” Higher rarities pay far more.

PetRarityIncome shown
Whale SharkCosmic$737K/s

The same species can earn different amounts, which tracks with the size and weight values each pet carries. Use “Equip Best” to fill your active slots with your top earners automatically.

Fuse Machine

Duplicates have a use. The Fuse Machine asks you to “Bring 3 same Pets to Fuse,” and notes that better pets give more luck. It turns three identical pets into a new fused egg for a cash fee.

Open the Fuse Machine at your base. Three empty “+” slots appear, along with a counter showing how many pets are still needed.

Fill all three slots with the same species. The counter drops from “3 Pet Left” to zero and the fee appears; three Swordfish cost $527K.
Pay the fee to fuse. “You fused Swordfish Egg” (or the matching species name) confirms it worked, and the new egg goes into your pen to incubate like any stolen egg.

The base also has a Crystal Egg purchase stand inside a yellow circle, with a 0/3 progress counter beside it.

Selling pets and claiming Index rewards

Walk into the green circle at the SELL stall to open “Sell Pets.” You can sort by Weight or Value, pick individual pets, use “Select All,” or “Sell All.” A confirmation such as “Would you like to sell 4 pets for $1.9M?” appears; choose “Yes!” to take the cash.

Before selling, check the Index button. The Pet Index tracks every species you’ve hatched, out of 126, and “CLAIM ALL” collects any rewards you’ve earned for new entries. Hatching a new species from a fresh biome is usually worth more for the Index than its income alone.


Pen and equip slot upgrade costs

Pen space and equip slots are what let you absorb a burst of new eggs and pets when a biome launches. Base upgrades hold more pets; they don’t make you faster.

UpgradeCash costRobux cost
Pen Level 5 to Level 6$50B—
Pen Level 6 to Level 7$75B119
+1 Equip slot (from 12/12 Active)$50B—

Walk up to the Upgrade Pen sign at your pen to see the next level and its price. The sign shows your current level and the cost, so you know exactly how much cash to bank.

The X2 MONEY! game pass doubles all earnings and cuts the time it takes to afford these upgrades. Until there’s a confirmed date for the next update, a full pen of high-rarity pets, a spare equip slot, and Speed comfortably past 18M put you in the best position to take the first eggs from whatever biome comes after the Alien one.
