The next Adopt Me update is the Lightning Dimension. It arrives on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 16:00 UTC: 8:00 AM PST, 11:00 AM EST and 4:00 PM in the UK. That time comes from the countdown on Uplift Games’ official Next Update page. The “ADOPT ME NEW UPDATE!” event listing on Roblox starts five minutes later, at 16:05 UTC. Next comes the weekly Admin Abuse on Saturday, November 7, from 17:00 to 17:30 UTC. All times were checked November 4 at 09:30 UTC.
This page covers the Adopt Me update itself: the start time in every region, what Uplift has officially shown of the Lightning Dimension, the Halloween Wagon’s closing time and what to do first. Looking for codes and free Bucks instead? Our Adopt Me codes and free pets page has them. We update this page every Friday with the next update.

Adopt Me update time in every region
We converted the official UTC times with the standard time zone database. US and UK clocks went back on November 1, so these are winter (standard) times. The update column uses the countdown time. The Roblox listing comes five minutes later in every region.

Why is it an hour later than in October? Adopt Me updates follow US Pacific time, at about 8:00 AM. The October Friday listings started at 15:05 UTC, which was 8:05 AM on daylight time. Since US clocks went back, the same 8:05 AM is 16:05 UTC. In the US, the UK and Europe the update keeps its usual local time, because those clocks moved too. India, Southeast Asia and Australia did not change, so there the update now arrives one hour later than it did in October.
Servers do not always switch over at the exact minute. If nothing has changed a few minutes after the start time, leave the game and join a new server.
What is the Adopt Me Lightning Dimension?
Uplift has shown very little so far, and we only report what comes from its own channels:
- The official countdown names the update “Lightning Dimension”. Its release is set for November 6 at 16:00 UTC, and the countdown campaign stays up until November 9.
- Adopt Me’s official YouTube channel posted a Weekly News video on November 2 titled “Explore The LIGHTNING DIMENSION”. The thumbnail shows a blacked-out mystery pet crackling with lightning and a dark staff-like item with a glowing blue gem.
- The weekly Roblox listing says only “Adopt Me’s latest update!” There are no patch notes yet. Uplift usually posts its notes on playadopt.me/news at release. The last Halloween notes went up on October 30 at 15:00 UTC, the same hour as that week’s update.
Some creator videos already list “new Lightning Dimension pets” with odds. Uplift hasn’t published any of those names or numbers, so we don’t repeat them here. We will add the official pet list, prices and drop chances once the November 6 notes are live.
How earlier Adopt Me dimensions worked
Adopt Me has run dimension events before: the Fire Dimension in 2023 and the Ice Dimension in 2025. Uplift’s own notes for those two show the format. That history suggests what to expect, but it is not a promise about this update:
| Dimension | Start | Length | How it worked (official notes) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Dimension | Sep 9, 2023 | To Sep 14, 2023 | A portal in the fallen Sky Castle. Players collected fruit ingredients to cook Campfire Cookies, the first Bait, and placed it to lure Ash Zebra rewards. The Ash Zebra and Flaming Zebra Baits were event-exclusive. |
| Ice Dimension | Mar 21, 2025 | Two weeks | Players earned Ice Shards in the Slippery Slope minigame and traded 200 Ice Shards with Tim for the Shiver Cone or Subzero Popsicle Bait. Each Bait could lure its own pet at 9.99%. The free Ice Soup Bait went in the home Lure and paid out every four hours, with a 0.01% chance at the Legendary Frostbite Bear. |
| Lightning Dimension | Nov 6, 2026 | Not announced | Not announced. Notes are due at release. |

Both earlier dimensions combined a portal, a minigame or gathering loop, an event currency and Baits for the Lure. If you haven’t placed a Lure in your home, it costs nothing to check before Friday. We’ll confirm whether the Lightning Dimension uses Baits as soon as the notes are out.
What to do before the update
- Spend your Candy Corn at the Halloween Wagon before Friday 15:45 UTC. Uplift’s final Halloween notes say the Wagon is your last chance to get the event’s pets, vehicles, pet wear and toys, and they tell you to spend your Candy Corn before it’s gone. Our Halloween Wagon guide covers what’s inside. The Pro Ghost Blaster and the Mummy Spider are not sold there.
- Check your Halloween pets. Our guides to Halloween Week 3 pets and prices and Week 4’s Stray Cat Dragon list which pets came from which week. The Wagon is the last place to buy any you missed. Count Slothula moved into the Pet Shop when the Wagon arrived, according to the same notes.
- Save some Bucks. New dimension items have so far been earned in the event, not bought outright, but the Ice Dimension also sold a 400 Bucks sticker pack. Free Bucks routes are on our Adopt Me codes page.
- Join a fresh server after the start time and read the update notes on playadopt.me before you trade. New event pets often trade at inflated values on day one.
The weekly Admin Abuse is now at 17:00 UTC (9 AM PST) on Saturdays, an hour later in UTC than in October. Image: Uplift Games / Roblox
Adopt Me Admin Abuse on November 7: time and what to expect
The official “ADOPT ME ADMIN ABUSE!” listing (“Freebies & Chaos!”) runs Saturday, November 7, from 17:00 to 17:30 UTC. That’s 12:00 PM EST, 9:00 AM PST, 5:00 PM in the UK and 10:30 PM in India. It is the first Admin Abuse of the Lightning Dimension week. The listing describes it as “Adopt Me’s huge weekly party with your favorite Admins!” Uplift never lists the freebies in advance.
The weekly party moved by an hour when US clocks changed. The October 24 and Halloween Admin Abuse listings started at 16:00 UTC. From November it is 17:00 UTC, which keeps it at 9:00 AM Pacific. It lasts 30 minutes, so be in a server a few minutes early.
Adopt Me update schedule: recent and next
Uplift posts a listing in Roblox’s events system for every weekly update. Recent ones, from the official event data:
| Listing | Start (UTC) | End (UTC) |
|---|---|---|
| ADOPT ME NEW UPDATE! | Fri Oct 16, 15:05 | Fri Oct 23, 14:45 |
| ADOPT ME NEW UPDATE! | Fri Oct 23, 15:05 | Fri Oct 30, 15:45 |
| ADOPT ME BONUS WEEKEND! (final 1.2x Candy Corn weekend) | Fri Oct 30, 15:10 | Fri Nov 6, 15:45 |
| HALLOWEEN WAGON! | Mon Nov 2, 16:05 | Fri Nov 6, 15:45 |
| ADOPT ME NEW UPDATE! (Lightning Dimension) | Fri Nov 6, 16:05 | Fri Nov 13, 15:45 |
| ADOPT ME ADMIN ABUSE! | Sat Nov 7, 17:00 | Sat Nov 7, 17:30 |
The pattern suggests the next weekly update on Friday, November 13, at about 16:05 UTC, since this week’s listing ends just before then. That date is our reading of the schedule. Uplift hasn’t announced it. For every other Roblox game’s events this week, see our Roblox events this week roundup.
