Steal An Egg Mounts Update: Start Time & Ride Your Pets (2026)
Last updated: 2026-10-10
Mounts is Update 8 in Steal An Egg. The official Roblox event page publishes the window October 10 15:00 UTC to October 11 19:00 UTC with the subtitle “Ride your pets!”. This page gives you the exact local start time, separates what is officially confirmed from what is still unannounced, and covers the prep that pays off either way.
Confirmed: pets become mounts. Everything else is still unannounced.
The official announcement is one line long. This page never guesses past it — the unconfirmed section below lists exactly what has not been published, so you can tell the difference between the event window (known) and the mechanics (unknown).
Mounts start time in your region
Steal An Egg releases updates on Saturdays at 15:00 UTC, and the official Roblox event listing for Mounts uses that same slot: October 10 at 15:00 UTC, running until October 11 at 19:00 UTC. Convert it once and you will not miss the launch rush.

Updates in this game have historically gone live within the hour of the listed time, but the listing is the only authoritative clock. If the update is not visible at the exact minute, reload the game rather than assuming a delay.

What has NOT been announced
This is the part most Mounts guides skip. Everything below is unknown, and any specific answer circulating before launch is speculation:
- • Which pets are rideable — no rarity tier, size class or eligibility rule is named.
- • Whether mounts grant a Speed or movement bonus, and how large it would be.
- • Whether mounts add jump height or let you cross gaps on foot.
- • Whether there is a mount-specific shop item, egg or unlock quest.
- • Whether any part of it costs Robux.
- • Whether mounts are permanent or tied to the event window.
Do not spend cash or Robux on a rumoured mount requirement before the update is live and the in-game shop is visible.
How to prepare for Mounts
Two prep moves help regardless of how the system turns out. First, push Speed: it gates every biome and the Enchanted Forest now sits at the top of that ladder at 50 billion, so treadmill progress is never wasted. Second, widen your pet lineup rather than narrowing to one favourite — if riding is restricted by rarity, the players who already have Divine and Eternal pets hatched will have more choices on day one.
For the Speed side, see the treadmill Speed guide. For the current top-tier roster, the pets guide and the best pets ranking cover what to keep.
Where Mounts sits in the update timeline
Steal An Egg has shipped a numbered update almost every Saturday since the Monsters update in late August. Mounts follows the Enchanted Forest, which was the biggest drop so far and pushed concurrent players to a community-recorded peak of about 9.35 million on launch.
The full version history is on the updates log, and the biome it builds on top of is covered in the Enchanted Forest guide.
Sources: the developer’s official Discord announcement of October 4, 2026 (“Mounts are coming!”, tagged Update 8) and the official Roblox event listing for the October 10 window with the subtitle “Ride your pets!”, cross-checked against GameBoost, Eggipedia and Bloxron timeline pages. No mechanic, restriction, bonus, price or reward on this page is invented — the unconfirmed list is deliberately left open rather than filled with plausible guesses.
Steal An Egg Mounts Update — FAQ
What is the Mounts update in Steal An Egg?+
Mounts is Update 8. The developer announced it on the official Discord on October 4, 2026 and published a Roblox event listing titled “Mounts are coming!” with the subtitle “Ride your pets!”. That is the entirety of the official information: a mount system is confirmed as the headline feature, and no mechanics, pet restrictions, bonuses or prices have been announced. This page tracks the confirmed window and keeps everything else in a clearly labelled unconfirmed section.
When does the Mounts update start?+
The official Roblox event window runs from October 10, 2026 at 15:00 UTC to October 11, 2026 at 19:00 UTC. That is 11:00 PM on October 10 in UTC+8 (Philippines, Singapore, China), 10:00 PM on October 10 in Thailand and Vietnam, 11:00 AM on October 10 on the US East Coast, and 8:00 AM on October 10 on the US West Coast. The full conversion table is on this page.
Which pets can you ride in Steal An Egg Mounts?+
Nobody knows yet, and any list you see right now is a guess. The official listing says “Ride your pets!” without naming a rarity tier, a size class or an exclusion, so the safest reading is that collected pets are eligible — but rarity, size or a flying requirement could still limit the options once patch notes appear. Unlocks that are announced in-game will be logged on the updates page as soon as they are verified.
Do mounts give a Speed bonus?+
Unconfirmed. A movement bonus is the most natural fit — egg runs reward fast travel between nests and your pen, and Speed is already the stat that gates every biome — but the official announcement does not mention a bonus, and no patch notes exist yet. Treat “mounts make you faster” as a reasonable expectation, not a fact, until the update is playable.
Do mounts cost Robux?+
Not announced. The listing mentions no purchase, and no price has been published. Earlier drops did sell premium items through the Robux store — the Extinction Egg at 99 Robux in Update 6 and the Luminous Egg replacing the Monster Egg in Update 4 — so a paid mount option is possible, but there is currently no evidence either way.
How should you prepare for the Mounts update?+
Speed progression is the safe answer, because Speed decides which biomes you can enter and the Enchanted Forest at 50 billion is now the top of that ladder. A broad, high-rarity pet lineup is the second answer: if riding is restricted by rarity, having Divine and Eternal pets already hatched protects you from being locked out on day one. Neither of those is wasted if mounts turn out to be cosmetic.
Is Admin Abuse running during the Mounts event?+
Possibly, but it is not confirmed. Admin Abuse has run before most major Saturday updates, usually around 8:00 AM PT, and the Mounts listing itself does not name it. The only reliable signal is the in-game announcement once the window opens, so keep an eye on the server feed rather than planning around an assumed start time.
