Update 2 headline features (still current)
New chores
Additional chore board tasks expand routing through the house — community now tracks nine reported chores with four shown on the UI at a time until refresh:
- Read the full chores list for every task name and room route.
- Re-read chore board walkthrough for timed loops.
- Adjust complete chores USD 180 targets — allowance benchmarks sit around USD 160–USD 180 post-Update 2.
Xbox and PlayStation support
Console players access the experience through Roblox on Xbox and PlayStation:
- Read mobile and console controls — refreshed for August 2026 input notes.
- Practice laptop CCTV cycling in lobby — gamepad UI differs from PC mouse.
- Night vision toggles remain mandatory for camera tells.
August 4, 2026 Roblox update — what we know
The Roblox game entry updated August 4, 2026. Community reports so far describe stability and metadata changes rather than a full Update 3 feature drop. We do not invent patch notes. Watch for verified reports of:
- Chore payout tweaks on the items catalog economy loop.
- New visitor archetypes or adjusted knock timing — cross-check all anomalies.
- Shop price changes on Bone, Horse Statue, Camera, and other merchant SKUs.
Until developers publish Update 3, treat Update 2 mechanics as authoritative.
What remains unchanged (August 2026)
- No active promo codes — honest status on active codes.
- Core tell rules: Vampire always anomaly, Goblin Stalker harmless, Next Door Neighbour social penalty on wrongful reject.
- Sanity starts at 100; porch light OFF rejects anomalies.
Upcoming community watch — no invented patch notes
Players and creators speculate about future content: new visitors, holiday events, or shop SKUs. This wiki lists only verified mechanics. Community watch items for August–September 2026 include:
- Datamined or leaked character names without in-game proof — do not treat as fact until repeatable knocks appear on live servers.
- “Update 3” YouTube titles with fake code strings — ignore until active codes confirms redemption.
- Shop catalog price drift — compare lobby shop priority against live merchant UI weekly.
We expand this page the same week official changelogs or multi-tester evidence lands.
