Updates in Steal An Egg: What Each Big Patch Added
TL;DR, bestie
- Steal An Egg ships numbered Updates that add biomes, events, pets, eggs and systems.
- Update 5 launched the Dr. Scramble drone invasions and Samples grind.
- Update 6 seized Dr. Scramble's Laboratory, reworked trade-ins, added the Extinction Egg and a 100-tier boss milestone.
- Always skim the in-game news panel before a long grind so you don't farm a system that just got replaced.
Steal An Egg moves fast. One week you're rifling eggs in the Forest, the next week a mad scientist owns the map and pity rules changed under your feet. This page is how I read the update train without getting whiplash.

How it works
Each major Update drops a news card in-game with a short pitch plus bullet changes. Smaller hotfixes slip in between. Systems can be replaced, not just stacked — Update 6 literally swapped the Rift Trade-In Machine for Dr. Scramble's Laboratory and changed pity so hitting pity guarantees the top reward instead of a random top-three.
Update 5's loop: every 30 minutes Dr. Scramble's drones invade, you smash them for Samples, spend Samples on his experiments. Update 6 keeps the 30-minute boss cadence but moves the endgame into the Laboratory, Extinction Egg hatches (with rare skeletal rerolls), and a 100-tier boss milestone that unlocks a heavy Eternal at the top.
Step by step
- Open the Updates panel when you join after a patch Tuesday (or whenever the badge pops).
- Read whether any machines, currencies or pity rules changed — those break old guides first.
- Note new eggs / biomes / banners you actually care about.
- Adjust your grind: if trade-in now wants raw eggs, stop hatching just to feed the machine.
- Cross-check Events and biome pages after big map adds like Titan Temple.
Tips
- Screenshot the news card. Devs edit live text and YouTubers lag.
- Pity buffs matter more than flashy pet renders. Read that line twice.
- New paid eggs (Extinction Egg) often carry the seasonal chase pets — budget Robux on purpose or skip.
- After a Laboratory-style rework, old Rift tokens or machines may be deprecated. Don't hoard dead currency.
Common mistakes
- Grinding a removed trade-in path for an hour because you skipped the panel.
- Assuming every Update is "just new pets." Systems change.
- Buying the new egg before checking drop tables / reroll rules.
- Ignoring how Steal An Egg works fundamentals that still gate far biomes.
Kiko's take: I treat the Updates panel like patch notes in an MMO: skim currencies and systems first, flex pets second. Update 6's pity change alone is bigger than most banner art.

How I verify a patch myself
- Read the in-game card.
- Open one low-stakes private server and click every new button once.
- Check whether old currencies still open the new machines.
- Only then spend Robux or dump a stockpile.
Content creators clip the flashy boss first. The pity line and trade-in rewrite are usually buried under a subtitle. That's the line that costs you an evening if you miss it. For biome-specific drops after a map add, pair this page with Drop Rates once that entry is live.
FAQ
Where do I see Steal An Egg updates? In the game's Updates / news UI. I log the big ones on this page too.
Did Update 6 remove Rift trade-ins? The Rift Trade-In Machine was replaced by Dr. Scramble's Laboratory with a reworked trade-in that can take eggs directly.
Is the Extinction Egg a limited paid egg? It's the Update 6 paid egg with extinct animals and a rare skeletal reroll chance. Check the live shop for current availability.
