Track every Pet Store Tycoon update: the latest build date, what is known about the October 9 change, and where official news and new codes are posted.
Pet Store Tycoon Update Log and Version History
There is no official patch-notes page. The reliable signals are the Roblox listing's Updated timestamp, October 9, 2026 for the current build, and the developer's Discord, where new codes are announced. The remake, created June 6, 2026, updates often; no public change list exists for the October 9 build.

Where official update information actually comes from
Pet Store Tycoon's developer, already arrived studios, does not publish patch notes. There is no changelog page, no official wiki and no official Trello board that could be verified on October 9, 2026, and no official X or Twitter account was found either. That absence is the first thing to know about this game's updates, because it means the sources that carry update news are the Roblox listing itself and the community channels around it.
Three places, in order of reliability:
- The Roblox game page. The listing carries an Updated timestamp and a description, and both change when the build changes. The current description on October 9, 2026 opens with "Small shop. Big dreams. Lots of adorable pets!" and lays out four verbs: "Feed, clean, and play with your pets", "Stock your shelves and serve customers", "Unlock new animals and expand your store" and "Decorate your shop and make it your own".
- The official Roblox group. The description itself asks players to "Like the game and join the group!", which is the developer's own update mechanism for this game.
- The developer's Discord. New codes are announced here, and the codes are the most visible sign that an update has landed. Media coverage including Destructoid points to this server, and the invite resolves to the guild "Already Arrived Studios".
Official source: Pet Store Tycoon on Roblox - the live listing, whose Updated field reads October 9, 2026 and whose description is the only official statement of what the game currently contains.
What the live listing says
All figures below come from the Roblox public API for universe 10282097014 on October 9, 2026. They move constantly - the visits count alone gained more than 100,000 in the hours around the check - so re-read them before quoting any of them:
| Field | Value on October 9, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Created | June 6, 2026 |
| Last updated | October 9, 2026 |
| Visits | 5,474,600 |
| Favorites | 97,798 |
| Playing now | about 19,900 |
| Max players per server | 8 |
| Votes | 36,687 up / 1,784 down, about 95.4 percent positive |
| Creator | already arrived studios, a group with a verified badge |
Two of those rows matter for update tracking. The four-month-old rebuild already holds a 95 percent-positive rating, and the Updated field shows a same-day build. A game at that rating and that update pace is not a stale listing, and the update stream is worth following rather than checking once.
The other row worth noting is the concurrency. Roughly 19,900 players across servers of eight means thousands of stores being run at any moment, which is why changes surface in community channels within hours of a drop even with no patch notes anywhere.
The October 9, 2026 build: what is known and what is not
Roblox exposes the Updated timestamp but no change list, so the honest statement is this: a build shipped on October 9, 2026, and the developer has published nothing describing what changed in it. This page will not invent one.
What you can check yourself in a few minutes, in order:
- The description on the game page. If the four verbs or the intro line have changed wording, the update touched systems rather than cosmetics.
- The codes screen. New codes usually ride along with a build, so open the phone, hit Codes, and see whether anything new is in there. The two currently working codes are covered on the codes page.
- The unlock loop. The progression runs on "Unlock new animals and expand your store", so a build that added animals shows up as new entries in that loop. The animals and floors page explains how to read it.
- The first session. The beginner guide covers the tutorial order; if the hand-holding has changed length or content, the build touched onboarding.
Until a dated change list exists somewhere official, the timestamps on this page are the record. The money page and the layout page are the two most likely to need revision after a balance-flavoured build.
How codes follow updates
Codes are the observable rhythm of this game's update cycle. Two are working right now, SNEK and PETS, and both pay a Deluxe Pet Pack. ProGameGuides, GamesRadar and Gamerant all listed both as active on October 5, 2026, and Destructoid reconfirmed them on October 8, 2026. No code has expired yet, and GamesRadar's reasoning is the correct one: the game is new enough that none of its codes have retired.
The 250-coin strings you will find on other trackers - MEOW, LUCKY, WOOF, 70KLIKES and friends - belong to the older 2020 listing of the same name. PCGamesN still carries that roster, which is why its page reads as a mix of two games. Treat any coin-code list as the old game's until proven otherwise.
Redemption has been stable across every build so far: finish the tutorial, open the phone on the left of the screen, choose Codes, paste, redeem. The reward for a Pet Pack pops up immediately, which is the easiest way to confirm whether a code still works after an update. If a code fails the day after a build, the usual cause is retirement rather than a bug.
The Discord announces drops before the trackers copy them, and the codes screen tells you whether the drop reached your account. Two minutes after a build tells you everything the patch notes would have told you.
Remake vs the 2020 listing, and Tycoon 2
The single biggest trap in this game's coverage is the name collision. Two different Roblox games are called Pet Store Tycoon, and a third, Pet Store Tycoon 2, is a separate game again. The update history of one tells you nothing about the others:
| 2026 remake (this page) | 2020 listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Creator | already arrived studios, verified group | DantesDivine |
| Universe / place | 10282097014 / 118845698633260 | 1840326425 / 5254674128 |
| Created | June 6, 2026 | June 29, 2020 |
| Last updated | October 9, 2026 | August 21, 2025 |
| Visits | 5,474,600 | 66,077,392 |
| Playing now | about 19,900 | about 24 |
| Max players per server | 8 | 6 |
| Loop wording | feed, clean, play; stock and serve | feed, walk, and play; unlock new floors |
The practical rule: every date and number on this page belongs to the remake. If a tip mentions walking pets, coin codes at 250 each, or floor unlocks, it was written for the 2020 listing. If it mentions a Deluxe Pet Pack, it was written for this one.
FAQ
When did Pet Store Tycoon last update?
October 9, 2026, according to the Updated field on the Roblox listing for the game by already arrived studios. The developer publishes no change list, so the timestamp is the whole record.
Where does the developer announce Pet Store Tycoon updates?
On the game page's Updated timestamp and description, in the official Roblox group the description tells players to join, and on the developer's Discord where new codes appear first. There is no official patch-notes page, wiki or X account as of October 9, 2026.
Is there a patch notes page for Pet Store Tycoon?
No. No changelog, official wiki or Trello board could be verified on October 9, 2026. The closest daily signals are the Discord for new codes and the update timestamp on the game page, which is what this page tracks.
Are Pet Store Tycoon codes still working after the latest update?
Both SNEK and PETS were still working on October 8, 2026, confirmed by Destructoid after the October 5 listings on ProGameGuides, GamesRadar and Gamerant. No code has expired. Redeem with the phone on the left of the screen after the tutorial, and treat a failure after a new build as retirement rather than a glitch.
Is this the same Pet Store Tycoon I played before?
If you played it before 2026, probably not. The remake by already arrived studios launched June 6, 2026, while the older listing by DantesDivine stopped updating in August 2025 and has a different loop, different codes and different pet list. Pet Store Tycoon 2 is yet another game.
Will there be a full change list for the October 9 update?
Not unless the developer starts publishing one. Until then, the verifiable record is the timestamp on the listing, the description wording, and whether the codes and unlock loop changed in game.
