Search For The Needle Updates: Latest Patch Tracker

Search For The Needle updates fast — the catalogue, codes, and pets have all changed inside a single September week. This page is the running patch log; newest first.

September 12, 2026 — Index + Pets

The biggest content drop since launch:

• Two pets: Cow and Dog — stats and behavior in the Pets & Index guide.
• The Index — a collection-tracking system; scope beyond its name is still being documented.
• PETS code — 200 Gems + 30 minutes of 2X Class Luck, still reported live.
• 2X Class Luck pass — new in the catalogue at 199 Robux.
• Cow Pet pass — flickered off-sale then back at a reported 499 Robux.

Early September — Alien event

• First code system — the game launched without one; the Alien event added the Codes button and ALIEN (200 Gems + 200 Alien Coins).
• Alien Coins — limited-time event currency alongside Gems.
• Fast Rolls pass added September 5 (179 Robux).
• The UFO theme was already in the badge list — the event made it explicit. See the UFO guide.

August 23, 2026 — Launch

• Experience goes live under Garage Games; peaks at 86,000 concurrent players within the first weeks.
• Chapter 1 (FARMHOUSE) and Chapter 2 (BASEMENT) places, four badges, and the initial seven-pass catalogue.

Where to check first

The game page and the Garage Games Roblox group are the only verified official channels — no public Discord or Trello has been confirmed. When a code dies or a price moves, the codes page and gamepasses guide are updated the same day we verify it.
