The current first-party Pet Simulator 99 update is Update 87: Plant & Combine, published by BIG Games on 2026-08-01. It continues the garden event introduced by Update 86: Pets vs. Coins on 2026-07-25. The phrase “round two” in the newer post matters: these are two stages of one current event chain, not separate Roblox experiences.
This single update hub keeps the dated chronology at /updates/. Strategy lives in the Events hub, while this page answers what BIG Games actually announced, which systems changed, and which details still require the live client. It does not create separate Update 86 or Update 87 routes.
Latest update: Plant & Combine
Update 87 extends the Pets vs. Coins garden with a conversion chain and a new progression layer. BIG Games added the Combine-o-Matic, garden pet variants, a Diamond Egg, Super Rebirth, Garden Missions, a Fuse Machine, a Boost Machine, more crops, more upgrade tiers, XP Tokens, Sunflower Boosts, Bloom Tokens, free Auto Garden helpers, Garden League, and refreshed Coin Boss rewards.
The most important route change is Super Rebirth. BIG Games says players push past garden Rebirth 6 by completing all three Garden Missions: defeating coins, harvesting crops, and earning rebirths. The post does not publish every required total or the full reset behavior, so open the mission board before planning a long session.
The Combine-o-Matic takes event resources through a chain that begins with Sunflower Gifts and can reach Huge and Titanic pets. The official post names Huge Garlic Chick, Huge Tomato Turtle, Huge Broccoli Dino, and Titanic Blossom Kitsune as combine rewards. Exact inputs and quantities are intentionally left to the live machine.
What remained from Pets vs. Coins
Update 86 established the garden-defense loop: place pets in lanes, defeat incoming coins, trigger Coin Bosses, collect seeds, grow crops on Farm Plots, harvest Sunflowers, buy Garden Eggs and upgrades, and rebirth to unlock tougher bosses. BIG Games described seven lanes with nine pet positions per lane.
The update also introduced Gardening Potions with named roles: Fertilizer for damage, Sunlight for attack speed and crop growth, Rain for coin and seed luck, and Growth Cocktail for the combined effect. Those purposes are official; duration, tier strength, stacking, availability, and optimal timing remain live-game details.
Garden crops continue earning while the player is offline according to the official Update 86 post. That does not establish an uncapped rate or a universal best seed. Check the current plot panel, growth state, harvest total, and any cap whenever you return.
Current player route after Update 87
- Join the official experience and confirm the current garden event is still accessible in your server.
- Open every active Garden Egg and Upgrade Machine tier before spending Sunflowers.
- Read the Garden Missions board; choose a lane, crop, and rebirth task that can progress together.
- Use duplicate garden defenders at the Fuse Machine only after protecting pets needed for lanes or combining.
- Save Sunflower Gifts until you decide between opening them and feeding the Combine-o-Matic.
- Use XP Tokens on defenders that remain part of your current lane plan.
- Trigger Coin Bosses through normal coin defeats; use Bloom Tokens only after reading their current multiplier.
- Consider Super Rebirth when all three missions are complete and the reset preview is understood.
This order avoids two expensive mistakes: consuming a required pet in the wrong machine and resetting before you have claimed or recorded a current objective. The event guides break each decision into a dedicated route.
Official limited-pet routes
BIG Games’ Update 87 post ties each featured limited pet to a method. Titanic Blossom Kitsune belongs to the Combine-o-Matic; Titanic Chili Chinchilla to Coin Bosses; Titanic Zucchini Zebra to League and leaderboard rewards; and Titanic Diamond Penguin plus Titanic Diamond Capybara to the Diamond Egg. The same post assigns several Huge pets to combining, bosses, Garden Eggs, competition, and the Diamond Egg.
Update 86 named earlier garden rewards including Huge Watering Can Elephant, Titanic Lotus Otter, Gargantuan Rose Wolf, Huge Turnip Hamster, leaderboard pets, and clan-battle pets. Some were refreshed or returned in Update 87. A named route proves the intended source at publication time, not today’s drop chance or availability.
Use the Garden Pets index to separate garden defenders from Huge, Titanic, and Gargantuan chase rewards. Use Coin Bosses for the boss route and Combine-o-Matic before feeding any gift or pet.
Competition and status checks
Update 87 replaced the prior event’s competitive focus with Garden League and a refreshed Boss Leaderboard. BIG Games says Coin Boss defeats drive both, with Huge, Titanic, and Gargantuan wins also contributing to score. The official post published reward bands, but a static page should not act as a live standings screen.
Before competing, check the in-game timer, scoring explanation, current rank, tie behavior, and reward-delivery wording. The seven-day statement in Update 86 applied to the Gummy Clan Battle; it must not be reused as the overall event end date or Update 87 League duration.

What still needs in-game verification
BIG Games’ posts do not settle every operational detail. Verify current event access, remaining time, hotfixes, upgrade costs, machine inputs, crop growth times, seed and pet odds, boss thresholds, mission totals, boost duration, rebirth reset scope, leaderboard state, tie handling, and reward delivery in the live build.
Do not infer a mechanic from promotional art alone. If the live UI disagrees with this dated summary, use the current UI for immediate play and record the mismatch with a date. That is especially important after a weekly update or server migration.
Update FAQ
What is the latest Pet Simulator 99 update?
At the 2026-08-04 checkpoint, the latest first-party post is Update 87, Plant & Combine, dated 2026-08-01.
Is Pets vs. Coins over?
Update 87 explicitly calls itself the second round and continues the garden. This page does not assert a final end time; check the current experience and event timer.
Where are Update 86 and 87 detail pages?
They are dated sections on this one /updates/ hub. Gameplay routes are consolidated under Events to avoid duplicated patch-note articles.
Are the official leaderboard rewards guaranteed now?
The published bands document the update’s intended rewards. Current placement, eligibility, ties, delivery, and any hotfixes must be checked in game.
Why are exact combine recipes and odds missing?
The official posts name the machines and reward routes but do not publish every live input or probability. Inventing those fields would be less useful than directing players to the current machine preview.
