Note: The release timing for the update has been rescheduled.
The next Knockout update is almost here, and it brings tons of new content. Titled the Summer update, we can expect a new battle pass and other summer-themed skins, events, and more. If you’ve been waiting for fresh content to jump back into, this is your sign to get ready. Here is everything you need to know about when the update drops and what’s coming.
The Knockout Summer update goes live on Saturday, May 30, 11:00 AM ET. That’s the official launch window, so make sure you’re logged in and ready before then. Here is the full schedule broken down by region so you know exactly when to expect it:
| Region/Country | Start Time |
|---|---|
| United States (ET) | Saturday, May 30 at 11:00 AM |
| United States (PT) | Saturday, May 30 at 8:00 AM |

Make sure you’re logged in before the above time, so you don’t miss the update launch.
This update is bringing new content to shake things up. Here’s what’s confirmed so far:
There’s a good chance an Admin Abuse event happens before the update, and it’s usually one of the most rewarding times to jump into the game.
Admin Abuse is a limited-time event where developers manually trigger random missions and special rewards in-game. Players can earn bonus rewards and experience fun and unpredictable moments during the event. If the usual schedule remains unchanged, it could start one hour before the update, which would be Saturday, May 30, at 10:00 AM ET.
Here’s when that would be in other regions:
| Region/Country | Start Time |
|---|---|
| United States (ET) | Saturday, May 30 at 10:00 AM |
| United States (PT) | Saturday, May 30 at 7:00 AM |
| United Kingdom (BST) | Saturday, May 30 at 3:00 PM |
| India (IST) | Saturday, May 30 at 7:30 PM |
| Australia (AET) | Sunday, May 31 at 12:00 AM |
Keep an eye on official announcements closer to launch for any additional details that drop before the update goes live. More content may be revealed between now and release.
