Steal An Egg just shipped its biggest content drop since launch, and it's the reason the game is sitting at the very top of Roblox right now. The August update added a brand-new Cherry Blossom region, a new event with its own mutation system, and a fresh pet — the Crane — that gates the whole thing behind a serious Speed wall. If you've logged in this week and found a pink tree at the back of the map you can't reach yet, this guide explains exactly what changed, how to unlock the new biome, and how the new Bloom and Spirit Bloom mutations actually work.
Everything below is verified against the official Roblox game page and IGN's Steal An Egg guide (ign.com/wikis/steal-an-egg-roblox), which was updated August 22, 2026 — the same day the update landed. This is a game that ships changes almost daily, so treat pet income numbers as the current baseline and re-check the in-game index for the freshest figures.

What's in the Steal An Egg Cherry Blossom update? (quick answer)
TL;DR — August 2026. The Cherry Blossom update adds a new endgame biome, the Cherry Blossom region, sitting past the Cosmic zone. To open it you need a Crane (a new Epic pet worth $4,000/second) and roughly 2.5 billion Speed to survive the region's Guardian. Feeding a Crane to the Cherry Blossom Tree unlocks the Great Bloom event, where you smash blooming trees with your bat to collect stones and mutate your eggs — with a chance at the two new modifiers, Bloom and Spirit Bloom, which sharply raise a pet's value. The update dropped alongside a developer "Admin Abuse" boost event on August 22, 2026. There are still no codes in Steal An Egg.
Keep that framing as you read: this update is about reaching a new biome and mutating for value, not a wipe or a rebalance. Your existing pets and progress carry over — the Cherry Blossom region is bolted on top as the new ceiling to climb.
How do you unlock the Cherry Blossom biome in Steal An Egg?
The Cherry Blossom region is the new farthest-back zone on the map, and it's the first area built around a two-step unlock rather than pure Speed. Here's the path, per IGN's Steal An Egg guide:
- Reach the Cherry Blossom region. Like every biome, you steal eggs here — but the Guardian in this zone is fast. IGN pins the requirement at a minimum of ~2.5 billion Speed to escape with an egg before it catches you. If you're getting caught on the way out, that's a Speed problem: keep training on the treadmill and rebirthing before you fight the biome.
- Hatch a Crane. The Crane is a new Epic pet and the most common hatch in the Cherry Blossom region — its egg looks like a pink top with dark purple lines around the middle. It pays $4,000/second on its own, but its real job is being your key to the next step.
- Feed the Crane to the Cherry Blossom Tree. Bring the Crane to the large tree behind the region and hand it over. That unlocks the Cherry Blossom event — the new mutation system described below.
The 2.5-billion-Speed gate is the honest bottleneck here. If you're mid-game, don't expect to walk into Cherry Blossom the day you see it — this is content aimed at players who've already pushed through Cosmic and rebirthed a few times.
What are the new Cherry Blossom pets?
The Cherry Blossom region follows the same eight-pet-per-biome structure as the rest of Steal An Egg, and it slots in as one of the highest-income biomes in the game. Here are the confirmed pets and their base money-per-second, from IGN's pet index (pulled August 24, 2026):
| Pet | Rarity | Money / second |
|---|---|---|
| Crane | Epic | $4K/s |
| Salamander | Legendary | $74K/s |
| Red Panda | Mythic | $450K/s |
| Snowy Owl | Cosmic | $7.5M/s |
| Koi | Cosmic | $12M/s |
| Stag | Secret | $145M/s |
Source: IGN Steal An Egg pet index, pulled 2026-08-24. In-game figures can change on any update.
Two more pets sit above the Stag in this biome — an Eternal and a Divine tier slot — but as of this writing IGN hasn't published their names or per-second income yet, so we're not going to invent them. When those top two are confirmed, the Cherry Blossom biome will likely rival the Cosmic biome's Unicorn ($1B/s) at the very top of the roster. For the full cross-biome income ranking, see our Steal An Egg best pets guide.
For scale: the Cherry Blossom Stag at $145M/second already out-earns almost every biome boss outside the Cosmic zone. That's the pattern the whole game runs on — each new biome resets the income scale roughly 10–100× higher, which is exactly why chasing the newest biome beats grinding a better pet in an old one.
How do Bloom and Spirit Bloom mutations work?
This is the genuinely new mechanic, and it's why the update matters beyond "another biome." Unlocking the Cherry Blossom Tree opens the Great Bloom event. Here's the loop, per IGN:
- When the Great Bloom event appears, cherry blossoms spawn around the region.
- You take your bat to the blossoms and hit them to collect the stones they drop.
- You bring those stones to the Cherry Blossom Tree to mutate an egg.
- The mutation has a chance to roll into one of two new modifiers — Bloom or Spirit Bloom — which, in IGN's words, "greatly increasing their value."
That makes Cherry Blossom the first zone where you actively craft a mutation instead of just hoping a rarer egg rolls one at hatch. Spirit Bloom is the rarer, higher-value of the two — treat it as the chase result and keep any Spirit Bloom pet over a plain copy.
Here's the honest part you won't get from a value-clone site: Steal An Egg's developer has not published exact mutation multipliers. Third-party calculators will confidently quote you "×10" or "×50" figures, but those are community guesses and they disagree with each other. IGN confirms the direction ("greatly increasing their value") without a hard number, so the safe read is: a Bloom or Spirit Bloom pet out-earns its plain version — check the actual boost in the in-game UI before you assume a specific multiplier, and never carry mutation math over from Steal a Brainrot or Grow a Garden 2. They're different games with different systems.
How do mutations and sizes boost a pet's income overall?
Cherry Blossom's Bloom mutations are the newest layer, but mutations and sizes have been core to Steal An Egg from day one. The official Roblox game page spells the full loop out in a single line:
"🥚 Steal eggs from pets · 🐣 Hatch eggs to collect rare pets · 💰 Earn money from your pets · ⬆️ Upgrade your treadmill and base · 🏃 Train on the treadmill to gain Speed · 🥷 Steal eggs from other players · ✨ Discover rarer eggs, pets, sizes, and mutations!" — official Steal An Egg description, roblox.com
In practice, a pet's total income stacks three things:
- Rarity sets the base rate. The ladder, ordered by income, runs Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary → Mythic → Cosmic → Secret → Eternal → Divine.
- Size is a separate roll on top of rarity — a pet that hatches unusually large can out-earn a plain copy of a higher rarity.
- Mutations (now including Bloom and Spirit Bloom) apply on top of both. Bigger, more exotic eggs raise your odds of a higher rarity or a mutation at hatch, which is why the endgame play is always to steal the rarest egg you can carry rather than farming a safe one.
The takeaway: don't just chase rarity. A large, mutated Legendary can beat a plain Mythic, and after this update a Spirit Bloom pet is one of the strongest single upgrades you can make to your base income.

Are there any Steal An Egg codes for the update?
No. As of late August 2026, Steal An Egg has no active codes and no codes menu — this was confirmed across multiple trackers on August 17–18, and the Cherry Blossom update did not add a code system. If codes ever launch, they'll be announced first in the game's official Discord; don't trust any "code" you haven't seen posted there, and be especially wary of "free Robux" or generator sites — they violate Roblox's Terms of Use and get accounts terminated. The way to get ahead in Steal An Egg right now is Speed, rebirths, and mutations, not codes.
How big is Steal An Egg right now?
For context on why a single update is worth its own guide: Steal An Egg was created July 25, 2026 and, in under a month, has exploded into the biggest game on the entire platform. Our direct Roblox Games API pull on August 24, 2026 (~14:20 UTC) returned 796,851 concurrent players, 313.3 million visits, and 492,000+ favourites — placing it #1 on both Roblox's live "Top Trending" and "Top Playing Now" sorts, ahead of Brookhaven RP, Blox Fruits, and Murder Mystery 2. Its visit count roughly doubled from 150 million to 313 million in three days. This is a brand-new game still adding biomes and pets almost daily, so expect the roster and these income numbers to keep moving — always re-check the in-game index over any static list.
Should you buy Robux or boost to reach the new biome?
The Cherry Blossom region is gated behind ~2.5 billion Speed and a lot of rebirths, which is exactly why plenty of players look for a shortcut. Two clean, on-platform options:
- Steal An Egg sells six limited Brainrot Eggs in its in-game Store — the only pets you can't hatch from a biome — and they run on Robux. If you want them, top up Robux the fast, safe way rather than risking your account on a "free Robux" scam.
- If you'd rather skip the treadmill grind entirely, timesaver.gg runs legit Roblox pet and progression services that get you to the endgame without a week of babysitting your Speed.
One rule that protects your account: never buy, sell, or trade Robux or pets off-platform for real money. Roblox's Terms of Use explicitly prohibit it and enforce it with suspensions and terminations. Everything below stays inside the rules.
Get to the Cherry Blossom endgame the safe way:
- Robux — fast & safe top-up — instant delivery, best rate, for the Store's Brainrot Eggs
- Roblox Pets & carries — skip the grind, get the pets you want
- All Roblox services — progression, currency and more across every experience

FAQ
How do you unlock the Cherry Blossom biome in Steal An Egg? You reach the new Cherry Blossom region (which needs roughly 2.5 billion Speed to escape its Guardian), hatch a Crane there — a new Epic pet whose egg is pink with dark purple lines — and then feed the Crane to the Cherry Blossom Tree behind the region. That unlocks the Great Bloom event and the new mutation system.
What are the Bloom and Spirit Bloom mutations? They're two new pet mutations added in the Cherry Blossom update. During the Great Bloom event you hit blooming cherry trees with your bat to collect stones, then use them at the Cherry Blossom Tree to mutate an egg — with a chance to roll Bloom or the rarer Spirit Bloom, both of which sharply raise a pet's value. Exact multipliers aren't published by the developer, so confirm the boost in-game.
What is the best new Cherry Blossom pet? By confirmed income, the Stag (Secret rarity, $145M/second) is the top named Cherry Blossom pet so far. Two higher slots — an Eternal and a Divine pet — exist in the biome but haven't been named or priced in the public index yet.
Are there Steal An Egg codes in August 2026? No. The game has no active codes and no codes menu, and the Cherry Blossom update didn't add one. Legit codes, if they ever release, will appear in the official Steal An Egg Discord first — never trust a code from a random site.
Why is Steal An Egg so popular right now? It's the #1 game on Roblox as of August 24, 2026, with 796,851 concurrent players and 313 million visits in under a month since its July 25 launch (Roblox Games API). Its fast, daily update cadence — capped by the Cherry Blossom drop — keeps pulling players back.
