Move over Taco Tuesday. Restaurants and pop-up stands are betting on Taco Saturday, stacking daylong specials, late-night service, and block-party vibes to seize weekend crowds and turn a midweek gimmick into the main event.

Another week, another Brainrot grind. Hot on the heels of last week’s Yin Yang drop that added fresh Brainrots and Mutations, the next Steal a Brainrot event is already locked in. It’s Rebirth 16, and yes, it’s one of those prestige-style resets. Here’s the what, when, and why-you-should-care.

When it starts

The Rebirth 16 event kicks off Saturday, 4 October 2025 at 8pm BST. If you’re elsewhere, here’s when that lands for you:

  • US West Coast (PDT) – 12pm, 4 Oct
  • US Central (CDT) – 2pm, 4 Oct
  • US East Coast (EDT) – 3pm, 4 Oct
  • Brazil (BRT) – 4pm, 4 Oct
  • Central Europe (CEST) – 9pm, 4 Oct
  • India (IST) – 12:30am, 5 Oct
  • Singapore (SGT) – 3am, 5 Oct
  • Japan (JST) – 4am, 5 Oct
  • Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 6am, 5 Oct
  • New Zealand (NZDT) – 8am, 5 Oct

So… what is Rebirth 16?

This is the series’ prestige loop. You reset your current Cash and your Brainrots, and in return you get a bump to your Cash multiplier, a chunk of starter Cash, more Brainrot slots for your base, and some new gear to make the climb back up move faster. It’s the inside-baseball part of the game where short-term pain pays off long-term.

What’s new this time

New Brainrots are the headliners again. The official Steal a Brainrot account has been polling players on which ones to add, and so far one newbie is confirmed: Cachorrito Melonito (Mythic). The name’s a mouthful, but it’s Mythic, so expect it to matter. There’s also a new craftable option: Squalanana (Brainrot God). Crafting your way to a God-tier Brainrot sounds exactly as sweaty as it should.

On the gameplay side, Rebirth 16 adds a new Equip Slot and rolls in additional gear. And for the chaos gremlins, there’s a new Los Lucky Block coming too. You know how that goes: high risk, high reward, high chance of instant regret.

How to actually get in

Servers will be slammed at the top of the hour. Do yourself a favor and log in about 30 minutes early to lock a spot before the rush. If you’re rolling with friends, consider a private server so you’re not elbowing the entire playerbase for space.
