Storage Hunters: Open World Update [Alien Invasion] – Patch Notes & What's Next

By Money Lord — Founder & Editor | Updated: August 21, 2026

Updated August 21, 2026 — The developer named the next update; we corrected the boss chain.
· August 21 — next update named Business Bay + Clubhouse; boss chain 13 → 30
· August 17 — added garage fees, the 27-item index, the Alien Market, both UFOs
· August 17 — July patches dated from the badge and pass APIs

Alien Invasion is still live, in since August 15, 2026 at 19:00 UTC. The developer's listing, untouched since August 12, closes it August 22 at 19:00 UTC — and Absolute Zero! has named the replacement.

What's in Alien Invasion

No patch notes exist — just one studio line: "Aliens have arrived and they're hunting for exclusive mutators." Everything below is from the Roblox APIs or the Fandom wiki. The area needs $2,000 net worth:

• Auctions run 15 minutes, then shut for 16. Ground-level garages mean bidding is open.
• Three event-only mutations — Probed 4.5%, Abducted 1%, Extraterrestrial 0.25% — worth 4x, 10x and 25x per the wiki, and unobtainable at close.
• The Alien Market: 25 Alien Coins a roll, nine prizes. Coins come from Robux, customer tips, or selling Cows to Rick at 4 coins each plus the cow's cash value.
• 27 alien items, $20 Green Doodle Alien to the $200,000 Alien Jetpack; the full index awards a Limited Xenologist title. Our money guide covers grading.
• The Flying UFO ($27,500,000 or 7,699 Robux, $56,000,000 net worth) flies to the Power Plant island, skipping the ferry; the UFO Car ($75,000 or 749 Robux) stays on the road. Both were Week 8's featured pair — that slot rotates weekly.

Correction: the Alien Boss chain is 30 quests, not 13

Our August 17 figure was the wiki's coverage that day, not the chain. That module has since grown from 3.4 KB to 9.0 KB; its editors number the chain 30 and, as of August 21 at 15:57 UTC, document 27 named quests plus one unconfirmed slot. Twenty-five carry rewards totalling 840 Diamonds and 510 Alien Coins — twenty Market rolls, not five. It runs from First Contact (5 auction wins) to The Mothership Vault (140 Alien Garage 4 wins). Treat it as provisional: an August 21 edit re-added rewards a prior revision had dropped.

The August 20 timestamp was not a patch

The games API stamps the experience updated at August 20, 2026 at 16:17 UTC, but nothing corroborates a content drop. The newest badge is Nothing But Net from July 18, the newest pass Extra Gavel Trophy from July 17, and the developer-side publish stamp on Absolute Zero!'s group games list still reads August 15 at 19:14 UTC — the Alien Invasion release. A republish, not a patch.

Storage Hunters in numbers

Live at 19:45 UTC on August 21, 2026: 95,047 likes to 5,422 dislikes, 8-player servers. Badge ratios show the ladder's depth — 283 accounts hold Find Every Mutator against 19,215,931 join-badge holders. Alien Invasion added no monetisation and no code, per our codes page.

What's next for Storage Hunters: Open World?

On August 19 at 14:02 UTC the developers retitled the placeholder they posted on August 16. Where it read "Next Update — Coming Soon" it now reads Business Bay + Clubhouse, subtitled "NEW AREA!": "Finally, the next area after Lucky beach is here!" It runs August 22 at 19:00 UTC to August 24. Six minutes earlier came a third listing, Club Tournaments, filed under challenge and running August 23 to 30; that still reads "Coming soon", so we name no features.

It also settles the end date: Business Bay opens as the alien listing expires. The wiki contradicts itself — its area module prints "August 29, 2026", unedited since August 16, while its Alien Coins page prints "August 16–30". Two single-game sites carry late dates too, but both are Spaceship, Inc. domains behind Cloudflare registered weeks after the June 2 launch, so we do not cite them. Our hub tracks it.
