Developers released Update 8 for the game Steal An Egg, allowing players to transform their pets into rideable mounts. This update also introduces the new Nitro Race event where players can compete for Trophies.
Why it matters
The introduction of mounts and racing events creates a new competitive loop for players to earn specialized rewards. These features expand how players interact with their existing collection of pets within the game world.
Nitro Race events now occur every 30 minutes, allowing players to earn Trophies for exchange items like Boosters and a rare bat. Players can purchase a maximum of 5 Shooting Stars each week from the vendor Stellaris the Star Handler.
The players
Stellaris the Star Handler
This in-game merchant serves as the primary source for players looking to purchase Shooting Stars.
The details
Players convert pets into mounts by activating a Shooting Star, which can be acquired during in-game nights or purchased from Stellaris the Star Handler. Trophies won during the bi-hourly Nitro Race can be traded for Nitro Mutation consumables.
Timeline
Steal An Egg Update 8 was released on October 10, 2026.
The purchase limit for Shooting Stars resets every Saturday.
Nitro Race events occur every 30 minutes.
The Halloween Dimension expansion is scheduled to arrive next week.
Season Trajectory
This content release follows the established pattern of live-service expansions seen across the Steal An Egg game platform. The update serves as a precursor to the upcoming seasonal transition, preparing the game's economy for the addition of a new dimension next week.
Players should focus on participating in Nitro Races every 30 minutes to maximize their Trophy yield for purchasing the new rare bat. Maintaining a weekly routine to buy the 5 available Shooting Stars is essential for anyone looking to convert multiple pets into mounts.
The takeaway
Players looking to optimize their progress should prioritize saving Shooting Stars for their favorite pets before the Halloween event begins. Engaging with the new 30-minute race cycle is currently the most efficient way to acquire high-value mutation consumables.
What happens next
The Halloween Dimension expansion is scheduled to launch next week, which will introduce a two-part event and a new dimension to the game.
