Lots of brands roll out orange and black experience updates for the Halloween season.
Halloween is a big deal around the world, and it's also a big deal on Roblox.
Not only do top experiences like Brookhaven and Pet Simulator X roll out Halloween-themed updates, but so do more and more brand experiences.
Why Do Experiences Do Halloween Updates?

Some experiences will release updates very often such as every week. Others might roll out updates only a couple of times a year.
