Upland announces Sizzle Season 2026
Upland‘s Sizzle Season 2026 will span six weeks, starting August 1 and running through September 15. Players can purchase the Sizzle Season Pass for $6.99, which is burned upon activation, making the account eligible for weekly cosmetic drops, a season badge, and a Wildcard Token.
The Sizzle Season Pass serves as one of four collectible passes for this season. Once burned, it adds a Sizzle season badge to the player’s profile and increases their Sizzle Season Collector Score. Unlike previous seasons, there is no level track within the pass; players progress through weekly drops and activities.
A key aspect of this season is the inclusion of a Wildcard Token with each pass. This token covers exactly one missed weekly Gamified Earnings mission, ensuring that players maintain eligibility for the Completionist Block Explorer reward.
Key dates and eligibility
Pass sales will start at 9:00 AM PT on August 1 and remain available until September 15. Weekly snapshots to determine eligibility will occur every Tuesday at 7:00 AM PT. To receive a cosmetic drop for the week, players must burn their pass before the snapshot. Six weekly cosmetic drops will be distributed, with the Fusion Pass snapshot scheduled for September 8 at 9:00 AM PT.
Players aiming for the Sizzle Fusion Pass must hold all four character collectibles by the snapshot and maintain that collection for at least 24 hours for eligibility verification. Characters do not count if added after the September 8 deadline.
Rules for Sizzle Season 2026
The pass price is fixed at $6.99, with one burn covering the entire season. Missing a Tuesday snapshot results in losing only that week’s drop, but any rewards tied to the account are secured once delivered. All four character collectibles must be linked to the account during the Fusion snapshot to qualify for the top collector reward.
The Wildcard only applies to missed weekly missions, is triggered automatically after one miss, and can be used once throughout the season. Residents and Influence missions are not covered by the Wildcard. This season’s detailed Gamified Earnings requirements and rewards will be outlined in a separate announcement.
“Together, they’re experiencing something really unique,” said an Upland representative regarding the engagement strategies for this season.
