Genesis Season 2026 Is Here

Genesis Season is here, and this year is all about celebrating the many ways players make Upland their own.

Whether you’re a collector, competitor, builder, explorer, trader, completionist, or someone who jumps in for the biggest events of the year, Genesis Season 2026 is designed to meet you where you play. With more ways to participate in Upland than ever before, this season brings together exclusive cosmetics, limited passes, collector rewards, Genesis Week celebrations, and new opportunities to shape your journey.

Inspired by a retro Googie theme, Genesis Season 2026 looks back at Upland’s history while celebrating the different play styles that continue to define its future.

Genesis Week 2026 Gold Pass

Genesis Week runs from June 8 to June 12, and just like last year, players will have the chance to earn rewards reserved exclusively for Genesis Week Gold Pass holders.

The limited Genesis Week 2026 Gold Pass adds an extra layer of rewards to your Genesis Week experience with no travel required. All players can join the events and festivities in-app, but this pass unlocks exclusive rewards in celebration of Genesis Week, including unique Block Explorers and more for players who want to go all-in.

Burning the Gold Pass also counts as one of the four characters needed to unlock the Genesis Fusion Pass.

What You Get:

All Genesis Season cosmetic drops & Wildcard Perk
A limited-edition Genesis Week 26 Block Explorer
An exclusive Genesis 26 Go Kart

The Go Kart and Block Explorer will be revealed in a later Genesis Week announcement, so stay tuned.

Genesis Season 2026 is built around everything that makes Upland special: the players, the play styles, the collectibles, and the moments that bring the community together. Whether you’re collecting every drop, chasing rewards, or just here to enjoy Genesis Week, this season is your chance to be part of what comes next.

Genesis Season Pass

The Genesis Season Pass is your gateway to themed cosmetics, exclusive features, and your Genesis Season Collector Score.

To get in on the action, just grab a Genesis Season Pass and burn it to activate. This unlocks your eligibility for all future Genesis drops, adds a shiny season-specific badge to your profile, and kicks off your collecting adventure in Upland.

What’s Inside:

Four unique, collectible characters themed around the different play styles in Upland
Weekly cosmetic drops, one per week (6 total)
First Drop this season will be Wednesday June 3rd, then every Tuesday after
Wildcard Token for Gamified Earnings Completionists
Boost to your Genesis Season Collector Score

Starts: Monday, June 1 at 9 AM PT
Ends: Available for the entire season through Wednesday July 15
Price: $6.99

Each week, a snapshot of eligible players is taken at 7 AM PT on Tuesday. Only players who have activated their Season Pass (burning it) by this time will receive that week’s cosmetic drop as well as a special badge for the season.

A single pass burn per season is sufficient to secure all subsequent weekly cosmetic items.

Mission Wildcard Token: Your Completionist Safety Net

Missed a single weekly Gamified Earnings mission? The Wildcard Token has you covered and is included in every burned Season Pass.

If you miss exactly one weekly Gamified Earnings mission during the season, the Wildcard will automatically apply at the end, keeping you eligible for the Completionist Block Explorer reward.

How it works:

Included with every burned Season Pass
Applies only to weekly Gamified Earnings missions
Automatically activates if you miss exactly one weekly mission
Does not apply to season-long Residents or Influence missions
Does count toward the 5-mission earnings requirement
One-time use only

It is a small safety net, designed for Completionists who stay active all season but might need a buffer if one week gets away from them. Stay tuned for more details on the completionist rewards in a separate announcement.

Genesis 2026 Fusion Pass

The ultimate test of a true Genesis collector. Assemble all four unique characters and unlock the special Genesis Fusion Pass.

Whether you have kept them in your wallet or burned, as long as all four characters are in your account by the fusion deadline, you will qualify. This fusion is not just cosmetic. It boosts your Season Collector Score and becomes another jewel in your Upland collection.

Deadline: Wednesday July 8th 9AM PT.
Requirement: All four characters must be in your account at snapshot time
Hold Time: Keep them for at least 24 hours after the deadline to qualify

This is not just for show. The Fusion Pass adds to your Collector Score and is a trophy worth chasing.

Welcome to Genesis Season 2026

Genesis Season 2026 is a celebration of choice, creativity, and community in Upland.

There is no single way to play this season. You can chase every cosmetic, focus on Gamified Earnings, build your Collector Score, unlock the Fusion Pass, compete for rewards, or simply take part in Genesis Week and enjoy the festivities. However you choose to show up, there are more paths than ever to make the season your own.

Get in early, stay active, and play Upland your way.
