Round changes are getting a pause button. On 22 October 2026, Turf Crew announced in the Turf #turf-forum channel on Discord that it has been building **Resting hour**, a short break between two rounds.

The plan is to launch Resting hour between the November and December rounds. That makes the October-to-November changeover the last one to run the old way, as long as the schedule holds.

### Update or sit out

Before the launch, Turf Crew will release a new version of the app, and this one is not optional: players will need to update to be able to play at all. As of the announcement on 22 October, the update had not been released, and Turf Crew said more details would follow.

So keep an eye on your app store. Skipping this update means watching the map from the sidelines.

### A heads-up for round start

Turf Crew also flagged a risk. With this much new code already in place, there is a greater chance of problems around the round start. If something unexpected happens, the start of the round may be postponed, and the app will show players when the game opens again.

### Forum talk: move the clock?

The announcement sparked discussion in the forum. One suggestion was to move the round end one or two hours earlier, since the break would otherwise land during prime turfing hours for some players, and others were invited to share their views. Replies also cleared up a point of confusion: the new app version is needed to play at all, not just during the break.

Turf Crew has not said whether the round end time will change. For now, the takeaway for turfers is simple: watch for the update, install it when it lands, and be ready for a possible delayed start.
