Emoji Update
Events · Bongo Cat
The Emoji Update launched on October 1, 2025 and added 100 collectible emoji items to Bongo Cat. The emojis are used in multiplayer lobbies to communicate with other players and drop from the same gacha chest system as skins and hats. They are equipped via the Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+4 shortcuts. Reception was mixed: players liked the new content, but some felt the emojis diluted the item pool and hurt rarity values.

As an Update, it arrived with 100 collectible emojis on October 1, 2025. Because they share the chest system — a chest roughly every 30 minutes after 1,000 bongo beats — their arrival thinned pulls of skins and hats, fueling the community debate over the emoji economy.
