Pet Simulator 99 Beginner Guide: Complete Walkthrough for New Players (2026)

Last updated: May 13, 2026. This guide covers Pet Simulator 99 as of Update 78 (May 2026), including the latest Void RNG Event, new worlds, and current pet meta.

What Is Pet Simulator 99?

Pet Simulator 99 is one of the most popular games on Roblox, developed by BIG Games. It blends pet collection, incremental progression, and player-to-player trading into a deeply addictive gameplay loop. Since launching in January 2023, the game has received 78+ major updates and maintains a consistent player base of over 100,000 concurrent players.

In Pet Simulator 99, you:

• Break breakables (crates, coins, chests) across hundreds of areas to earn coins and gems
• Hatch eggs to collect pets that automatically damage breakables for you
• Upgrade and evolve your pets into Golden, Rainbow, and Shiny variants for massive power multipliers
• Complete quests for boosts, items, and progression rewards
• Trade with other players at the Trading Plaza to get pets you cannot hatch
• Unlock new worlds including Prison World, Kawaii World, Fantasy World, and the Void World
• Participate in events for exclusive Huge, Titanic, and Gargantuan pets

This guide covers everything a brand-new player needs to go from their first egg hatch to unlocking the Void World and competing with endgame pets.

Getting Started: Your First Hour

Step 1: Complete the Tutorial

When you first join Pet Simulator 99, you will spawn in the Spawn World tutorial area. Complete the tutorial to earn your first free starter pets and coins. The tutorial walks you through the core mechanics: tapping breakables, hatching eggs, and equipping pets.

Step 2: Focus on Reaching Area 10

Your primary goal for the first session should be reaching Area 10. Each new area gives you access to stronger eggs with better pets. The pets from Area 10 will be dramatically more powerful than your starting pets, making progression much faster.

Key rule: Always farm the newest area you can clear efficiently. If objects take more than 10 seconds to break, drop down to a lower area where you can farm faster.

Step 3: Hatch Every Egg You Get

In the early game, quantity matters more than quality. Hatch every egg you can afford. You will gradually build up a roster of pets that damage breakables automatically. Equip your strongest pets and keep progressing through areas.

Step 4: Prioritize Pet Upgrades

Don’t just collect pets — upgrade them. Golden pets give 4x stats and Rainbow pets give 8x stats compared to their normal versions. Combining multiple copies of the same pet in the Fusion Machine creates these powerful variants.

Pro tip: Quality over quantity. One fully upgraded Golden pet is worth far more than dozens of base-level common pets.

Step 5: Complete Quests Early

Quests give boosts, items, and progression rewards that significantly accelerate your progress. Talk to every NPC with a quest marker and complete their objectives before moving on to farming.

Core Game Mechanics

Currency System

Pet Simulator 99 has multiple currencies, each serving different purposes:

The Rebirth System

Rebirthing is the core progression mechanic. Each rebirth sacrifices your current progress but grants permanent boosts that make future progression exponentially faster.

There are 9 total rebirths as of 2026. Each rebirth grants:

• Permanent damage multipliers
• Better Huge pet hatch chances
• New teleportation options
• Access to new worlds and features

Don’t fear rebirths. It feels bad to lose progress, but the permanent boosts make your next run dramatically faster. Always rebirth as soon as you can.

The Daycare System

The Daycare lets you level up your pets passively while you do other things. Drop your pets into the Daycare before doing other activities (trading, AFK farming, etc.) and they will return with increased stats.

Enchantments Guide for Beginners

The Upgrade Enchants Machine unlocks at Area 16 (Crimson Forest). This is one of the most important unlocks in the game.

How Enchants Work

• Apply enchantments to your pets to give them permanent bonuses
• Enchants stack additively with diminishing returns — each level of the same enchant provides less benefit than the previous one
• You unlock more enchant slots as your rank increases
• Rank 20 is the minimum to access all free enchant slots

Best Beginner Enchant Loadouts

For general progression (recommended first setup):

For gem farming (use when you have a high area unlocked):

For hunting Huge pets:

Pet Variants

How to Get Your First Huge Pet

Getting a Huge Pet is the single most important milestone for any player. Here are the best methods:

Method 1: Huge Rotation (Free, Easiest)

Every 2 days, specific Huge pets get boosted hatch rates from the current best egg. Check the Huge Rotation banner in-game and farm that egg. This is the most reliable free method.

Method 2: Prison Keys

In Prison World, breaking cells with a Prison Key gives you 10x Huge pet chance. Prison Keys drop from cells or can be traded in the Trading Plaza.

Method 3: Events

Events frequently offer the best free-to-play Huge pet opportunities. The current Void RNG Event (Update 78, May 2026) features the TITANIC Arcane Void Cat and multiple Huge pets with boosted rates.

Method 4: Trading Plaza

If you have accumulated valuable items, trade up to a Huge Pet at the Trading Plaza. Even without gems, you can trade collections of pets, enchants, and potions for a Huge.

Making Gems and Diamonds Fast

Best Gem Farming Strategy

1. Go to the highest area you can clear quickly
2. Equip pets with Diamond 7 enchants
3. Use Fortune, Chest Mimic, and Treasure Hunter enchants
4. Activate any Diamond Boost potions
5. Set up AFK farming with this loadout

Quick Currency Tips

• Don’t hoard gems — spend them on progression upgrades and trades
• Sell everything you don’t need — potions, flags, fruits, and enchants all sell for diamonds
• Trade actively — the Trading Plaza is the fastest way to upgrade your pet roster
• Complete daily quests — consistent bonus currency
