The Dress to Impress Valentine’s Update officially launches on February 7, 2026, at 8:00 AM PST (11:00 AM EST). Mark your calendars and set your alarms, because this is when the Flee the Facility collaboration ends and makes way for the most romantic update of the year! The developers have confirmed this will be a week-long event packed with exclusive items, quests, and special rewards that you won’t want to miss.
Unlike previous updates that sometimes had staggered rollouts, this Valentine’s celebration drops simultaneously worldwide—meaning players across the globe can jump in at the same time and experience all the love-themed content together. The timing is perfect too, giving you almost a full week before Valentine’s Day to collect all the exclusive items, complete quests, and show off your romantic style on the runway.

Dress To Impress Valentine’s Update Event Duration?
The Valentine’s Update event runs from February 7, 2026 until Friday, February 13, 2026. That gives you approximately one week to experience everything this romantic update has to offer. However, based on patterns from the Valentine’s 2025 update, here’s what you need to know about item availability:
Limited-Time Content
Main Event: Runs until February 13, 2026
Exclusive Valentine’s Items: Most items available only during the event window
Quest Completion: You have the full week to finish the Valentine’s quest
Special Codes: Often expire within 24-48 hours of release
Seasonal Items: May not return until Valentine’s 2027
What Might Stay Longer?
Based on the 2025 Valentine’s update pattern, some content may remain available beyond the initial week:
Certain items might be accessible until early March
Permanent rank additions and their rewards
Items added to the regular rotation
Quest rewards for those who completed the challenges
My Recommendation: Don’t wait until the last minute! The final days of events often have server congestion, and you don’t want to miss out because you couldn’t log in. I learned this the hard way during the Winter Update when servers were overloaded on the last day.
What’s New in the Valentine’s Update?
After analyzing official teasers, developer Q&As, and community leaks, here’s everything coming in this massive Valentine’s celebration. Trust me, the developers went all out this year!
Romantic Paris Setting Returns
Following the incredible success of the Winter 2025 update, Dress to Impress is bringing us back to Paris—but this time with a romantic Valentine’s twist. The entire game environment transforms with:
Soft Romantic Lighting: Perfect for those screenshot-worthy runway moments
Love-Themed Decorations: Hearts, roses, and romantic touches throughout the city
Enhanced Photo Opportunities: New spots designed specifically for capturing your best Valentine’s outfits
Seasonal Atmosphere: Every corner of Paris has been reimagined for Valentine’s Day
The Paris backdrop isn’t just pretty—it creates an immersive experience that makes you feel like you’re actually walking through the city of love. From my experience testing similar environments in previous updates, this kind of attention to atmospheric detail really elevates the entire gameplay experience.
Valentine’s Quest System: Help Cupid Save the Day
The centrepiece of this update is an engaging two-chapter quest that takes you on a romantic adventure through Paris and beyond. Here’s what I know about the quest structure:
Chapter 1: Cupid’s Valentine’s Crisis
Starting Location: Transformed lobby with Valentine’s decorations
Main Objective: Help Cupid deliver Valentine’s messages throughout Paris
Gameplay: Navigate through romantic locations while collecting special items
Difficulty: Beginner to intermediate level
Rewards: Exclusive items and progress toward the Cupid’s Prodigy set
Chapter 2: The Fortress Challenge
Location: Mysterious new area called “The Fortress”
Complexity: More challenging than Chapter 1
Features: Puzzles, obstacles, and hidden secrets to discover
New Mechanics: Introduction of quest-specific gameplay elements
Ultimate Reward: Complete the exclusive “Cupid’s Prodigy” set
Cupid’s Prodigy Set Includes:
Cupid’s Top (F – Toggle 1)
Matching accessories and jewellery
Exclusive footwear
Special pose animations
Limited-time cosmetics
The quest system is entirely new for Valentine’s 2026 and appears to be more story-driven than previous seasonal events. If it’s anything like the Halloween and Christmas quests, expect 1-2 hours of gameplay to complete both chapters—though dedicated players might finish faster!

This is where the Valentine’s Update really shines. We’re getting over 100 new items across multiple categories, giving you endless customization options for your romantic looks.

Male Body Type Rework
One of the most requested features is finally here! The Valentine’s Update includes a complete rework of the male body type, addressing years of community feedback:

Enhanced Clothing Compatibility: More items now properly fit male body types
New Customization Options: Additional sliders and adjustment features
Better Animation: Smoother pose transitions and runway walks

Final Tips for the Valentine’s Update
As someone who’s been playing DTI since launch and experienced every major seasonal update, here are my final insider tips for making the most of this Valentine’s celebration:
Don’t Wait Until the Last Day: Server congestion, potential bugs, and the risk of missing time-sensitive content make procrastination dangerous. Start playing on day 1 and pace yourself through the week.
Budget Your In-Game Currency: With so many items to purchase, prioritize what you truly want. The Everlasting Love set alone costs $4,800, and pose packs add another $6,000. Save wisely!
Take Screenshots: The Valentine’s Paris setting is stunning. Capture your favorite outfits, quest moments, and runway wins. These memories are just as valuable as the items themselves.
Join the Community: The official Discord and Reddit communities are incredibly helpful and make the game more enjoyable. Share outfit ideas, get quest help, and make friends who share your passion for fashion!
Remember It’s About Fun: Yes, collecting everything and completing all quests is satisfying, but don’t stress if you can’t get every single item. Enjoy the romantic atmosphere, try new styles, and have fun with the Valentine’s theme!
Support the Developers: If you enjoy the update and can afford it, consider purchasing the Queen of Hearts set or supporting in other ways. The development team puts incredible effort into these free updates, and showing appreciation helps ensure future content!
