Lumosity just got an update. Did yours?
Issue 1 · Oct 6–12, 2026. Lumosity’s latest build focuses on new and improved games, updates that integrate the latest cognitive research, and tools for tracking progress and staying motivated. Google Play rolls builds out over several days, so the listing may not show an Update button for everyone at the same time.

These are the three changes in Lumosity: Brain Training Games 10.20.99 that stand out in the developer's update notes and on its Google Play listing this week.
- 01New and improved brain games
Google Play says the build brings new and improved games. Lumosity’s existing library covers skills such as memory, attention, speed, flexibility, problem-solving, math, and words.
- 02Research informs game updates
The notes say the build updates how the app integrates the latest cognitive research. They do not name a study, researcher, or particular change to gameplay.
- 03More tools for tracking progress
Google Play mentions new tools for tracking progress and staying motivated. The app already describes performance insights, progress tracking, and training goals as part of its offering.
Our call on whether to update, and the link to the official Google Play listing, are on this issue's Lumosity: Brain Training Games page.

Tips
- Choose a skill to practise
Lumosity’s description lists games for memory, attention, speed, flexibility, problem-solving, math, and word skills. If you have a particular area in mind, browse the skill options and choose a game that matches it. The listing does not promise that practice will improve real-world ability, so treat the games as structured activities rather than a measure of health.
- Try the daily workout plan
The app description says Lumosity offers daily workout plans and personalized challenges based on training habits and preferences. A short routine can make it easier to return regularly, but the exact activities may depend on how you use the app. Check the workout shown in the app and choose a pace that fits your schedule.
- Review your training insights
Lumosity describes performance insights that can show strengths, weaknesses, and progress across its games. Look at those summaries as information about your play within the app, not as a diagnosis or a complete picture of cognitive ability. The listing does not specify where every insight appears, so explore the progress area rather than relying on an assumed menu path.
Menu names follow the developer's help pages and can differ slightly between versions and phones.
How we write the digest
Each week we check the Google Play listings of the apps our readers use most: the version number, the update date and the developer's What's new notes. When an app has a new version, we put the developer's update notes and the listing details together on one page, in plain words, with a link to the official Google Play listing. Google and most developers release updates in stages over several days, so a version listed here may not have reached your phone yet. Therapymetric is an independent site and is not affiliated with any developer. This page doesn't read your phone or your Google account, and nothing is installed from here.
FAQ
Is this the official list of Lumosity changes?
No. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with Lumos Labs, Inc. Google Play’s app page is the authority for the official listing and release notes. The summary here paraphrases the information provided for this build, and the notes themselves do not identify individual games or spell out how each progress tool works.
Why does Google Play show Open instead of Update?
Google Play rolls builds out over several days, so the listing can show Open while an update is not yet offered to a particular account. The Play data gives no exact rollout schedule. Check the app page again later; avoid relying on a particular date or changing account settings just because the button has not changed.
Does Lumosity include a starting assessment?
The app description says new users can take a free, 10-minute Fit Test to set baseline scores and compare performance with others in their age group. That is a description of the app’s offering, not a change identified in this release. The current notes do not say that the Fit Test itself has been updated.
