Google Chrome has moved to a two-week release cycle, from the current four-week cycle starting September 2026. The new schedule is applicable to Chrome on desktop, Android, and iOS, starting with Chrome 153.
The tech giant said smaller, more frequent releases should make updates easier to test and fix, adding that the weekly security updates and the 8-week Extended Stable schedule will continue separately.
According to Tech Radar, Google has confirmed that it has officially moved from a four-week Stable release cycle to a two-week one with the launch of Chrome 153.

What does this mean for Google Chrome users? Google said the change will give users and developers faster access to new features, performance upgrades and fixes. At the same time, each update will cover a smaller set of changes, making it easier to test releases and quickly identify and resolve any issues.
“While releases will be more frequent, their smaller scope minimizes disruption and simplifies post-release debugging,” Google said in its developer blog post. “With automated AI discovery tools and community bug reports generating higher patch volume, shorter release cycles make managing security fixes significantly simpler,”the company wrote.
