Supercell to Sunset Squad Busters After December Finale, Server Closure in 2026

The studio says the game fell short of internal standards despite a rapid global launch.

Overview

  • In-app purchases were disabled on October 30, 2025, with a value-transfer option for 2025 spend opening November 10 through December 31 to titles like Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans, Hay Day, and Boom Beach.
  • One final content update arrives in December 2025, and servers are scheduled to go offline sometime in 2026, not before mid-year.
  • Supercell said Squad Busters did not meet expectations despite bold live changes such as the Heroes update, framing the decision as a lesson from moving faster rather than running long soft launches.
  • Players will receive free bundles via the Supercell Store and returning Squad Busters–themed cosmetics across other games starting November 10, with an in-game Q&A set for November 13.
  • The development team will shift to existing live games and new projects, and this marks the first time Supercell has ended a game after a full global release.
