Listeners, Brawl Stars continues to evolve with major updates released in June 2025, introducing new gameplay experiences and significant rebalancing of the competitive landscape. The highlight of this month’s updates is the arrival of Brawl Arena, a brand-new game mode that brings longer, more involved matches. In Brawl Arena, teams of three compete to destroy each other’s bases, but with a twist: these bases actively defend themselves, shooting at nearby brawlers and summoning minions to assist in both offense and defense. Bases are protected by turrets that only become vulnerable when an enemy enters their firing range. In addition, robot-spawning zones in the map’s center grant Arena XP, boosting a player's stats as the game progresses. Arena XP is persistent throughout each match, maxing out at 15 levels, and can also be earned by team cooperation and by destroying enemy structures. This makes for fast-paced, strategic matches with a pie graph in the interface to track robot spawn times, ensuring the action stays intense and tactical.

Brawl Arena isn’t just about the thrill of competition; it also offers double the Trophies for every victory compared to other modes, giving players new opportunities to progress quickly through the ranks. However, losses result in the same Trophy deduction as regular modes, so the stakes remain high for every match. Alongside the gameplay innovations, listeners can claim free Starr Drops and even unlock a free skin through special challenges associated with the June update.

On the progression front, Brawl Stars is sunsetting its Masteries system. The #1000Masteries event runs through June 24, 2025, offering one last chance to rack up Mastery Points for wins or being named Star Player. Daily point caps have been raised, and as the community achieves collective milestones, all players unlock bonuses such as faster Mastery gain rates, exclusive cosmetics, Starr Drops, and even Legendary Drops. After this event concludes, Mastery Rewards will no longer be available, marking a significant shift in how progression and rewards work in the game.

The June update also introduces a major round of balance changes focused on the increasingly popular Brawl Arena mode. Several leading brawlers have been adjusted to keep matches fair and competitive. Kenji’s Hypercharge now takes longer to recharge. Janet’s damage boost from leveling up has dropped from 9 percent to 4 percent. Ash’s health and damage buffs have been reduced, and Jae-yong loses both reload speed and HP bonuses. These changes are part of ongoing efforts to keep each match balanced as the game evolves, and they also include systematic improvements to how bots—like robots and towers—behave during matches.

Altogether, Brawl Stars is ushering in a dynamic era with new ways to play, earn rewards, and compete—making June 2025 an important turning point for both longtime fans and newcomers to the game.
