Listeners, the latest Brawl Stars news as of September 28, 2025, is dominated by an ambitious September update that introduces a high-profile crossover with Subway Surfers, delivers a major gameplay overhaul, institutes significant global pricing changes, and sets the stage for the upcoming Brawl Stars World Finals.

Brawl Stars has partnered with Subway Surfers for a unique collaboration event, letting listeners travel through four virtual cities and introducing the new Subway Run game mode. This event is accessible through a dedicated reward track based on collecting Rails, which are earned by daily wins, special quests, club events, contests, and even content creator bounties. The Subway Super ability and temporary modifiers add a fresh twist, and exclusive rewards such as the Jake Ollie Skin await dedicated players[2][1].

In terms of gameplay, this update is transformative. Key brawlers like Gene, El Primo, Darryl, Leon, Bea, Max, and Kaze have received buffs to important stats such as damage, health, or reload speed, improving their viability. Meanwhile, balance has been restored with nerfs to Shade, Barley, Larry & Lawrie, Bull, Mandy, Bonnie, Juju, Jae, Alli, R-T, and Doug. Changes include reduced damage, slower reload speeds, and decreased health. Another core mechanic tweak increases trophy loss on defeat by 50 percent, raising the stakes for competitive bouts. Respawn times now scale visibly with player level in the Brawl Arena, further aligning outcomes with skill and strategy[1].

A suite of long-requested quality-of-life updates and bug fixes accompany this overhaul. Commonly reported problems, such as brawlers stuck in matchmaking and errors affecting Gale’s Super or Nani’s projectile speed, have been tackled. Listeners will notice improvements in trophy progress tracking, animation effects, visual cues for Supers, corrected skill descriptions, and better handling of dash gadgets near walls. The Mega Pig Ticket system has also been tuned: it now requires fewer tickets and has recalibrated win thresholds, making event goals more attainable while preserving challenge[1][2].

One of the biggest structural changes in Brawl Stars history involves global pricing. After months of testing, local prices have been adjusted in over 100 regions—especially in Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, Southeast and Central Asia. This makes in-game purchases more affordable for many listeners worldwide, broadening access and supporting a healthier in-game economy. Notably, Brawl Pass gifting across regions with different local prices remains restricted to maintain fairness[1][2].

For listeners invested in competitive play, Brawl Stars is ramping up to the 2025 World Finals, to be held at DreamHack Stockholm from November 28 to 30. Major teams such as Tribe Gaming, SK Gaming, HMBLE, ZETA DIVISION, and many others will compete, with new in-game rewards, ranked pass content, and exclusive merchandise available during the event window. Watching the finals online also lets fans earn Pro Pass XP just by tuning in[3].

In summary, this month’s Brawl Stars changes offer new content, deeper mechanics, and more accessible participation, keeping the game dynamic for both long-time fans and newcomers. Stay tuned through in-game news or official Brawl Stars channels for further developments as the community adapts to this energizing new chapter[1][2][3].
