Named in EU consumer authorities' coordinated action on in-game currencies
The EU's Consumer Protection Cooperation Network launched coordinated actions against nine video game companies, including Supercell Oy, to ensure they apply its principles on in-game virtual currencies, such as clear real-money pricing, clear information before purchase, fair terms and protection of vulnerable consumers including children. Authorities said dialogue with the companies had not brought satisfactory results; no breach of law had been established.

Ended Squad Busters; servers close in December 2026
Supercell ended active development of Squad Busters, saying the game "did not reach the long-term quality bar we hold ourselves to", and stopped in-app purchases on 30 October 2025. Players who had made purchases in 2025 could request a transfer of their value to another Supercell game until the end of 2025. Supercell later said the game would be removed from app stores on 1 December 2026 and shut down on 14 December 2026, after which it cannot be played offline or on private servers.

Removed random Brawl Boxes from Brawl Stars
Supercell removed Brawl Boxes, which gave random rewards, from Brawl Stars on 12 December 2022, automatically opening any unclaimed boxes. Characters (Brawlers) instead unlock in a set order on a 'Starr Road' using Credits earned in the game, or can be bought directly with Gems. Supercell later said player numbers fell in early 2023 after the boxes were removed, which led it to introduce random 'Starr Drop' rewards; in 2025 it said random rewards were 'here to stay'.
