Brawl Stars update (June 5, 2025): New game mode, free rewards, and more

The Brawl Stars update released on June 5, 2025, has brought exactly what the developers announced during the last Brawl Talk. The newly added game mode, Brawl Arena, is built to offer longer matches compared to other modes while rewarding you with double the Trophies for every win. However, if you lose, the Trophy deduction stays the same as in regular game modes, making this one of the quickest ways to boost in-game progression.

In addition, you can also claim free Starr Drops and unlock a free skin through a challenge. Read on to learn more about the latest Brawl Stars update.

In the Brawl Arena game mode, you’ll join a team of three and go head-to-head against another squad. The goal is simple: destroy the enemy’s base before they destroy yours. But unlike in Heist matches, these bases can fight back by attacking nearby Brawlers and summoning minions throughout the match.

Each side also has turrets that guard the arena and can’t be targeted until an enemy steps into their range. You’ll see a helpful outline marking their attack radii.

At the center of the map, robot-spawning zones let you gather Arena XP, which boosts your stats mid-game. A pie graph shows when robots will appear next. Arena XP isn’t lost on defeat and maxes out at 15 levels. You can also earn XP by standing near teammates or by taking down enemy buildings.

If you are looking to enhance Colette's appearance, then you can unlock her Tokusatsu skin by completing the four stages of the latest in-game free skin challenge. Every stage requires you to compete in different maps of the Brawl Arena game mode. You can progress to the next stage by achieving three victories in the current stage.

Note that you must achieve twelve victories across four stages without losing three times. Otherwise, you will lose the challenge and the opportunity to access the free skin.
