Brawl Stars latest version: what’s new in the updates and how to download the new patch

Brawl Stars receives regular updates: Supercell adds characters, skins, events, game modes, balance adjustments, and bug fixes. That’s why players often look for the latest version of Brawl Stars to find out what’s changed in the game and whether it’s worth downloading the new patch. In this article, we’ll explain how often Brawl Stars updates are released, what’s usually added in new versions, and how to safely download the latest version of Brawl Stars on Android.

The latest Brawl Stars update was released on June 30. Updates typically last two months.

Before a patch is released, the developers host a Brawl Talk stream where they discuss what’s coming in the new season. After that, the content is added to the game. The developers’ stream for the current update took place on June 27, 2026.

This summer, Supercell released the “Nano Noodles” summer update, themed around Japanese food. The story centers on Kenji and Kaze’s sushi bar, and revolves around their son, Nori. He became a playable character from the Starr Park faction, and along with him, the support shield-bearer Wendy was added to the game.

The game also introduced Nano Prizes containing Nano Sils to enhance fighters’ unique abilities (a total of 106 Nano Sils across four rarities), as well as Smoothie Prizes that unlock power-ups for fighters (106 of those as well).

Three new bosses have been added to the game:

The new characters are already available.

1. Nori is a legendary assassin. His attack winds up his fishing rod for a cast, and the farther he casts it, the more powerful the throw will be. He can also pull himself toward walls and other fighters, and his abilities let him catch fish and use them for his skills.

2. Wendy — a mythical support character. Hits on her shield charge her Super. Her unique ability is that she moves across water. Her skills allow her to slow enemies and buff her own shield.

Major Brawl Stars updates are usually released every few months and are often tied to a new season, event, or Brawl Talk. In between, Supercell releases minor patches: balance adjustments, technical updates, and bug fixes. A single major update may include several minor adjustments—the developers work to ensure the game remains engaging and well-balanced.

Brawl Stars is not officially available on the Russian Google Play Store or App Store. Therefore, players usually use the most popular methods to bypass this restriction.

To do this, turn off GPS and use an app to change your IP address to another country. After that, clear the Google Play cache in Settings and clear the app data. Then open Google Play, go to your profile, and navigate to Settings. Select “General” and go to “Account and Device Settings.” Change the country to the one specified in your IP-changing app.

You can only change your region this way once a year. And for one year after changing your region, you won’t be able to select a different country. Also, when you change your region, your Google Play balance in the old currency will be lost.

Enable the internet accelerator for the desired country, create a new Google email account, and select the new country there. Go to Google Play and select “Add Account.”

This method is simpler, but it requires an available phone number (it doesn’t have to be from the country where you’re registering). With this method, you can download all the apps you need, and then switch back to your main account and use it.

Before downloading the Brawl Stars APK, make sure you’re not downloading it from a fraudulent site. Do not enter your account information on suspicious sites or in suspicious versions of the app. This could result in the loss of your account.

On some devices, you can install the game through alternative app stores:

The availability of Brawl Stars depends on your account region, so you may need to change your country in the store settings.

Aurora Store is an unofficial Google Play client for Android. It allows you to download apps directly from Google Play without a Russian account. To install the game, you may need an IP-changing program and an account from a different region.

Many players update Brawl Stars through APK repositories that quickly release new versions of the game: APKMirror, Uptodown, and APKPure. These services publish the original installation files and archives of older versions of the game.

If your smartphone doesn’t support the new version of the game, you can install Brawl Stars using Android emulators, such as BlueStacks or LDPlayer. These allow you to run the latest versions of the game on your computer.
