Brawl Stars is currently in a maintenance break today, March 4, 2026, to deploy a critical hotfix and balance patch following the massive “Prestige” update from late February.
The primary reason for this break is to fix a major bug where players were getting stuck at 87% on the loading screen, along with several “exploit” fixes.
Key Maintenance Changes (March 4)
-
Bibi Nerf: Her Vitamin Booster gadget was bugged/overpowered. It now heals for 1,000 HP (down from 2,000) and has a 15-second cooldown.
-
Matchmaking Exploit: Fixed an issue in the new “Free Play” mode that allowed players to trick the system into matching them against bots for easy trophy grinding.
-
Bug Fixes: * Fixed a crash issue specifically affecting iOS and iPadOS users.
-
Corrected an interaction where Crow’s Instapoison gadget would prevent Doug from being able to respawn teammates.
-
-
Prestige Mode: Fixed a bug where prestige trophies could drop below 1,000 after a loss in Duels.
When will it be back?
The maintenance is expected to conclude around 11:00 AM (local server time). However, because this patch addresses the “87% stuck” loading bug, Supercell has warned that servers may remain “unstable” for about an hour after they go live as players rush to log back in.

Tip: If you are still seeing the maintenance screen after others say it’s over, try clearing your app cache or checking the App Store/Play Store for an optional “optional update” that often accompanies these fixes.
