Supercell to shut down Squad Busters on December 14, 2026
Key takeaways
- Squad Busters servers shut down on December 14, 2026
- Removed from App Store and Google Play on December 1, 2026
- Launched globally in May 2024
- In-app purchases disabled since October 30, 2025
Supercell will shut down Squad Busters on December 14, 2026, making the game unplayable when its servers go offline that day. The title launched globally in May 2024 and will be removed from the App Store and Google Play on December 1, 2026; players who already have it installed can continue playing until the server shutdown two weeks later.
In-app purchases have been disabled since October 30, 2025, and the studio closed the window to transfer the value of 2025 purchases to other Supercell games at the end of 2025. Supercell previously announced development on Squad Busters would end after several reworks. The studio said it "couldn't find a clear path forward to bring the game up to its standards" and that further changes would have required another major overhaul.
All in-game events and timers will stop when the servers shut down on December 14, and the game will become unplayable at that moment. The App Store and Google Play removals on December 1 mean new players cannot download the game for the last two weeks of service.
Why it matters
Takeaway: this is the first time Supercell has closed a mobile game it launched globally, and affected players have a final two-week playable window between store removal and the December 14 shutdown.
