Brawl Stars March 2025 Update: New Ranked Mode Changes & Extra Maps!

Brawl Stars has made further adjustments to the Ranked Pool with the March 2025 update, introducing the Bounty game mode and adding an extra map for each mode. These changes come in response to community feedback regarding Brawl Hockey, which remains in the rotation despite ongoing criticism.

Brawl Stars Responds to Community Concerns with Ranked Pool Updates

The Brawl Stars team took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the latest updates to the Ranked Pool, acknowledging fans' dissatisfaction—especially regarding Brawl Hockey’s continued presence. The developers have demonstrated a quick response to player concerns, as seen previously with the Pizza Planet Event compensation and Buzz’s nerf.

To address the issue, the team has added the Bounty game mode to the Ranked Pool and increased the number of maps per mode from three to four. By implementing these changes, they aim to reduce the frequency of Brawl Hockey while enhancing variety in ranked matches.

New Maps Added to Each Game Mode

Here are the additional maps introduced in the update:

• Bounty: Hideout, Layer Cake, Dry Season, Shooting Star
• Gem Grab: Gem Fort
• Brawl Ball: Triple Dribble
• Hot Zone: Ring of Fire
• Knockout: New Horizons
• Brawl Hockey: Starr Garden

Fans have welcomed these adjustments, though some continue to advocate for either the complete removal of Brawl Hockey or a reduction in its probability at higher ranks—similar to how modifiers were previously handled. While the update brings improvements, the debate around Brawl Hockey’s place in Ranked mode remains ongoing.
