Supercell says the fix for the Brawl Stars exclusive cosmetics issue is set to arrive with the next maintenance update on April 28, and the company will revoke the items that were wrongly distributed.
That same maintenance will begin the compensation process for affected players, with rewards going out after the update. Developers said a solution is already in progress, but Supercell warned it may take several days before every account receives its compensation because so many players were affected. The exact timing of the maintenance has not been confirmed, though it is likely to begin around 5:30 AM UTC based on previous windows.
The move closes the immediate problem created when exclusive cosmetics were distributed incorrectly in Brawl Stars, but it also means players will see the issue handled in two parts: the unwanted items removed first, then compensation sent out over time. For a live-service game with a large player base, that is the practical answer Supercell is giving today.
What matters next is whether the April 28 maintenance lands where expected and whether the compensation rollout moves quickly enough to avoid leaving players waiting for days after the fix is live.
