Gold Pass Retired: Diamond Pass and a Beefed-Up Free Pass Announced
Supercell announced the end of the Gold Pass, replacing it with a premium Diamond Pass and an upgraded Free Pass with rewards at every milestone.
In late September 2024 Supercell announced a restructuring of Pass Royale. The mid-tier Gold Pass was discontinued, leaving two tracks: a premium Diamond Pass and a substantially improved Free Pass.
The Diamond Pass bundled exclusive cosmetics such as a tower skin and emote with premium chests (Royal Wild Chest, Legendary King's Chest) and Lucky Drops. The Free Pass gained rewards at every milestone, including Evolution Shards, animated banners, and scaling Lucky Drops.
The rollout was staged: the Gold Pass left the Supercell Store on September 25, the supporting game update landed October 2, and the Diamond Pass debuted with the October season on October 7. It was one of the larger monetization shake-ups of the year and set the stage for the Lucky Drop-centric economy that followed.
