Starting in October 2024, Clash Royale is making sweeping changes to its Pass Royale system, changing the ways players earn rewards. This will come at the end of the September 2024 Season. Here’s everything you need to know about the new October 2024 update.
Clash Royale October 2024 Changes: Permanent removal of Gold Pass Royale
Gold Pass will be removed from the game after the new October season drops. After this change, there will only be two tiers from which we can earn rewards: the free tier (upgraded Free Pass) and the premium tier (Diamond Pass).
Reason for removal of Gold pass
The decision to remove the Gold Pass comes as a move to simplify the system. With just one premium option, the Diamond Pass, and since very less people are likely to buy the Gold Pass, as it gave very little value it makes even more sense why Supercell is removing it completely. Alongside this, the Free Pass has been enhanced, ensuring a better experience for all types of players, whether they opt for the premium route or not.
Key Enhancements to the Free Pass royale
The free pass will be revamped starting from October 2024. Here are some of the key improvements:
- Evolution Shard: This allows players to evolve their cards, providing strategic upgrades as they progress.
- Animated Banner: A stylish new addition to profile customization, nothing of much importance in terms of resources but does add it to that drip!
- Lucky Drops: As players advance through the tiers, they can now enjoy Lucky Drops in the Free Pass.
What changes to expect in the Diamond Pass
Here are some of the changes in a Diamond pass that will be live starting in October:

Final Thoughts
Supercell’s sudden changes have sparked discussions across the Clash Royale community, with many wondering how these updates will impact the game. It seems that Clash Royale is returning to its roots, similar to the original pass system, which only had two tiers: Premium and Free. The introduction of Free, Gold, and Diamond tiers was a move that, to say the least, wasn’t well-received by all players.
By refocusing on a single premium option and enhancing the Free Pass, Supercell aims to streamline choices and provide better value for players. This simplification could set a trend across other Supercell games, like Brawl Stars, which might also revert to a more straightforward system. Instead of juggling Free Pass, Brawl Pass, and Brawl Pass Plus, we could see a return to just Free and Premium tiers, making the experience less complicated for everyone.
