Season 20: Back to Ranger Ranch premiered on September 11 to a warm welcome from Brawl Stars fans. A number of intriguing additions and changes have been made in this most recent season. The six possible game mode slots have been reduced to four, which is one of the most noticeable changes—at least temporarily. This change has undoubtedly agitated the neighbourhood, even though it might not be long-lasting. All the game types and maps in Brawl Stars Season 20: Back to Ranger Ranch will be covered in detail in this extensive guide.

The Reason Behind Slot Reduction and Game Mode Changes

Before we dive into the specifics, it’s crucial to understand why the developers made these adjustments. The reduction in game mode slots and the phasing out of certain game modes were influenced by two key factors:

  • Control Game Mode Popularity: Control mode had been struggling to garner the same level of popularity as other modes, leading to its removal from the rotation.
  • Matchmaking Challenges: Inconsistent matchmaking times plagued high-trophy players due to the scattering of the player base across various game modes. This change aims to streamline matchmaking.

Now, let’s explore what each of the four available slots in Brawl Stars Season 20 has to offer:
