Hey dear SquadTracker users,
Sadly, there has been devastating news for Squad Busters. This is the developer of SquadTracker.gg speaking. I’m truly sorry for not addressing this earlier. I honestly needed some time to process everything myself.
I’d like to give you a clear update on the future of the website. With Supercell’s announcement to end the development of Squad Busters, the official API that SquadTracker was built upon has also been taken offline. This means that the site effectively loses its entire foundation and purpose.
What was planned? I had already been working with highest priority on building a custom, independent API to keep SquadTracker alive long-term. If I had managed to finish it sooner, the site could have remained fully functional until the game servers were shut down - but sadly, that didn’t happen in time. Because of this, and as much as it pains me, I will have to discontinue development.
There were many things planned for the future:
- A full wiki and streamer integration features
- A Discord bot to complement the website
- A major eSports section expansion with live streams, tournaments, and dedicated event pages planned for next year
- A public roadmap
- And even weekly community challenges to keep the player base active and rewarded.
What happens now? I will keep the site online and as functional as possible until the official shutdown of Squad Busters. That means I’ll continue tracking the Top 10 global finishers - which you can still view under Leaderboards. Unfortunately, player profiles can no longer be displayed, and even the leaderboards will not work as originally intended. A full backup has already been created.
After the official game servers go offline, I will make the entire website open-source on GitHub, along with a public version of the database (containing no sensitive data). I want the community’s achievements to remain visible and remembered forever.
Finally, I want to take this moment to say thank you - to the amazing Squad Busters team @SquadBustersx, to the wonderful community managers @PaulaBaguena and @AdrianFromSquad, to my supporters and testers, who always wanted the best for SquadTracker and supported me mentally through the tough times, and of course to everyone in the community who shared feedback, ideas, and positivity. You made SquadTracker what it was.
A huge thanks also to the content creators who made videos at launch and helped the platform grow beyond my imagination - @stormi_mobile, @SirClaz_, and @i_psycoo - because of you, the site reached over 1,000 active users daily.
There will be another post once everything has been made public and open source.
With lots of love, great memories, and currently tears in my eyes - yours, Dstn ❤️
P.S.: Once I’ve had some time to emotionally process all this, I’ll share my personal thoughts on my own Twitter account.
