This won’t be the end of content releases for the game, however. Following the end of theFoamstars' season-based content, Square Enix and developer Toylogic are pivoting the game’s future in a number of ways. While there will be no more seasonal content added, players will be able to dive into any past seasonal content they may have missed, with the ability to switch between any season’s progressive rewards at any time. However, not all the seasonal content will instantly become free, as players will still have to pay a fee to access the game’s Premium Pass content.

There will also be changes to challenges, with Limited Time challenges being replaced with Daily and Event challenges, the latter of which will be updated each Saturday.Online versus matches inFoamstarswill continue, though the competitions will be rebranded as the Foamstar Cup Legend League, with each cup being named after one of the game’s characters, rotating once every four weeks. Additionally, Extreme Party events will continue to be held every Saturday from 10 p.m. to 9:59 a.m. EST, rotating between Super Duel Party, Pitchside Homerun Party, One-Shot Chill Party, and Invisible Party.

Foamstars End of Seasonal Content Notes

Thank you for playing FOAMSTARS.

Following the “PARTY GOES ON!” season taking place from July 04, 2025 (Friday) to July 21, 2025 (Friday), season updates for FOAMSTARS will be coming to an end.

In this concluding update, expansions will be introduced to enhance gameplay, such as the ability to customize shots of each character, and new enhancement elements, such as Prism Gems, all aimed at ensuring players can continue to enjoy the game for the foreseeable future.

All online services will remain available after the “PARTY GOES ON!” season ends. In addition, we plan to hold the FOAMSTARS CUP, a series of in-game events named after each character.

Furthermore, to ensure that new players can fully enjoy FOAMSTARS, previous Season Passes will be made available again. Players can switch between Season Passes at any time to proceed along the Season Pass track of your choice and obtain items from past seasons. This will make it possible for players to obtain all the items from each season.

Please see below for details on the main changes to the content of FOAMSTARS beyond June 11, 2025 (Friday), 01:00 UTC. *Some content subject to future adjustments.

■Season Pass

Players can select any season pass they wish to advance from past seasons' passes and they are free to switch to other season passes at any time.

As with past seasons, the basic Season Pass is free and the Premium Pass is paid. In addition, you’re able to now also purchase specific Tiers within a Season Pass from the “Season Pass” screen to unlock the corresponding rewards along that track.

*Party Popper: Bubbles, which was available through Premium Passes in past seasons, will become an item available through the standard Season Pass, following the end of sales of various Party Poppers.

■EXTREME PARTY

EXTREME PARTIES will take place every Saturday 03:00-14:59 (UTC) in the following cycle. The status of whether an EXTREME PARTY is “upcoming” or “currently ongoing” will be announced in-game.

*“Super Duel Party!” “Pitchside Homerun Party!” “One-Shot Chill Party!” and “Invisible Party!” will be held in rotation.

■RANKED PARTY

“RANKED PARTY TRIBE-VIBE" and “RANKED PARTY LONESTAR” will be renewed as “FOAMSTARS CUP”.

RANKED PARTY TRIBE-VIBE" will become “FOAMSTARS CUP FREEDOM LEAGUE” and “RANKED PARTY LONESTAR” will become “FOAMSTARS CUP LEGEND LEAGUE”. Each FOAMSTARS CUP is named after a specific Foamstar and will rotate every four weeks.

Rewards include icons and other items based on each FOAMSTAR, so please join in!

In addition, based on the player feedback we have received, both events will continue to take place on a daily basis. The “FOAMSTARS CUP FREEDOM LEAGUE” will be in a format that allows for easy group participation with friends at any time, whereas the “FOAMSTARS CUP LEGEND LEAGUE” is designed to allow players who are recognized for their abilities to enjoy more competitive matches with each other.

Please check back for more information and updates to be released at a later date.

The current “Limited Time” challenges will change to “Event” challenges and be further divided into the following categories:
