Rating 74/100
Playtime ~367h
Pokémon GO, the augmented-reality mobile game that launched in 2016, remains in active development a decade after its release. The game tasks players with catching, training, and battling Pokémon in real-world locations using their smartphones.
The game is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary with Pokémon GO Fest 2026, a major global event introducing Mega Mewtwo raids and offering all players free access to Special Research encounters with the mythical Pokémon Zeraoria. The festivities include a Times Square celebration, though an exclusive Pokémon given to invited attendees generated community discussion. Developers at Scopely have been sharing reflections on the game's decade-long impact while outlining future plans, including potential improvements to the gym system. Recent updates have also made several rare Pokémon available for free through special events and codes, with activities like "Genetic Mastery" research allowing players to choose between Mega Mewtwo X or Y forms.
