Pokemon UNITE Shuts Down Service March 23

The Pokemon Company and TiMi Studio Group announced that the free-to-play multiplayer game Pokemon UNITE will end service on Tuesday, March 23, 2027. The shutdown affects both Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms after over five years of operation since its July 2021 launch. Prior to closure, players can earn Unite Coins through a special event starting November 12 for cosmetic items. After the deadline, online matches will be unavailable, though users may access practice mode and view their saved play stats via a new library feature.
