Pokémon UNITE to End Service on March 23, 2027

The Pokémon Company and TiMi Studio Group are winding down the game and offering a downloadable Library so players can preserve selected records before servers go offline.

Overview

  • The companies announced the end-of-service on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, and said online play for Switch and mobile will stop at 00:00 UTC on March 23, 2027.
  • Sales of Aeos Gems and new Unite Club subscriptions were suspended immediately and existing subscriptions will not auto-renew while current benefits remain until each membership expires.
  • A final content update on November 12, 2026 will run a farewell event, add a Unite Coin exchange, and introduce a Library feature that requires a pre-shutdown data download to preserve certain unlocked items and records.
  • The previously scheduled Pokémon UNITE Aeos Crown 2027 competitive run will proceed, with regional qualifiers starting December 5, 2026 and finals in Tokyo just before the shutdown.
  • Official notices differ on whether unused paid currency will be refunded so players should spend or monitor Aeos Gem balances and download Library data before March 23, 2027 because Library files are local, often non-transferable, and will not be supported after service ends.
