Overview
- The Pokémon Company and TiMi Studio Group announced on Tuesday, October 27, 2026 that service for Pokémon UNITE will end at 00:00 UTC on March 23, 2027 and players will not be able to log in or play after that time.
- Immediate changes began the day of the announcement: sales of Aeos Gems and new UNITE Club purchases were suspended while existing gem balances and active memberships remain usable until the service cutoff.
- A final content update and special in‑game event launches on November 12, 2026 and will add a Unite Coin exchange, time‑limited missions and a Library feature that lets players download archived records and cosmetics for offline viewing after shutdown.
- Players must complete the Library’s required asset download before March 23, 2027 to retain post‑service access to stored records, and developers warn that Library data generally cannot be transferred between devices and will not be supported after the servers close.
- Regional qualifiers for the Aeos Crown 2027 begin December 5, 2026 and the Tokyo finals will proceed as announced, giving the competitive scene a final tournament before the game’s servers go offline.
