Pokémon Unite to shut down in March 2027

Pokémon Unite, a free-to-play five-on-five battle arena game, will cease operations on March 23, 2027. The game, developed by Tencent's TiMi Studio Group, launched on Nintendo Switch in July 2021 and later on mobile platforms, supporting cross-platform play. Prior to its shutdown, a final update will introduce a "Library" feature allowing players to view certain in-game items after the service ends, provided they download the data before the shutdown date.
