Pokemon Unite to Be Taken Offline in 2027, In-Game Sales Suspended Immediately
Pokémon Unite will close on Nintendo Switch and mobile on 23 March 2027, ending service after its final competition in Tokyo. The shutdown means online matches will no longer be available, while sales of Aeos Gems and new Unite Club memberships, including renewals, have stopped immediately.
The Aeos Crown 2027 competition is scheduled for 21 March, and the game’s final update is due in November with an event offering Unite licences, Holowear and other items. After closure, players can view some records and content and play practice rounds by downloading the required library data before 00:00 UTC on 23 March 2027. The game launched on Switch in July 2021 and on Android and iOS in September that year.
In short
- Pokémon Unite closes on 23 March 2027.
- Aeos Gem sales and new memberships have ended immediately.
- Download library data before closure to keep access to selected records.
Explained simply
Pokémon Unite is a free-to-play team game in which players control Pokémon and compete in online matches. It launched on Nintendo Switch in 2021, followed by Android and iOS, and has included optional purchases such as Aeos Gems and Unite Club memberships.
The game is part of the wider Pokémon franchise, owned by The Pokémon Company, and is developed with TiMi Studio Group. Its online service supports matches and organised competition, so ending that service affects how players can use the game, even if some saved records and content remain available.
