## Key points

- Pokémon Unite shuts down on 23 March 2027.
- Its Library lets players view items and achievements.
- Players must access it before shutdown to save data.

## Summary

Pokémon Unite will close its online service on 23 March 2027, ending the free-to-play MOBA after nearly six years. A new Library feature will let players revisit some of their progress afterwards, offering a limited record of items and achievements rather than removing access to everything.

A special event runs until the shutdown, and the Library becomes available on 12 November. Players must open it before service ends so it can save their data; that data is stored locally, may not transfer to a new device and may be unrecoverable if lost. Launched in 2021 on Switch and later mobile, the game has already been withdrawn in some European countries over concerns about loot boxes.
