I’m excited for what the team is planning for Pokémon GO Fest. While we’ll miss being together in person with the community, we now have the opportunity to make it global in a big way. More soon.
"Conclusions: Pokémon GO transcended traditional understanding of digital health and uniquely reached across generations to engage users. Findings from this study highlight that, for a period of time, Pokémon GO fostered social and physical well-being for children and families."
George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Nina Pop & countless other members of the Black community have been killed. It must end. Here’s how we’re committed to change.

Niantic officially turns five today. It’s amazing to look back on the journey that brought us here as we look forward to where we’re going. It began with a map and it remains our focus as we move toward a world transformed by AR.

Michael T. Jones was a collaborator, mentor, friend, and source of inspiration. He passed away today after a difficult struggle with cancer. Explorers everywhere owe him a debt. The world would not be what it is today without him and he will be missed.

Very excited about the next chapter for
@nianticlabs
. What it will look like to be able to get back out there with our communities again. Connecting safely in person means a world of opportunities will be open again.
It’s awesome to see more than 1 million Trainers will be participating in Pokémon GO Fest this year. Very cool that this can be a shared global experience. Looking forward to seeing fellow Trainers in-game July 25-26!

Olá, Treinadores! Aproveitamos essa linda tarde de hoje para celebrar o Dia Comunitário do Pokémon GO aqui no Parque Ibirapuera, em São Paulo. Adoramos conhecer vocês e estamos ansiosos para fazer mais!
You’re not going to want to miss this! On May 24th, we’re launching Lightship VPS—aka the ✨ holy grail of AR ✨—and we want you there. Join us at the
#LightshipSummit
to see it in action or register now to watch the opening keynote virtually.
@LightshipAR
If you follow me you know I am a huge fan of regular outdoor walks. It's an important topic as we continue to battle this pandemic. I shared some thoughts on the topic as we look forward to the weekend and the months ahead.

Big update for Pokémon GO. You can now access Raid Battles from home. You and up to twenty trainers can raid together anywhere you see on the Nearby screen.
#PokemonGO
#Pokemon
The ability to join any Raid Battle you can see on the Nearby screen or that you can tap on the map is now live for Level 5 Trainers and above! These Trainers can use a Remote Raid Pass to do so.
Respect and gratitude today for all those who served. My dad served (in Korea) but didn't glamorize it. He told me about wearing every article of clothing he possessed to ward off the cold and how much he wanted to come back to Texas.
#veteransday2019
Thank you to every single Trainer who joined us in exploring the world in search of Pokémon! We’re glad to have made some amazing friends and memories along the way. Here’s to you, Trainers! Happy
#PokemonGO5YearAnniversary

I shared some thoughts on the Metaverse with our view that technology should be in service to us, as human beings, and not the other way around. The AR future that we imagine is designed to enhance our connection to the world around us and to one another.
Excited by what’s ahead - investing in our current games, adding new games and apps, and building out the Real World Metaverse with the Lightship Platform.
#Ingress
came to life at
#EpiphanyNight2018
. 13 camps. 13 epic works of interactive art. Massive creativity shown by Agents. Thank you all for a great weekend!
This is gong to be fun. We already know that lots of folks play our games while traveling (and even travel in order to play our games). So much more we can do here!
We’re happy to announce that we’ll be partnering with
@UNWTO
to enhance its Travel.Enjoy.Respect program and encourage global tourism and worldwide civic engagement in fun, friendly, and novel ways for travelers.
At the very top of our list of core values at Niantic is "Start with a worthy goal." Doing everything we can to to influence the direction of AR and spatial computing to build a better future in the real world for all of us feels like a good one to us.

I'm thrilled to share that my fellow Niantic (and former Google and Keyhole colleague) Michael Jones has been awarded a Royal Medal from her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Geographic Society for his work on mapping the world. Well done.
