After more than a year of gameplay bonuses designed to make Pokémon Go easier to play during the pandemic, developer Niantic has laid out a detailed roadmap for how it will remove, replace and adopt these changes in the future.
Some changes will be made permanent, though others – most notably the ability to interact with PokéStops and gyms at an increased distance – will be removed.
But changes will be made on a country-by-country basis, Niantic has said, and in the short term there will be new temporary “exploration bonuses” for countries which lose the pandemic changes soon.
