Pokémon UNITE EOS — Service Ends March 23, 2027

Officially announced October 27, 2026: Pokémon UNITE shuts down on Tuesday, March 23, 2027 at 00:00 UTC — both the Nintendo Switch and mobile versions. Here's the full timeline, the refund situation, and what to do before the end.

ⓘ

Short version: the game still runs normally for ~5 more months. Aeos gem sales already stopped; existing gems work until the end. Do the library data download before March 23 if you want to keep your records after shutdown — and don't uninstall before the gem refund process finishes.

What to do before March

  1. 1
    Spend your Aeos gems

    Gem sales are already off and anything left becomes unusable at 00:00 UTC on March 23 — there's no reason to hold them.

  2. 2
    Wait for refund details if you have paid gems

    Refunds are planned for unused paid gems — the form and procedure come later via the official site and an in-game notice. Don't uninstall the game before your refund completes — the support note says account verification happens inside the app.

  3. 3
    Complete the library data download

    The Library lets you view battle records, licenses and holowear after shutdown — but only if you finish the download before EOS. Items earned later are added automatically; data can't transfer between devices.

  4. 4
    Enjoy the farewell event

    From November 12 the special event opens up past licenses and holowear — the last few months are designed as a send-off, so the rare stuff you've been chasing is likely to be up for grabs.

Streamer/content note: after EOS, the game's content guidelines for online platforms stop being maintained — expect the usual gray zone around archived footage, worth knowing if your channel has UNITE content.

FAQ

What does "EOS" mean for Pokémon UNITE?

End of Service — the full shutdown. After March 23, 2027 at 00:00 UTC you can no longer log in or battle; only the read-only Library remains for players who downloaded it.

Can I still play until March 2027?

Yes — the game stays fully playable until the shutdown moment, including the November thank-you event with past licenses and holowear.

Will I get my money back?

A refund is planned for unused paid Aeos gems. Details and the application form will be posted on the official site and in-game — keep the app installed until it's done.

What about the Aeos Crown 2027 tournament?

Still on — qualifiers start December 5, 2026 in Tokyo. It's the game's competitive finale.

Does my UNITE Membership still work?

New sign-ups and auto-renew ended October 27. If you're already subscribed, benefits run until your current term expires.
