Pokémon GO will start, on Tuesday (1), to the Pass GO test phase, a system that promises to renew the way players receive rewards in the game. Available until May 6 for a part of the user base in selected countries, including Brazil, the feature offers free and paid versions.
- Nintendo Switch 2 games should be divided into three phases
- GTA 6 marketing will be postponed to keep Hype near the premiere
The goal is to stimulate progression within the game with additional awards for those who engage in weekly missions and accumulate GO points. The free version of Pass GO is accessible to all selected players for the test. It guarantees classic rewards such as star dust, pokes, sweets and experience points.
Pass Go Deluxe, a paid model of functionality, offers more valuable awards and extra chances of fast progress. At any time during the test period, the player will be able to upgrade to the Deluxe version and expand its benefits within the game.
Deluxe version includes rare Pokémon and unpublished items like the lucky globe
Among the exclusive highlights of Pass Go Deluxe is the return of Globo da Lucky, item that allows a guaranteed lucky exchange between players - functionality that had debuted at the Pokémon Go Tour: Unova event.
In addition, the paid model includes GG sweets, incense, incubators and a variety of useful items that increase the efficiency of coaches' daily actions. Finally, special rare Pokémon meetings, such as Xerneas, are also among the attractions promised by the developer. With each completed mission and milestone, users release additional advantages.
If you want to vary even more, I can suggest other transitions!
- At level 1, the player receives twice the time of use of daily adventure incense.
- At level 2, research rewards - such as experience points and star dust - become higher.
- At level 3, this increase also extends to the activity of shocking eggs. Players can redeem all items won by May 8, at 10am (Brasília time).
New functionality reinforces Niantic's strategy to keep the game up to date
The launch of Pass GO reinforces Niantic's strategy to keep Pokémon GO constantly evolving. Since its release, the game has been based on the integration between augmented reality and outdoor physical activities, promoting weekly challenges and large global events.
The company bets on interactivity as a central pillar of its games, such as other brand titles, including Ingress and Pikmin Bloom. Thus, the initiative also strengthens The Pokémon Company's performance outside Asia.
Responsible for brand management in the West, the Japanese company continues to expand its presence through products such as the popular Trading Card Game, the animation series and mobile games. With over two decades of history, Pokémon remains one of the greatest cultural phenomena of global entertainment.
To accompany the news of Pass GO and future events of Pokémon GO, players can access the game's official blog or follow Niantic on social networks. The Pokémon GO team regularly updates the information through the game's social networks.
