Pokemon Go Servers Down Right Now

Pokemon Go's servers appear to be down, effectively preventing the game from being played. Numerous reports are streaming in on places like Reddit and Twitter, and while the particular problems vary, the end result is the same.

Some players have posted screenshots showing that their GPS signal can't be found, while others simply see nothing on the in-game map. In general, game elements aren't loading properly.

As of yet, there's no official word from the Pokemon Go Twitter account or Niantic Help support account, but we'll report back when we learn more.

Perhaps coincidentally, today also saw the launch of the new remote raid passes feature, which allows players to participate in raids from further away. It's one of several measures that Niantic has taken to ensure the game is playable while players are social distancing.
