At the Apple event today, Niantic CEO John Hanke announced that Pokémon Go will soon be available on the Apple Watch.
He mentioned that Pokémon Go has been downloaded over 500 million times since its launch this summer, and people have walked over 4.6 billion kilometres while playing the game.
Dubbed Pokémon Go Plus, the watch-specific version of the game will launch exclusively on Apple Watches “later this month.”
The Apple Watch app is scheduled for release this year.
