Ever since the augmented reality mobile game Pokemon Go has launched, it has become a phenomenon. Although the game is currently available in US, Australia and New Zealand, the release for the other nations has been halted due to an ongoing server glitch.
In a statement to Business Insider, Niantic, a spinoff of Google parent Alphabet, that co-created “Pokemon-Go” with Nintendo and The Pokemon Company said that the team is aware of the problem and is working hard to fix it.
In addition, Niantic’s CEO John Hanke stated, ‘While they fix the server capacity, international roll out of the game to other countries is paused until the company is comfortable.’
