![]() The team and I are eager to develop new ways that motivate and reward Trainers for exploring and exercising in the real world. ![]() ![]() We still believe in the importance of discovering interesting places and things in the real world, and we don’t want to lose sight of that. So we want to keep it: as announced last week, 80 meters (not 40 meters) will be the base interaction radius for PokéStops and Gyms globally from now on. We understand that the increased 80 meter interaction distance became a welcome benefit for many players - that is clear from the feedback we saw from the community. Niantic has a lot of room to grow when it comes to communication with our players.The 80 meter interaction radius for PokéStops and Gyms has been an incredibly positive quality of life improvement over the past year and a half.We’ve been listening to player feedback and also set up four roundtable conversations where I spoke with over 30 community leaders from around the world (thank you all for your participation!). To me, it means Pokémon GO is important to many people, and it means Trainers expressed their concerns because they care about the game. It’s been inspiring to see so many players around the world come together as a result of this design. PokéStops and Gyms are one way we try to nudge Trainers to get outside and discover new places, walk an extra kilometer or two, and meet others. Now we want to give you an update as promised. Your passion and concerns have not been lost on us these past few weeks, and our internal task force has spent a lot of time discussing the changes we made to the PokéStop and Gym interaction distances. First, I want to thank you for being patient. ![]()
