Pokemon Go is Live in the United Kingdom

Pokemon Go's global rollout continues as the popular mobile app is now available in the UK. Niantic Labs released the app for the Apple App and Google Play store a day after releasing the game in Germany. Presumably, additional European countries will follow in the coming days.

Pokemon Go is currently the hottest app in the United States, topping both Google Play and Apple App Store's Top Grossing charts. As Nintendo's stock soars because of the game, everyone from the National Park Service to the US Marines to local businesses have jumped on the Pokemon Go bandwagon.

Pokemon Go was first released in Australia last week and was released in the United States a day later. Niantic's plan for a global release was delayed due to frequent server crashes caused by the game's overwhelming popularity. Niantic seemed to get control of the server crashes over the weekend, although the game still gets slow during peak hours. In addition to most of Europe, the game is also not available in Japan, where the Pokemon franchise remains popular.

Pokemon Go is free to play and is available in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and the United Kingdom.
