The Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game Live <\/em>beta is officially available to players around the globe today more than a year after it was initially announced.\u00a0<\/p>
The Pok\u00e9mon Company has been testing TCG Live <\/em>in various location-specific betas since early 2022 in limited capacities and has slowly expanded to grow its testing base. As of October, the beta was available in 11 countries and the developers behind the game noted that a global release for the test in November was in the works after a year of delays. <\/p>
Now, players around the world have access to the newest Pok\u00e9mon TCG <\/em>platform on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Windows devices, and Mac OS. <\/p>
This will be the first time many players will have access to the TCG Live <\/em>client and get to test it out in comparison to the dated TCG Online <\/em>that players have been using for close to a decade in some capacity. But for anyone who is looking to make the jump to this new platform, there are some things you should know.\u00a0<\/p>
With TCG Live<\/em>, TPC does plan to eventually sunset TCGO <\/em>entirely<\/a> once the newer platform goes live. This will include all servers being shut down and it will be completely unusable\u2014though that won\u2019t happen until TCG Live <\/em>launches in full following the beta.<\/p>
