Niantic has launched a new referral program for Pokemon Go, hoping to lure more players back to the augmented reality game. Existing players can share a referral code with a friend who has never played Pokemon Go, or who hasn’t logged into their account in over 90 days, with both players receiving rewards in the process.
The referral system is progress-based, meaning the person being referred back to the game will have to complete certain milestones in order for both players to continue earning rewards. Potential rewards include Pokémon encounters, Rare Candy, Incubators, and more.
While Pokemon Go’s revenue is quite healthy, with 2020 seeing the game take in over $1 billion, player numbers peaked in the first few months of the game, and have fallen further in the last year or so according to estimates.
In order to use the referral program, existing players can generate a referral code by tapping “Invite” on the Friends screen. The new player then inputs that code either during the sign-up process or on their own Friends screen if they already have an inactive account.
A number of other new events are happening in April alongside the launch of the referral program. April will see a new spring-themed event, raids for Tornadus, Thundurus, And Landorus, and a new Community Day featuring Snivy. Check out everything coming to Pokemon Go in April here.
As fun as it is, there’s something rather…disturbing…about Screamride. A game about racing rollercoaster cars down rails at tremendous speeds and smashing them into concrete skyscrapers isn’t to be taken seriously, of course, and I’m not terribly concerned about the riders, who seem beyond thrilled for the chance to sacrifice their well-being for the chance to fling themselves into solid objects. My worry lies with the pedestrians walking around out there. There are promenades to stroll on among the office buildings and laboratories. What right-minded individual would think to hang out there–or to work there?
Well. This isn’t the kind of thing you’re supposed to be thinking when you play Screamride, which sets itself apart from the developer’s own Rollercoa…
It has always been a dog-eat-dog world out there. But when humanity disappears and animals are left to fend for themselves, the streets of Tokyo become a far more savage place, where former house pets must learn to hunt and kill much larger, more deadly animals to survive. The concept may sound grim, but Tokyo Jungle brings enough humor to its vision of the post-human streets of Shibuya to make the whole scenario pleasantly silly. That humor only goes so far, though; repetitive gameplay and frustrating difficulty issues make Tokyo Jungle an underwhelming glimpse at the future of the animal kingdom.
Picking the best starter in Palworld is a more complicated, but perhaps rewarding, process than it is in other creature-collectors. It’s a game that combines elements of Pokemon, Breath of the Wild, and even survival-crafting games like Minecraft. It’s trying to do a lot all at once, meaning even players familiar with one of those games might be thrown off by the way Palworld subverts expectations using other genres. Here we’ll explain what you can expect when going to pick your starter Pal in Palworld, which, by the way, finally came to PS5 in September of 2024.

Reno may be getting a ground-up hotel-casino. This is significant because it would be the first one to be built here in decades.
