Pokémon Go, the augmented reality game that lets you capture virtual Pokémon in real world locations, has launched on Android and iOS. For now, it’s only available in Japan, Australia, or New Zealand, but a worldwide release is expected within the next few days.
If you’re an Android user, you can download Pokémon Go wherever you are in the world thanks to the APK being uploaded to APK Mirror. As long as you’ve allowed your phone to accept side-loaded apps (to do so, head to the security settings on your device and enable “unknown sources” or similar), you’re good to go.
