Two years after its worldwide release, Pokémon GO is now available for download in Russia. App Store and Google Play users have reported this, although there have been no official announcements from Niantic, the developer of the game.

In 2016 Pokémon GO became the most popular and talked-about game in the world, spending 74 days as the mobile game with the highest revenue. The game made its creators about a billion dollars during its first six months.

According to certain sources there were plans to release Pokémon GO in Russia back in the summer of 2016, but the launch was delayed due to server problems.
