Pokemon TCG Live Global Launch Set for June 2023
We finally have a release date for the heavily anticipated Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) Live, and it’s all set to launch cross-platform on PC, Android, and iOS devices on the same day. The global release for the upcoming title will be preceded by the Pokemon TCG Online app getting removed from the App Store, Google Play, and Pokemon.com on June 5, 2023, when the closed beta of the title comes to an end.
Pokemon TCG Live Global Release Date
As confirmed in an official Pokémon blog post, Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) Live will see its global launch on June 8, 2023, at 10 a.m. PDT. The launch date of the game coincides perfectly with the Pokemon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldea Evolved expansion, which arrives on June 9th. The expansion will feature over 190 cards and 15 brand-new Pokémon for players to collect.
