Pokémon Unite players can keep a record, with caveats
The Library opens November 12 and preserves earned Holowear, cosmetics, Pokémon and achievements, but its data generally cannot be transferred between devices.
Pokémon Unite's five-on-five battles are getting a limited afterlife: its new Library will let players revisit earned items and achievements after the game shuts down. The Pokémon Company has announced that service will end. Until then, a special event adds content to the free-to-play MOBA as a farewell.
Pokémon Unite service will end on March 23, 2027, at 00:00 UTC.
The Library opens on November 12. After service ends, it lets players access the Practice Area to view earned Holowear, other cosmetics, Pokémon and achievements.
There is a catch in the timing. Players must use the Library before service ends so it can obtain the data needed to display their achievements.
A keepsake with conditions
Library data generally cannot be transferred when changing devices. If the game or its Library data is deleted or otherwise lost after service ends, it may not be recoverable. Support for the Library feature will not be available after service ends.
