Alongside the NBA and the NBPA, Niantic officially debuted its free-to-play augmented reality basketball game, "NBA All-World.
" Like Pokémon Go, the smartphone-based game relies on players moving around their surroundings to discover objects and abilities, build a better team, and battle nearby players.
- Many discoverable objects, abilities, and games occur at nearby locales, particularly neighborhood basketball courts, sneaker stores, banks, NBA venues, and more.
- The game was first soft-launched in Singapore, Canada, Australia, and the Philippines before debuting worldwide via the Apple App Store and Google Play.
- Niantic partnered with HypGames to develop the title, which took four years to complete.
