New Pokémon TCG App to Replace Pokémon TCG Online

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Online Will Be Ending Soon

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Online (PTCGO) will be sunsetting on June 5, 2023, at 9 AM PDT. This means that the servers will be shut down and the game will no longer be available for download through the various PC, Android, and Apple app stores.

However, players of PTCGO will be able to migrate their accounts from the old app to the new one, even after the servers close on June 5th.
