Pokémon GO celebrated its 10th birthday on 6 July 2026 — and Niantic is marking the milestone with a special anniversary broadcast happening today, 9 July. Better yet, Singapore trainers who tune in for just 30 minutes on Twitch can walk away with a stack of free in-game items through Twitch Drops.
What Is the Pokémon GO 10th Anniversary Broadcast?
To mark a decade since Pokémon GO launched and took over parks across Singapore and the world, Niantic is hosting a dedicated broadcast on Twitch.tv/PokemonGO. The stream is billed as a celebration of the game’s 10-year journey — though Niantic has kept the actual content under wraps, with the official Pokémon GO account describing it simply as something you won’t want to miss.
The game has generated over US$9.1 billion in lifetime player spending since 2016, according to AppMagic data as reported by PocketGamer.biz — making it the fifth highest-grossing mobile game ever. Japan alone accounts for roughly 30 per cent of that figure, underscoring just how deeply Pokémon GO is embedded in Asian gaming culture.
When to Watch From Singapore
The broadcast runs from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM SGT on Friday, 10 July 2026 (6:30 PM–9:30 PM EDT on 9 July). Yes, it’s an early start — but if you’re a die-hard trainer, setting that alarm is very much worth it for the free rewards alone.
Four content creators will be going live alongside the main stream:
- Mystic7 (YouTube)
- ExtraEmily (Twitch)
- AwesomeAdamTV (Twitch)
- Landoralpha (TikTok)

GO Fest Global Is This Weekend
The broadcast isn’t the only reason to keep your app updated this week. Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global arrives on 11–12 July and is free for every Trainer worldwide. The headline draws are the global debuts of Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y via Super Mega Raids, plus a Special Research story featuring the Mythical Pokémon Zeraora, rotating themed habitats, and boosted Shiny rates across the board. Singapore trainers with GO Fest habitat passes from earlier in-person events get expanded bonuses — but even without a ticket, this weekend is well worth opening the app for.
Between tonight’s broadcast and GO Fest on the horizon, it’s shaping up to be the biggest Pokémon GO weekend of the year. Set that Friday morning alarm, get your Twitch account linked, and enjoy a decade’s worth of reasons to keep catching.
