Add as a preferred source on Google

Hardcore Pokémon Go fanatics can now track their progress and compete with friends via Pokémon Go Profiles, a new site dedicated to archiving the hit mobile game’s global statistics and player rankings.

Pogo Profiles also evaluates player prestige earned through Gym battles, awarding medals to the highest-ranking Pokémon trainers in the world.

After setting up a Pogo Profile and logging in to the site, Pokémon Go players can stay up to date on their collected Pokémon creatures with detailed summaries and IV stats, which are normally hidden from view. The app additionally tracks individual player stats, including Pokéballs thrown, eggs hatched, number of Pokémon caught, and distance traveled in pursuit of nearby creatures.

Comprehensive leaderboards allow players to focus on individual stats, giving them a quick overview of how they rank among the game’s global player base. Leaderboards can be sorted to account for all players, or they can be limited to specific groups, to keep competition close among friends.

Pokémon Go Profiles also displays global stat totals on its front page, making it easy to keep track of the game’s growth around the world. Collectively, Pokémon Go players in all regions have visited over 30 million Pokéstops since the game’s initial launch in July, leading to the capture of more than 23 million Pokémon to date.

Dedicated fans have additionally captured more than 1.3 million Pokémon Gyms since launch. Many players apparently don’t see the value in protecting their captured Gyms with powerful Pokémon, however, as Pokémon Go Profiles reveals that only around 12,000 Gyms have successfully fended off attacks from competing players.

The site notes that Pokémon Go‘s player base has hatched more than 828,000 eggs and evolved collected Pokémon more than 2.3 million times since the game’s inception. Players additionally spent over 52 million Pokéballs and walked a collective total of 1.7 million kilometers in search of the elusive digital creatures worldwide.

Detailed breakdowns regarding team popularity are also starting to trickle in, with Team Mystic currently ranking as the most popular of the bunch with over 7,000 members. Team Valor trails close behind with more than 5,900 members, while Team Instinct takes a distant third with only 4,100 players.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
