Niantic – the game studio behind Augmented Reality games centred around walking outdoors – is cancelling events, instead offering incentives to keep players gaming without going out.

It cancelled two upcoming Community Day events, an Abra themed day for Pokémon Go and a yet to be confirmed theme for Harry Potter Wizards Unite, that were scheduled for later this month.
