Is Pokémon Unite on Xbox?

In a surprise change to the usual line of Pokémon games, The Pokémon Company will now start its foray into the world of MOBAs with Pokémon Unite in July. The game will be developed in collaboration with Chinese conglomerate, Tencent, which has also been the majority stakeholder for Riot Games and its League of Legends game.

Pokémon Unite is currently slated for a July release for the Nintendo Switch, with a mobile version of the game to be released in September of this year.

The game was announced last year as it was supposed to release toward the end of 2020, however, it was pushed back to this year. Initial news of this game was released through a "Pokémon Presents" presentation last year on YouTube, but amassed a lot of dislikes through the website. The first release video and subsequent tweets have been taken down on The Pokémon Company social media platforms.

Due to The Pokémon Company being a Nintendo subsidiary, it's unlikely that Pokémon Unite will be released on other platforms aside from the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. However, there hasn't been any news from the company that would suggest that it's completely off the table. For now, Xbox owners will have to settle and play on their phones or get themselves a Nintendo Switch to experience the new MOBA.
