After yesterday's launch in Germany, Pokémon Go has started appearing in the UK as well.

We've tested it out, and the game is available on both iOS and Android.

The immensely popular augmented reality game was first launched last week in Australia, New Zealand and the U.S., with the global launch delayed due to overwhelming demand. It will likely be launched in other European markets soon.
