Pokémon Go 2024 Halloween event off to a frightening start as players report crashes, disappearing map
Pokémon Go’s 2024 Halloween event decked its map out with spooky fall decor. But only a day after the game’s update, the map reverted to its original setting, leaving many to wonder where the festivities went. It seems as though Niantic has an answer—and luckily, the change is only temporary.
Niantic revealed today in a Help Center post that Pokémon Go’s Halloween visuals, which decorated the environmental map with orange leaves and pumpkins, had been removed because of crashes. “This feature has been temporarily disabled while we investigate,” the developer wrote. “This should not otherwise impact gameplay and is a visual change only.”
