Pokémon Go has become available in the German App Store this morning as the ultra-popular game begins its much-anticipated rollout in Europe and elsewhere.

With the smash hit's release last week initially limited to the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand, iOS users in other countries have been left waiting for the game to become available in regional App Stores around the world.

According to a Monday report in The Wall Street Journal, Pokémon Go was set to launch in Europe and Asia "within a few days", with the delay thought to be necessary as developers Niantic attempt to deal with the crippling overload of its servers due to the game's unparalleled popularity.

That surge has reportedly caused issues for some users already playing the game, while many of those still waiting have been duped into downloading and installing fake versions.

We'll update this article if and when Pokémon Go appears in other App Stores around the world today.

Woohooo Congrats!! Sweden needs some Pokemon love too so hopefully they'll release it soon!! :D
 
My kids have finally been outside again. My daughter of 17 came home after midnight yesterday because she 'had to' catch Pokemons. 'Normally' she would have been lying in bed awake till too late exchanging mobile 'nonsense' with friends.

Undecided yet if this is a good thing or not :)

people are going to be pretty frustrated then, I got it from the American appstore like quite a few others by the looks of it, all the gyms in my area have pretty high level pokemon already sitting in them.

So you are frustrated because you just started playing and want to beat people better than you? Such a sad mindset.

I circumvented the system with my old US Account to play here. Im sure it will appear this week, now that they've ironed out some of the issues.

I thought about doing that, but I don't wanna make another iTunes account just to play Pokemon Go. :(

This is by far the most popular app in the US - it's the fastest growing app EVER and is currently being used more than Facebook in the US. That's HUGE. I think it's right for Macrumors to report on this - there are a lot of people around the world very excited to get this game.

I also think that MR should report on app, but maybe not front page. Where ever I go, it seems like I hear someone talk about it.

But, I doubt we would see every related news story to the app on the front page if it was not a slow news week.

What amazes me is the number of adults walking around with their faces glued to their phones. I find it all a bit sad.

In the meantime, I'll return to my real life and enjoy time with my wife, dogs, friends, and probably go for a cycle too....

It's a great upgrade from sitting on sofa glued to a TV or just sitting in front of PC all day.
