Pok\u00e9mon GO players were hit by a widespread outage after many users reported seeing \u201cNetwork Error 2\u201d while trying to launch or log in to the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issue drew thousands of complaints on Friday evening in the United States, with outage tracker Downdetector showing a sharp rise in reports tied to game launch, login, and server connection problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outage appeared to grow quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mint reported that Downdetector showed more than 20,000 user reports around 3:27 p.m. PT, rising to more than 53,000 by 4:13 p.m. PT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hindustan Times also reported that many players were seeing \u201cNetwork Error 2,\u201d a connection-related issue that can prevent users from opening the app, logging in, or staying connected to Pok\u00e9mon GO servers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most reported problems were tied to launching the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Downdetector\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon GO status page later showed no current problems, but its 24-hour breakdown still listed game launch, login, and server connection as the main issues reported by users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scopely Explore Support acknowledged the problem on X, saying it was investigating an issue affecting Pok\u00e9mon GO gameplay. A later update said the issue had been resolved and apologized for the inconvenience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outage sparked immediate reactions from players on X, Reddit, and Facebook, with some users asking whether the problem was tied to their device or account before reports showed the issue was more widespread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
