Pokemon GO Developer's Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Shutting Down

Pokemon GO was such a massive hit that it encouraged many people to go outside but also caused a lot of calamity with trespassing and in some cases serious injury. The game is still massive and the developer Niantic attempting to capture that same popularity with a Harry Potter version that simply did not take off. With Harry Potter: Wizards support ending January 31st, 2022.

Leading up to the end Niantic is adding some increased bonuses:
