Niantic, the developers behind Pokémon GO, Pikmin Bloom, and the upcoming Peridot mobile game, announced their upcoming Niantic Community Day for the month of May. This Community Day isn’t specific to any of the games they offer, but Niantic as a whole, and is taking place in various cities around the globe.
Niantic Community Day essentially functions as a big meet-up, where people can connect with fellow Explorers and talk to Niantic Brand Ambassadors. For a short period of time, Explorers can even get free swag from different locations, but only while supplies last.
There are two different types of locations: Orange Niantic Activations, where Explorers can meet up with each other and get swag from Niantic Brand Ambassadors; and Blue Virtual Activations, where Pokémon GO players can spin a PokéStop to receive more rewards. There’s no mention of whether Pikmin Bloom players will get any special rewards for playing on that day, but players should open their games during the event just in case.
Niantic Explorers can enjoy Community Day on May 21, 2022, between 11 am and 2 pm local time, wherever you are.

Beta testers will likely wait until July to get their hands on iOS 16
If all goes according to previous years we can expect Apple to release the first developer beta of iOS 16 on June 6, the same day that it will be announced. That’s the date of the WWDC22 opening keynote but those who are part of the public beta program look set to be waiting a little while longer.
Review: Apex Legends Mobile is almost an entirely different game
Apex Legends Mobile has been in the works for a while, promising players a battle royale experience on the go. While it certainly does deliver on that portable shooter experience, it manages to separate itself from its source — for better or worse.
