Pokémon Go gets a location-based chat app from Razer

Pokémon Go is bringing people together in the real world like no video game ever before, but another company is stepping in to combine online chatting with these physical meetups.

RazerGo is a new app from Razer that enables location-based chatting using your GPS on iOS and Android. It will launch today on the Apple App Store and Google Play market. The company is positioning this as a companion to Pokémon Go so that players can find others in their town playing the game. Pokémon Go is an app that uses Google Maps data to empower players to catch virtual pocket monsters around their towns. This has led to people swarming parks and other points of interest in search of the digital creatures. But now, with the help of RazerGo, players can plan a meetup with strangers or acquaintances before leaving their homes. Pokémon Go is the top-grossing app in the $36.9 billion mobile-gaming industry, and it has already helped fuel the growth of apps like Fake GPS Location, which is the No. 2 top paid Android app in the U.S. right now.
