Watch 8 minutes of Pokémon Go’s augmented reality gameplay in action

Pokémon Go has launched in a closed beta in Australia and New Zealand, and that means we are getting our first look at real gameplay.

YouTube user Game Previews uploaded an 8-minute clip of the augmented reality smartphone game Pokémon Go, and it shows how you can walk around in the real world and capture hidden pocket monsters. The Pokémon Company International is working with developer Niantic on this game that uses your phones GPS device to track you as you chase down monsters hiding in public places like a park or hiking trail. Unlike traditional Pokémon games, Go isn’t about battling. Instead, the key mechanics here are collecting and capturing creatures.
