Pokémon GO rollout on hold due to server issues

Last wednesday Nintendo, The Pokémon Company and Niantic released the highly anticipated mobile game Pokémon GO. The game was first released in Australia, New Zealand and United States. Unfortunately, already the servers cannot handle the data traffic. As a result, the game's international roll-out has been paused, which means a delay for countries such as the UK and The Netherlands, says John Hanke, CEO of Niantic. They are working hard to tackle the server issues, but a release date for UK has not yet been given.
Next to server issues, the game has some more issues including location inaccuracy, battery drain and distorted audio.
Pokémon GO will release on iOS and Android. The game lets you catch Pokémon, breed eggs and occupy gyms in the real world, using a combination of GPS location and Augmented Reality.
