Can You Play Pokemon GO on a Chromebook? Exploring the Possibilities

Last updated
Ever wondered if you could explore the world of Pokemon GO from your Chromebook? With its augmented reality feature that brings Pokemon to life in our real world, it’s an intriguing thought.
Can one actually play Pokemon GO, the game that takes you on real-world adventures, on a Chromebook?
Short Answer: It’s Complicated
At its core, Pokemon GO is a mobile game designed for smartphones, running on Android and iOS. Chromebooks, however, are laptops that run Chrome OS, which is not directly compatible with mobile apps designed for Android or iOS.
However, newer models of Chromebooks support the Google Play Store, allowing users to download and use Android apps. This means, in theory, you could download Pokemon GO on your Chromebook if it supports the Play Store. But, there’s a catch – Pokemon GO relies heavily on GPS and camera functions, which might not work as well on a Chromebook as they do on a smartphone.
