Pokemon Go update will keep players coming back with fresh daily bonuses

While Pokemon Go hit the scene with a big bang when it initially launched, it has been struggling to retain its user base since then – and now creator Niantic is working on a fresh update that will give players new incentive to keep coming back.

In a blog post, the creator of the smash-hit augmented reality game announced plans to introduce a new daily bonus feature that will reward returning players with extra points.

Here’s how Niantic described the upcoming update:

Trainers will soon be able to receive a bonus for certain daily activities, including catching a Pokémon or visiting a Pokestop once a day. You’ll earn a larger bonus if you do this seven days in a row!

While catching a Pokemon every day will earn you a bonus of 500 XP and 600 Stardust, visiting a Pokestop every day for seven days straight will entitle you to a 2,000 XP bonus as well as a bunch of additional in-game items.

Niantic has recently introduced a slew of new features in an effort to lure new trainers and keep its most loyal players entertained. The game-maker also hosted a special in-game event on Halloween that turned out to be a huge success.

There’s no word on when the update will roll out, but chances are it’ll come sooner rather than later.
