"Pokémon GO" fans are speculating that the global beta test will end soon and will quickly be followed by its release. Gamers are expecting that the mobile augmented reality game will arrive by next month.

Game Rant reported that a participant of the "Pokémon GO" beta test shared a screenshot of the final message of the game, where it says "Thank you for field testing 'Pokémon GO!' We will be back soon!" Game fans can't wait for their turn to capture, train, compete and trade virtual Pokémon that appear in a real-world environment.

The game was announced over nine months ago and has had multiple field tests in different regions.

During the Nintendo E3 Treehouse event, game director Shigeru Miyamoto talked about "Pokémon GO." He said that the Pokémon GO Plus device will be ready by July, with a retail price of US$35, LatinTimes stated.

The device is an add-on option for the upcoming game that offers its users a series of blinking lights and vibration when a Pokémon is nearby. Players can attempt to capture a creature via the button on the device and it will show blue for success and red for failure. It is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth.

Miyamoto added that the upcoming AR game needs to be up and running before the game accessory arrives, which to the delight of the fans is a hint that the game will arrive sometime in July as well.

Meanwhile, Android Community mentioned that the Pokémon GO Plus went up for pre-order a few days ago on Amazon but is currently not available. It is not clear if the sheer number of fans getting their accessory overwhelmed the online retailer or it was a mistake in the first place.

"Pokémon GO" will be available for both iOS and Android devices and will be a free-to-play game, though in-app purchases may be required for several items.
