We’re excited to launch Allstar AR, a new Augmented Reality gaming app for iOS built with Unity and Niantic’s Lightship ARDK. Allstar AR delivers a growing collection of immersive AR experiences, starting with AR Basketball — a fast-paced, arcade-style game that brings competitive shooting into real-world environments. This launch marks the beginning of an expanding platform. We’re actively developing shared AR features for local multiplayer experiences, along with plans to introduce social connectivity and in-app purchases in future updates. Allstar AR is built to evolve — bringing more games, more ways to play, and a richer, more connected AR experience to mobile players.
