Grab your gear, your friends, a good pair of shoes and some water. This afternoon, Niantic released details of the Pokémon GO update we talked about a few days ago, which officially went live today. Below is the information the company released a couple hours ago about the updates to the iOS and Android apps, now unlocking all the new features of the game. This includes the giant raid feature where you and 20 others can take over a gym as a team.

If you haven't already made plans with your fellow team members to go out on a raid, now might be a good time to update your app and text everyone you know for a night on the town trying to conquer them all.
