Which three markets received Pokémon GO on its first release day?

Pokémon GO first launched in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States on July 6, 2016.

The mobile augmented-reality game was developed and published by Niantic in partnership with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. It uses GPS and mobile-device cameras to place Pokémon in real-world locations, allowing players to find, catch, train, and battle them.

The initial rollout was deliberately staggered rather than worldwide. Australia, New Zealand, and the United States received the game first, while other countries followed over the next several weeks. Japan received Pokémon GO on July 22, 2016, and the United Kingdom received it on July 14.

The staggered launch is often remembered as a single global release because the game became an international cultural event almost immediately. However, the release table distinguishes the first three markets from later European, Asian, and Latin American launches.
