A '''geolocation-based video game''', (or '''___location-based video game''') is a type of video game where the [[gameplay]] evolves and progresses via a player's ___location in the world, often attained using [[GPS]]. Most ___location-based video games are [[mobile games]] that make use of the mobile phone's built in GPS capability. One of the most recognizable ___location-based mobile games is [[Pokémon Go]].

Location-based (GPS) games are often conflated with [[augmented reality]] (AR) games. GPS and AR are two separate technologies which are sometimes both used in a game, like in [[Pokémon Go]] and [[Minecraft Earth]]. GPS and AR functionality largely do not depend on one another but are often used in concert. A video game may be an AR game, a ___location-based game, both, or bothneither.
