▲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]].

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|''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 neither.
