The Ingress team has announced an upcoming price increase for Key Lockers in the store.

On Wednesday, August 27, 2025, at 00:00 UTC, the price for a single Key Locker will be raised from 3700 CMU to 20.000 CMU (~15โ‚ฌ/~$13).

This decision was "not made lightly" and will be implemented to ensure that Ingress will stay sustainable in the long run without resorting to pay-to-win.

If you have already bought Key Lockers there will be no change to them, and the currently existing limit of 6 Key Lockers per account will remain unchanged. Should you not have 6 Key Lockers yet we encourage you to buy the rest of the Key Lockers before the increase in price.

The team recognises that inventory management is "a constant challenge" for many and is exploring more ways to offer inventory expansion features.

The Ingress team has updated a few things about the +Delta Campaign: Field!

The base value for creating a field has been doubled from 50 +Delta Field Points to 100 Points. According to the Ingress team that means that a single, well planned field can earn you up to 780 +Delta Field Points. This change was made to encourage working together with your faction and to bridge the gap between creating and destroying Fields, which is worth 250 points. The team also mentioned that destroying your own factions field does not count and will not earn you any points.

The Bounties for the first assignment have been posted as well:

- Earn 3,000 +Delta Field Points
- Earn 5,000 +Delta Field Points
- Create 12 Control Fields
- Create 20 Control Fields
- Destroy 8 Control Fields
- Destroy 12 Control Fields
- Claim 4 Kinetic Programs

Assuming the same 25% increase of the base value of the initial Assignment, we can speculate the requirements for the restarts as well:

- Earn 3,750/4,500/5,250/6000 +Delta Field Points
- Earn 6,250/7,500/8,750/10,000 +Delta Field Points
- Create 15/18/21/24 Control Fields
- Create 25/30/35/40 Control Fields
- Destroy 10/12/14/16 Control Fields
- Destroy 15/18/21/24 Control Fields
- Claim 5/6/7/8 Kinetic Programs

Note that these values are not confirmed and are just speculation based on the prior +Delta Campaign: Reso event!

The Ingress team is making changes to the daily free items in the store!

The free items will rotate each day to offer a different free item. This rotation will be on the following schedule starting next week:

- Sunday UTC: 1x high-level Resonator
- Monday UTC: 2x mid-level PowerCubes
- Tuesday UTC: 1x Common Shield
- Wednesday UTC: 2x mid-level Resonators
- Thursday UTC: 1x Common Heatsink
- Friday UTC: 1x high-level XMP Bursters
- Saturday UTC: 1x Common Multi-Hack

The current free items for C.O.R.E. subscribers (monthly Kinetic Capsule) and Agents that have Recursed 5 times (weekly Hypercube) are not affected.

The team sees this change as an experiment and will be analysing the data from Agents and how they use these items.

Heads up to all Agents that have used Niantic Supply in the past:

Players are reporting that they are getting hit with spam and phishing emails via the email address they have entered during an order from the Niantic Supply store, seemingly indicating that some sort of data has been leaked to 3rd-party actors. Please be aware, keep an eye out and do not open any links or call any numbers from unknown email addresses.

In the specific example above, the Agent has used an email alias, which means that the specific email was used only for Niantic Supply, and has placed a subscription order during the Ingress X Series Kit releases.

The IITC-CE Mobile app has returned to the Play Store!

On November 1, 2021 Google started to require so called "Scoped Storage" for new App updates amongst other changes, which IITC did not have at that time. Since then, updates to IITC Mobile were only available via F-Droid or the IITC-CE website.

This problem has been fixed and, with version 0.41.0, the App is back and updated on the Play Store!

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.exarhteam.iitc_mobile

(Note that if you currently have IITC Mobile installed manually via an APK you might need to uninstall it first before reinstalling it via the Play Store)

Niantic has released Update 2.174.1 and with it the Starred Portal Feature was also released!

After updating you will now find a star on each Portal Key in your inventory. Tapping it will mark that Portal as starred and, with a new filter, will be shown at the top of the Key List or the start of the Capsule view, even after you restart your game.

Each Agent has 3 base slots available which can be expanded by Recursing or subscribing to C.O.R.E., with each Recursion adding 5 permanent slots (up to 25) and an active C.O.R.E. subscription adding 25 slots as long as the subscription is active, plus one slot for each month subscribed (up to 25 additional slots).

If you are unsure how many slots you have you can consult our table above or this Google Sheet!

The Ingress team has just announced a new feature coming in the next update: Droneโ€™s-Eye View (DEV)!

As with the Intel Map, you will be able to pan around the scanner and view areas outside your normal scanner view and tap a portal to view its details. You will also be able to see all Drones from other players that are stationed at Portals.

This feature can also be started using the remote view of Portals and by using Deep Links, meaning this is a great way to check out Anomaly gameplay or other operations from directly within the Scanner!

This new feature will only be available to active C.O.R.E. subscribers.

Niantic Spatial seem to have solved the problem with VPS-activated portals that were impossible to calibrate!

Calibration earlier failed on a majority of portals that were VPS-activated after the split from Wayfarer, while it was possible to continue to calibrate to a Portal that was VPS-activated before the split.

We are now receiving reports from agents that newly VPS-activated portals are possible to calibrate, and the Ingress team has just posted on Bluesky that they have implemented a change that should fix these problems in general. Let us know if you can calibrate to new VPS-Portals again!

Niantic Spatial and ITO EN have once again renewed their sponsorship deal for Ingress, meaning ITO EN will continue to support Ingress in the future!

ITO EN's commitment to Ingress runs deep, having celebrated a decade of alliance. The company's vending machines and locations have become integral to the Ingress Portal Network in Japan, while branded items like ITO EN Transmuters have become beloved gameplay elements that enhance the depth of the game.

The renewal of ITO EN's sponsorship deal with Niantic Spatial is more than just business. It's a sign of confidence in Ingress's future after the corporate split.

When Niantic restructured in 2024, with Pokรฉmon GO moving to Scopely and Ingress staying with the new Niantic Spatial, many wondered if corporate partnerships would survive. ITO EN's continued commitment, after years of supporting the game, sends a powerful signal.

All this shows established partners still believe in working with the smaller Niantic Spatial, preserving crucial revenue for development.

For Niantic Spatial to succeed independently, securing partnerships like this isn't just about keeping Ingress alive. It's about proving the game's worth as a platform for next-generation location-based AR technologies.

Do you want to send something to the IUENG channel, do you have a question, feedback or anything else that should reach the admins? You can use the Channel Messages feature that Telegram has implemented a short while ago to directly send us messages! You can do so via the chat button on the bottom of the channel, just to the left of the (un)mute button.

Going forward the @IUENG_Submission_bot will be retired as it had a few problems in the past and messages from Agents aren't as easy to follow on our side. If you have recently sent a message to the bot but haven't gotten any reply yet please resend your message through the Channel Messages!

A new Ingress Record has been Broken!

On September 10, 2025, the Ingress community witnessed something extraordinary. With meticulous planning and cooperation from international partners, Resistance agents from China successfully completed the longest Link in Ingress history!

The operation, designated "OP.Link2Infinity," connected Yumen in Gansu Province, China, to the remote Unalaska in Alaska, USA. The resulting Link measured precisely 6,881.279958 kilometers, falling just 42 millimeters short of the theoretical maximum distance possible within the game's mechanics!

Chinese agents @Xyinkl, @irisierend, @Leexiaoyu, @SSSunlight, @C7June, @NanoApe, @genthz, and @Kingmos, along with Japanese Agents @MikanZuki, @jejejejely and @yantensh from Hokkaido are the main protagonists of this endeavour, in collaboration with their teammates overseas remarking the collaborative spirit that defines our beloved game.

For those interested in the numbers, details and strategic considerations that made this historic Link possible, a comprehensive operation report is available at: https://vtx.space/archives/link2infen

A big "thank you" to these Agents for sharing this SITREP with us!
