The +Gamma Global Op concluded yesterday, with a provisional result marked on the Scanner app.

The score is
ENL 48.9 - 51.1 RES
Which means that the split of Season Points between the Factions would be:
ENL 489 - 511 RES

Edit: Niantic confirmed the final results to be:
ENL 487.8 - 512.2 RES

While the final result has to be confirmed by Niantic, one thing is certain:
🔵 The Resistance captured the +Gamma Global Op!

Niantic shared additional details about the three Campaigns that we reported about in the previous days, in particular regarding The Aberration Campaign.

All Campaigns will run from March 6th @ 18:00 UTC to April 6th @ 18:00 UTC. (If you are running the latest update of the official Telegram app, click the dates to view the times in your timezone!)

The Aberration
All Agents will be able to access a common Campaign called "The Aberration", which will contain both defensive tasks (deploy Resonators, create Links and Fields) and offensive tasks (destroy Resonators, fire XMPs, destroy Links).

🛡 Completing defensive tasks will unlock a campaign called “The Aberration: Superposition”.
⚔️ Completing offensive tasks will unlock a campaign called “The Aberration: Dissolution”.
⚖️ Completing both, will unlock a campaign called “The Aberration: Equilibrium”.

This is a chance for all Agents to obtain some additional +Gamma Tokens: a total of 3800 Tokens are up for grabs completing all the Aberration Campaigns.

The Feline Campaigns
Two additional premium campaigns (priced at 30.000 CMU) will be available for purchase in the in-app store: Bad Cat 2026 and Good Cat 2026.
Both campaigns, if completed will award their respective new medal.

We are receiving reports that Ingress is currently experiencing server issues with Agents not being able to take any action or being able to log in as well as the Intel Map not being reachable either.

This may not be isolated to just Ingress, as other services and sites are also having issues with reports from Facebook, Instagram, Steam and a lot others also being down.

We will keep you updated.

Current status: 🟢 The issue has been resolved and all systems are go. Daily Bounties progress is being caught up with. (00:09 UTC)

Niantic Spatial has announced that throughout this and next week the team is working on updates to their servers. These updates are happening on the live server, so a heads up was given that there might be some unannounced latency or outages throughout the work.

The exact details of these upgrades to the servers were not divulged, so it is unknown if this is simply required maintenance to keep the servers running or preparations for new features and/or better stability and fixes to existing features overall.

The Ingress Team has announced that several core community features will be paused or retired on March 11, 2026.

⏸️ On that date, access to Operation Portal Recon (OPR) will be paused, along with new Portal nominations and edits. At the same time, Overclock will be retired. According to the Ingress team, this change is part of a broader effort to realign the AR feature Overclock with Niantic Spatial’s updated priorities and spatial technology roadmap.

OPR was brought back online after the switch from Niantic to Niantic Spatial in November 2025, alongside the Seer Medal, to replace Wayfarer after it was sold to Scopely together with Pokemon Go.

🤳Scanning, along Scout and Scout Controller Badges will not be affected, as stated by Niantic Spatial on Reddit

🔜 In the short term, the Ingress team says their focus will shift toward campaigns, global operations, and infrastructure improvements. By pausing some legacy systems, they intend to free up resources to support the game and its community in the long term.

With OPR and submissions paused, the Portal Network will not receive new nominations or edits for the time being. However, the team acknowledged the importance of maintaining a high-quality and up-to-date Portal Network and stated they plan to explore "new approaches for supporting mapping initiatives" in the future.

🔒 In a post on BlueSky, Niantic acknowledged that opening OPR access to Level 16 Agents gave the team insight into the kinds of abuse they could expect if the platform were opened to all Agents. This experience highlighted the need for additional changes and safeguards before expanding the system further.
This is most likely a reference to recent cases of coordinated review abuse, including large-scale bot voting that was uncovered after Niantic added badge tier timestamps, which allowed the community to identify suspicious review patterns.

ℹ️ This pause is described as part of a redesign effort. Niantic says it will work on new ways to support community-driven mapping, similar to what OPR previously provided.
