Pokémon TCG Live adds Delta Reign, friend match requests and visual settings

Delta Reign launches across Pokémon TCG Live

Pokémon TCG Live’s November update brings the Mega Evolution—Delta Reign expansion into the digital game on 5 November at 9 a.m. Pacific Time (17:00 UTC). Players can buy booster packs and bundles in the in-game shop, redeem code cards from physical Delta Reign products, and use the new cards across all game modes.

The release also starts the expansion’s Battle Pass, a Build & Battle event and the November 2026 Ranked Ladder. The physical expansion is scheduled for 6 November in the UK, so Live players get access one day earlier than local tabletop release.

Version 1.44.0 adds friend matches and visual controls

The 4 November client update also adds an inbox for friend invites and match requests. Players can now invite friends to Expanded format matches, opening a direct route to a format beyond the Standard-focused queues. New visual-effects settings let players adjust VFX for accessibility or device performance.

Version 1.44.0 includes gameplay fixes affecting hidden-card reveals, Prize card selection and Learning Lab, alongside card-specific fixes and general polish. Pokémon says scheduled maintenance concluded at 01:05 UTC on 5 November, and the game is back online.

• Delta Reign cards can be played in every game mode
• The Battle Pass, Build & Battle event and November Ranked Ladder began with the digital release
• Friend requests and match requests are collected in a new inbox
• Friend matches now support Expanded format
• Visual-effects controls can be changed for accessibility or performance

What players should know

This is a digital availability update rather than a new physical product reveal: the set’s cards, packaging and UK release details were announced earlier. For players, the key change is that Delta Reign’s full digital play window starts alongside new social and display options, with the physical UK launch following on 6 November.

The official notes do not specify an end date for the Battle Pass or Build & Battle event in the release post. Players should check the in-game event screen for current timings rather than assume a duration.
