To ensure the continued safety of WPN communities, we are extending the WPN play metric snapshot grace period to January 1, 2023 in all regions where events are currently counted towards metrics. The extension should provide greater flexibility to WPN members who are not yet ready to host in-store play, or if it is not appropriate for their community due to increased COVID-19 concerns.

Until January 1, 2023, promo and product allocations will be based on live metrics or the Q1 2020 metric snapshot, whichever is higher. After that date, only live metrics will be used pending further updates.

The metric grace period allows WPN members to grow their allocations in regions where events can be run safely without penalizing communities that are not yet ready to host gatherings.

We will continue to monitor regional restrictions and may make further adjustments to this timeline as appropriate.

For up-to-date information on the status of in-store play and play metrics counting in each region, please review our play status page. If you have any questions, please contact Retail Support.
