Four years after its announcement, Pok\u00e9mon Sleep<\/em> is releasing on iOS and Android devices for free on July 16 but is currently only available in New Zealand as it begins its slow rollout, with more countries expected to get access soon. <\/p>
Players from the region can now download the Niantic app and start tracking their sleep to complete the title’s content. They’ll be met by a tutorial and a menu showing a sleeping Snorlax. Of course, if you aren’t from New Zealand there are alternative ways to get the game now<\/a> should you want to jump in before the official release in your region.<\/p>
Pok\u00e9mon Sleep<\/em> was originally announced in 2019. Rumors involving the title resurfaced in May<\/a> when dataminers found information in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>‘s files, and players waited until mid-July to see what the beta phase could offer.<\/p>
