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 should you want to jump in before the official release in your region. Fans looking forward to seeing all the content from the get-go will be disappointed, as they will be fittingly required to sleep for 90 minutes to complete the first step of the tutorial and start collecting Pok\u00e9mon in the laziest fashion. Pok\u00e9mon Sleep was originally announced in 2019. Rumors involving the title resurfaced in May when dataminers found information in Pok\u00e9mon Go's files, and players waited until mid-July to see what the beta phase could offer. As the name suggests, the gameplay of Niantic's latest title revolves around sleeping. With the game, players can track it and understand their sleep schedule, quality, and habits better. They can collect Pok\u00e9mon in several different sleeping poses, as well as unlock more of them depending on their sleep patterns (between dozing, snoozing, and slumbering). Related: Pok\u00e9mon players dream up epic new Legendary mechanic for next generation The game's launch coincides with the Pok\u00e9mon Go\u00a0Plus+ accessory, which can also be used to enhance the player's experience in Pok\u00e9mon Sleep and was released the day before. To celebrate the official launch of the game, the YouTube channel has shared a live ASMR broadcast showing a sleeping Snorlax with relaxing music and sounds. Although the game can now be played by players located in New Zealand, the developer has yet to reveal a precise release window for other regions of the world. However, it'll likely be rolled out on other servers over the next few weeks. This article will be updated when Pok\u00e9mon Sleep becomes available to more players in the world.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pokemon-Go-Sleep-Snorlax-and-Komala.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909708"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1757"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=909708"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":909754,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909708\/revisions\/909754"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/908639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=909708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=909708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=909708"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=909708"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=909708"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=909708"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=909708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
