Players can sign up for the Pokemon Sleep beta in certain parts of the world. While the beta access to the game is limited to where you live, players can still pre-register Pokemon Sleep so that once the game launches later in the summer, they can instantly download it. Pokemon Sleep has been a long time coming, first announced in May 2019. It has become an enigmatic presence within the fandom. The game is the polar opposite of Pokemon Go. Whereas Go is all about being active and going to new places, Sleep is all about getting a good night’s rest.

If you don’t live in any of the countries listed for the Pokemon Sleep beta, you can still pre-register for the game. When you pre-register the title, you’ll be notified when the game releases as soon as it launches on your device. The steps to pre-register Pokemon Sleep are simple.

The game is currently not available to pre-register on iOS. To pre-register the game on Android, follow these steps:

Head over to the Google Play Store and sign in with your Google Play account.
Go to the Pokemon Sleep homepage on Google Play.
Hit the Pre-Register button on the Pokemon Sleep page.

Pre-registration for iOS will likely be similar to pre-registering on Google Play, if not identical. iOS devices use the Apple Store for all app purchases.
