With the release of Pokemon Sleep on the horizon, fans from select countries around the world can now quietly participate in the app's beta test, which is currently online. The Pokemon Company recently announced that interested participants can sign up for beta testing the Pokemon Sleep app. There are quite a few restrictions to keep in mind, though.

Nothing was heard after that, and many speculated that the app was canceled. However, it was finally showcased on February 27 this year and was officially announced to arrive in Summer 2023.
