UPDATE – Maintenance will be instead by conducted from 1:00 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. UTC on Friday, August 25th.
A new update is coming to Pokémon Sleep, which requires a period of maintenance on the game, during which it will be unavailable.
In order to update the Pokémon Sleep app, maintenance will be conducted on Thursday, August 24th from 1:00 – 5:30 a.m. UTC. As a result of this, how your sleep tracking research works will vary:
- If you begin tracking your sleep before maintenance begins, you will be able to conduct your sleep research as usual.
- If you begin your sleep tracking during maintenance and only record one session of data, you will be able to conduct your sleep research as usual.
- If you record two or more sessions, they will be combined into a speed review, and all the sleep research including snack time will be conducted automatically.
Improvements After Maintenance – Game Contents
The following improvements will be coming to the game once the maintenance is complete:
- The Good Sleep Event will be added to the game ready for Wednesday, August 30th. We’ll share more information about this event as soon as we have it!
- The conditions for meeting your set ‘bedtime’ will be broadened so it is easier to meet the requirements. Players will be able to meet their ‘bedtime’ by starting sleep tracking up to 90 minutes before their ‘bedtime’, and 30 minutes after their ‘bedtime’
- Night mode will be added for the loading screen
- Four levels of graphic quality settings will be added. These will be divided more finely than before, with the aim of decreasing battery usage, and increasing general performance
- Adjustments will be made to the Research Community, so that a player is returned to the same scroll location when they have looked at a friend’s research and have then returned to the Research Community screen
- The amount of data a new player needs to download when they initially register has been decreased
- A new notification has been added to the home screen that will notify a player when the effect of the Good Camp Ticket has been used up
Improvements After Maintenance – Sleep Tracking
