Pokémon Sleep will enter a maintenance period early next week on Tuesday June 11th for an update of the software to Version 1.8.0. This maintenance period is expected to run for roughly 4 and a half hours, from 1:00am until 5:30am (UTC). The update includes balance adjustments for Pinsir and Heracross as well as some minor quality of life changes, in addition to preparing the game for the Summer Festival event commencing the following week.
The game's developers have also released an update regarding certain recent performance issues.
