Ahead of Pokemon Unite’s September 22 release on Google Play, there’s a pretty simple process to make sure you’re pre-registered for Unite.

Once you find the game’s Play Store page, in place of where you see the ‘download’ there should be a ‘pre-register’ button. Click that and you should be registered for Pokemon Unite!

After you hit the button, you might see a window that asks you to ‘install when available.’ You don’t have to select that option, since you’ll still be pre-registered.
