HoYoverse Opens Sign-Ups for Petit Planet 'Stardrift Test' Starting April 21

Limited invites help the studio tune social features ahead of a wider launch.

Overview

  • HoYoverse opened sign-ups Thursday for the closed beta that starts April 21 on PC, iOS, and Android with text in seven languages and voice in English, Japanese, and Chinese.
  • Access will be limited, as invites go to a portion of players who complete the survey on the official site.
  • The build adds new Neighbors, a Starsea Map for Starsea Voyage that guides trips to small Islets, and more activities at the Galactic Bazaar like coffee meetups, dancing, and auctions.
  • Rules for testers include an 18+ age limit, play locked to a single chosen platform, a full data wipe after the test, and no announced end date.
  • This is the second closed beta after November 2025’s Coziness Test, and the game still has no release date.
