HoYoverse’s Petit Planet Headed to Winter 2026

The launch marks HoYoverse's first major push into life-simulation with social multiplayer features.

Overview

  • HoYoverse confirmed Petit Planet will launch for PC (client and Epic Games Store), iOS, and Android in Winter 2026 and began public sign-ups ahead of release.
  • App-store pre-registration and the Closed Beta Coziness Test registration opened Tuesday on Google Play, the Apple App Store, and the official Petit Planet site with testers to be selected from applicants.
  • The game centers on nurturing a personal planet, daily activities like planting, fishing, crafting, and decorating, and relationship building with traveling 'Neighbors' who can settle and interact on your world.
  • Social systems include the Galactic Bazaar as a player hub and Starsea Voyages for co-op exploration of islets and shared resources, signaling a focus on multiplayer and community features.
  • The move expands HoYoverse beyond large live-service titles such as Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail and could broaden the studio's audience by offering a relaxing, social life-sim experience.
