Petit Planet launches December 4, 2026, on PC, iOS, and Android, with a Nintendo Switch 2 release coming in 2027. HoYoverse confirmed both release windows during its Pre-Launch Special Program. Cross-platform play is also confirmed for PC and mobile at launch.
Petit Planet is HoYoverse's first cozy galactic life sim, where you'll develop a planet of your own and get to know the Neighbors who move in. You can also head out across the Starsea to explore its scattered Islets.
Growing a Luca Arbor Changes Your Planet
Your journey into the Starsea begins on the back of Oumuamua, a Starsea Spirit said to listen to people's wishes. Once you reach your planet, you'll plant a Luca Seed and watch it grow into a Luca Arbor.
As the Luca Arbor grows, your planet's landscape, seasons, and ecosystem gradually change.
Meet Neighbors and Explore Beyond Your Planet
Two Neighbors will be there to welcome you. Mobai is the Planet Coordinator, and Elsasani is a Starsea Racer. More Neighbors will arrive over time, each with their own story.
You can travel across the Starsea to explore different Islets. At the Galactic Bazaar, you can play games, take part in auctions, and share things you've created.
I explored it during the Stardrift Test and shared my impressions in my Petit Planet preview.
Pre-Registration Rewards and Planet Creation Contests
More than 1,000 clothing and furniture items can be earned for free through regular gameplay. Pre-registration has its own rewards, and separate contests offer chances to win prizes.
In Besties, Made to Match!, you and two friends can pre-register together to receive an exclusive clothing item each. There's also a pre-registration lucky draw on the official website for a chance at additional prizes.
The Launch a Planet event began November 1. You can design your own planet through its event website and enter for a chance to win grand prizes. The first Seasonal Creation Event begins at launch. Selected fan creations can receive cash prizes, in-game rewards, and official merchandise.
HoYoverse has another promotion on the game's X account. You can get a Moving Guide and enter a draw for a suitcase, gift cards, or an exclusive luggage tag.
You can pre-register for Petit Planet on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Epic Games Store to receive a notification when it launches December 4.
