Beta Signups Open Now
HoYoVerse is cracking open Petit Planet sooner than expected: signups for a closed beta, the "Stardrift Test," are live ahead of an April 21 start.
Billed as a "cozy galactic life sim," Petit Planet hands you stewardship of an entire bite-sized world floating in the Starsea. Expect to farm, fish, cook, relax on the beach, befriend fuzzy neighbors, and even form galaxies while keeping your planet thriving.
The studio pitches a gentle, creative loop. "Spend relaxed and fulfilling days on your planet alongside your fuzzy Neighbors, and let your imagination run wild as you decorate your home or shape your own stylish landscapes," HoYoVerse said. "You can also explore the Starsea and forge connections with people and things at the ever-bustling Galactic Bazaar."
Those relationships are the backbone, according to the team: "Each bond you form with Neighbors and the world around you weaves into an ever-growing web of connections that keeps the universe flourishing. As these bonds deepen and planets thrive, Luca, the vitality that flows through all things, shapes new landscapes and brings wondrous changes to your world." It’s a clear statement of intent: slow life, small joys, big ripples.
What’s In The Stardrift Test
HoYoVerse says this round will expand the game’s sandbox and social beats. The closed beta will introduce new characters and polish some of the spacefaring exploration between worlds.
