HoYoverse Brings Cozy Space Sim Petit Planet to Closed Beta This Month
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
HoYoverse is launching a closed beta test called the Stardrift Test for its upcoming cozy space sim, Petit Planet, on April 21 across PC, iOS, and Android.
HoYoverse is expanding its massive portfolio beyond action RPGs and urban fantasy with its upcoming cozy life sim, Petit Planet. According to a recent report by IGN South Africa, the game is gearing up for its first major hands-on opportunity with the Stardrift Test, a closed beta kicking off on April 21. Players on PC, iOS, and Android will finally get a chance to see how the studio translates its signature production values into a relaxing, community-driven format.
The upcoming beta test introduces several key features designed to flesh out the game's celestial sandbox. Participants will be able to interact with new animal neighbors, dive into expanded Starsea Voyage explorations, and test out fresh activities within the Galactic Bazaar social hub. While the aesthetic draws clear inspiration from titles like Animal Crossing mixed with the whimsical tone of The Little Prince, this test will give the community a real look at how cross-platform multiplayer and social spaces function in practice.
As with most early development tests, players should note that all progress and data will be wiped when the beta concludes. Even so, this initial rollout is a significant milestone for anyone tracking cross-platform cozy games that seamlessly bridge mobile and desktop play.
