"Coziness Test" sign-ups now available.
miHoYo has announced Petit Planet, a cosmic life simulation game for PC and mobile, with addition platforms currently in development. Recruitment for the “Coziness Test,” which will run across PC and iOS, is currently live via the official website. The test will support English and Japanese language options.
Here is an overview of the game, via miHoYo:
Petit Planet is a cosmic life simulation game that invites players on a journey fueled by idyllic yet adventurous lifestyles, unique neighbors, and surprising wonders. Driven by its slogan “Weave Your Dreams Beneath the Stars,” the game blends the joy of creation, discovery, and community-oriented experiences, transforming the universe into a canvas for the infinite possibilities of life. Closed Beta sign-ups are now open.
In Petit Planet, players are entrusted to nurture a planet of their own and gradually form a galaxy by connecting with different planets scattered across the starry sky. The journey begins on each player’s planet, where fuzzy Neighbors can connect their home planets. As bonds deepen and planets flourish, Luca, the planet’s vitality, will shape each unique planet with different landscapes, brimming with life and energy.
As a life sim, Petit Planet unfolds everyday life with various joyful yet relaxing activities—planting, fishing, beachcombing, mining, cooking, and crafting. The sparkling moments of life also emerge when players harvest exotic crops, discover diverse ecosystems, and gather with adorable Neighbors. Beyond daily pursuits, Petit Planet offers customized options to encourage creativity—stylize characters with favorite outfits, design interiors, arrange outdoor spaces with themed furniture, and with Luca, even the sky, grasslands, and beaches can be transformed into new forms.
The galaxy shines brighter through connections with traveling Neighbors, each carrying their own personalities, stories, and dreams. These fuzzy companions can be invited to settle, and friendships can grow through heartfelt conversations, thoughtful gift exchanges, and unique interactions that make every bond distinct. As the planet prospers, so do the friendships upon it. Petit Planet weaves relationship building into daily activities to unlock deeper connections, turning ordinary encounters into cosmic wonders.
Even so, connections built in Petit Planet are never confined to your own planet. Players may board their trusty vehicle with helpful Neighbors to take a Starsea Voyage, venturing into unknown Islets, discovering rare creatures, uncovering hidden recipes, and forging unexpected friendships across the galaxy. Beyond exploration lies the Galactic Bazaar, an ever-bustling social hub where conversations spark over coffee, festival events bring joy to the sky, and friendships are formed with other players, turning a fleeting moment into a lasting connection.
Featuring 3D cartoony and stylized art, Petit Planet marks HoYoverse‘s first step into the life simulation genre. Confirmed for PC and mobile, with additional platforms currently in development, Petit Planet also explores more possibilities of social and multiplayer gameplay. The Closed Beta Coziness Test is officially open for player registration via the official website at planet.hoyoverse.com. A number of players will be selected from those who have successfully submitted the questionnaire for prospective testers and will be granted access to the test.
