If you’re looking for something to do in about three weeks’ time, HoYoVerse is now taking signups for a round of closed beta testing for its next game, Petit Planet, that’s set to begin on April 21.
Petit Planet puts players in charge of an entire world, contained within the vast Starsea, where they can farm, fish, cook, hang out on the beach, make friends, form galaxies, and just generally live the cozy cosmic life.

The Stardrift Test, as HoYoVerse is calling it, will introduce new Neighbors, offer “enhanced Starsea Voyage experiences,” and add additional activities at the Galactic Bazaar. If you’d like a shot at access, you can sign up at planet.hoyoverse.com—HoYoVerse said “a selection” of people who sign up will get in, but pre-registering will also unlock “exclusive rewards” that I will assume will become available when the game launches.
Petit Planet does not currently have a release date, but HoYoVerse leaker Ubatcha said in February that the game was “entering its final stages of development,” so if this round of beta testing goes well, we may be hearing something on that front fairly soon.
