HoYoverse has announced the global launch date for its new cozy galactic life simulation game, Petit Planet. The title is scheduled to release on December 4, 2026, for PC, iOS, and Android platforms. The PC version will be available via the Epic Games Store and a standalone client, while mobile players can access it through the App Store and Google Play. The game will support cross-play between these platforms.

In a significant strategic move, the developer also confirmed that Petit Planet will arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. This marks the studio’s first official title for a Nintendo console.
