Petit Planet Second Beta Test Recruitment Now Open——How to Sign Up

I’ve been keeping an eye on HoYoverse’s upcoming cosmic life sim, Petit Planet, ever since the first “Coziness Test” wrapped. Now the next phase is finally here. The second closed beta, officially titled the Stardrift Test, has opened recruitment.

If you missed the first round, this is the next entry point. You’ll step in as a “Planet Tender”, managing your own small world—farming, fishing, and shaping a quiet corner of the Starsea alongside your fuzzy Neighbors. Compared to the initial test, this phase is expected to offer a broader slice of the game.

How to Sign Up (Global Link Included)

You can access the official global recruitment page directly at the link below:

Official Petit Planet Global Sign-Up 

Steps:

1. Log in with your HoYoverse account

2. Click the “Join Beta” button on the homepage

3. Fill out and submit the recruitment questionnaire

After you submit the survey, keep a close watch on your registered email. HoYoverse typically sends out the “Access Confirmed” notifications in waves as we approach the April 21 launch, so don’t lose heart if you don’t hear back immediately.

Not everyone who applies will get access. Players who are selected will receive notifications through: Email or SMS (depending on region)

It's important to double-check your contact details before submitting, as they cannot be edited afterward.

 

Test Details (What We Know So Far)

This beta largely follows the structure of the first test, with incremental improvements rather than a full-scale public release.

• Test Type: Closed, confidential, non-paid, data wipe
• Platforms: PC (Windows) and iOS
• Access: Limited invitations only
• Age Requirement: 18+
• All test data will be wiped after the test ends, and NDA rules still apply.

Official FAQ (Key Points)

Here are the most relevant takeaways:

1. You must complete the questionnaire to qualify
2. Test access is device-bound (cannot switch devices freely)
3. The game is still in development, and content does not reflect the final version
4. Feedback from testers will directly influence future updates

 

What's New in the Second Beta?

The Stardrift Test represents a major step forward from the initial "Coziness Test." While the core loop remains familiar, HoYoverse is shifting its focus toward the depth of the planet-building systems and the richness of social interactions. You can expect a much more polished experience as the team iterates on NPC behaviors and overall game stability, making the galaxy feel more alive and responsive to your actions.

This phase is less about just showcasing the world and more about refining the complex systems that will define the final release. Beyond the technical optimizations, the developers are introducing a wealth of new explorable content, ensuring that even returning Tenders have fresh mysteries to uncover among the stars.

Is It Worth Applying?

If you're interested in cozy simulation games or HoYoverse's new IP direction, this test is one of the earliest chances to experience Petit Planet.

Just be realistic: selection is limited, and the experience will still feel unfinished.
