HoYoverse is bringing Petit Planet to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. The developer announced the console edition during its November 1 pre-launch broadcast, expanding the platform lineup for its upcoming free-to-play life simulation game.
The PC, iOS and Android versions are scheduled to launch on December 4, 2026, with pre-downloads opening on December 1. The Switch 2 edition has a broader release window, and HoYoverse has not announced a specific date for it.
Petit Planet puts players in charge of a small world in the Starsea. Everyday activities include growing crops, fishing, cooking and making furniture, while animal-like Neighbors bring their own personalities and stories to the community. Players can also venture beyond their home planet to explore other locations.
A growing tree helps connect those activities to the development of the planet itself. Players begin with a Luca Seed that becomes a Luca Arbor, gradually influencing the landscape, seasons and ecosystem. The Galactic Bazaar provides another destination for meeting travelers, taking part in games and sharing creations.
The broadcast also outlined launch activities and customization rewards. HoYoverse says more than 1,000 clothing and furniture items can be earned through gameplay. A separate pre-registration event offers an exclusive clothing item to players who form a group with two friends.
For now, the confirmed rollout puts the computer and mobile editions first, followed by Switch 2 in 2027. The console announcement does not change the December launch date for the other three platforms.
