Petit Planet: release date, platforms, and free download

miHoYo has set December 4 as the release date for Petit Planet. According to Gematsu, the game will launch on PC through the Epic Games Store and a client download, on iOS through the App Store, and on Android through Google Play. The announcement describes it as a cozy galactic life simulation, and the publisher states it will be available as a free download on multiple platforms.

The announcement describes a system for shaping the planet and decorating the home with ease. Players can transform the landscape, coastline, and skies, and the publisher says the planet can be made to feel uniquely yours. The stated options range from bright and dreamy to natural or completely wild, with the planet left for the player to shape.

On the planet, players meet Neighbors with distinct personalities who are looking for a place to call home. Their stories are uncovered by lending a helping hand, exchanging gifts, sharing meals, or taking quiet strolls together. Daily activities listed in the announcement include farming, fishing, beachcombing, and cooking, with ingredients combined to uncover new recipes. Playful little sprites also appear along the way, and the publisher describes these familiar activities as more magical on a planet beneath the stars.

For exploration, players can set sail across the Starsea with their fuzzy helpers, visiting new places, gathering materials, discovering creatures, and meeting new friends. The Galactic Bazaar is described as a bustling hub for Planet Tenders from across the universe, where they can trade, play, create, or simply hang out. The announcement presents it as a welcoming space for making connections. The publisher also says players can enjoy time alone, make memories with their Neighbors, or visit the bazaar when they want company, at their own pace.

The announcement covers the free download and the platforms, but it does not detail in-app purchases or system requirements. What is documented is the December 4 date and the three stores named in the report.
