A Petit Planet Switch 2 version is planned for 2027, following the free-to-play life sim’s December 4, 2026 launch on PC, iOS and Android. The Nintendo release has a year-long window rather than a specific day.
HoYoverse shared the latest plans in its official pre-launch special program. Gematsu’s report records the Switch 2 announcement and the earlier PC and mobile launch.
Petit Planet release dates by platform
- PC: December 4, 2026, through the Epic Games Store and a downloadable client.
- iOS and Android: December 4, 2026.
- Nintendo Switch 2: 2027; no exact date was included in this announcement.
For Nintendo players, the distinction matters: December 4 is the PC and mobile date. It should not be read as the Switch 2 launch date, and the 2027 window should not be narrowed to a month without another announcement.
What kind of game is Petit Planet?
Players become Planet Tenders, developing a home planet and meeting animal-like neighbours. A Luca Seed grows into a Luca Arbor, shaping the planet’s landscape and seasons. Exploration extends to islands across the Starsea and a Galactic Bazaar where players can share creations.
The focus is on shaping a living space and forming connections rather than following the combat-led structure familiar from other HoYoverse games. The publisher’s free-to-play description should not be taken to mean that every optional item will be free.

A different audience for HoYoverse
The Switch 2 announcement gives Nintendo players a confirmed platform to watch. It does not yet tell us how large that audience will be or how it will overlap with PC and mobile. For context on the studio’s existing games, see our Genshin Impact player-activity coverage, whose figures concern that separate title.
