The core loop is unchanged: you raise a small planet, and other players\u0026#39; stars appear in your sky to visit.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat moved is the surface.

HoYoverse is tuning the onboarding path, not the systems.","threadsPost":"Petit Planet's Final Beta rebuilt the Star Market hub and extended Japanese voice acting to tutorials and event scenes. That points to HoYoverse polishing the opening hours and the central gathering space rather than adding new systems this late in testing.","newsletterBlurb":"HoYoverse's Petit Planet is in its Final Beta Test, the third beta ahead of release. A Game Spark writer who played the Cozy Test on November 7, 2025 reports that Japanese voice acting now covers tutorials and event scenes, that new resident characters and profile illustrations were added, and that the Star Market hub field was largely rebuilt.
