Petit Planet Pre-Launch Program: Date, Time & Stream

Petit Planet’s final pre-launch broadcast is set for November 1, 2026 at 19:00 UTC+8 (11:00 UTC). It is the last confirmed information event before the Winter 2026 launch window, and the most likely place for a release-date announcement.

Start time in your region

Daylight saving time can shift the US and European times by an hour. Use the official YouTube listing for the exact local time.

Where to watch

• Official Petit Planet YouTube channel — the primary stream.
• Official HoYoverse site — may embed the stream on the landing page.
• Official X/Twitter — clips and announcements during or after the show.
• Official Discord — community discussion and summary posts.

Avoid reupload channels that add fake codes or “leaks” to the title. The official stream will be the source of truth.

What to expect

HoYoverse has described the program as a pre-launch special with the development team and a special guest. A typical show of this kind includes:

• A new trailer or opening animation.
• A recap of the world, neighbors and core systems.
• A release-date announcement or launch window update.
• Pre-registration milestone news.
• A segment with the guest, likely a voice actor or content creator.
• Launch events, rewards and version content.

The release date is the headline everyone wants. The other likely reveals are the launch version’s neighbor roster, the first seasonal event and the pre-load schedule.

What we already know

• Release window: Winter 2026.
• Platforms: PC, iOS and Android; additional platforms in development.
• Price: free to play.
• Beta status: Final Beta ended October 19, 2026.
• Pre-registration: live, with the Bestie Star-Light guaranteed and milestone rewards up to the Sproutling Outfit Set.

The release date page tracks the confirmed window and the exact-date status.

How to prepare

1. Pre-register on the official site if you have not already.
2. Check the system requirements and free up storage.
3. Follow the official YouTube channel and set a reminder.
4. Decide whether you want to start in Hexia or Taffeh.
5. Avoid “early access” key sellers; the game is free to play.
6. Keep an eye on the official X account for the English stream link.

What happens after the program?

If a release date is announced, the usual sequence is:

• A release-date trailer and pre-load details.
• A launch maintenance window.
• In-game launch mail with pre-registration rewards.
• The first limited event and banner-free cosmetic shop rotation.

If no date is announced, the Winter 2026 window remains the only confirmed timing. We will update this page and the release-date page after the stream.

Bottom line

November 1 is the date to circle. The show starts at 19:00 UTC+8 / 11:00 UTC, and it is the best chance to turn “Winter 2026” into an actual launch day. Until then, pre-register and keep your storage free.
