How to sign up

  1. Go to the official website and click “Join the Test”.
  2. Log in with your HoYoverse account.
  3. Complete the recruitment questionnaire (hardware, platform and experience).
  4. Submit before July 3, 2026 at 23:59 (UTC+8).

Access is decided by lottery— applying does not guarantee a spot. Accepted players are notified on the official website (the “Check Test Access” button), plus email and SMS. Your platform is tied to the first device you use to log in, so you can’t move the account between devices during the test.

System requirements (test build)

PC (Windows)

CPU: Intel Core i5-11400F / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X or above. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT or above.

Android

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, Kirin 9020, Dimensity 9000+, Samsung Exynos 2400, Google Tensor G4 or an equivalent processor.

iOS

iPhone 12 Pro series, 13 Pro series, 14 series or any later model; or an iPad with an M1 chip or newer (iPad Pro 5th gen, iPad Air 5th gen and later) and iPad mini 7. Requires iOS 15.0 or above and 6GB RAM.

These are the recommended specs for the Evolution Test build only. The game is still in development and not yet optimized, so they do not represent final launch requirements.

Is there a pre-registration or launch date?

The Evolution Test is the current way in; there is no open launch pre-registration yet, and HoYoverse has not announced a release date. Treat the status as: in closed testing, beta recruitment open. See the release tracker or the full closed beta history.

Staying safe

Only use the official site. A real beta sign-up will never need an unofficial APK, a third-party PC installer, a survey wall, a “reward generator” or your account-recovery details. Treat any other page claiming to grant beta access as unverified.
