Thirdverse and Sanrio have announced a closed beta test for free-to-play social VR game Hello Kitty Skyland will be held in late September 2025 for Meta Quest 2, 3, and 3S devices. Up to 500 players will be selected to play the closed beta test, and fans can register by heading to the game’s official Discord server.
During the closed beta test, players may test out the core multiplayer mechanics and gameplay loops ahead of launch later this year. Feedback for Hello Kitty Skyland will be gathered through surveys and Discord in order to further refine the UX, controls, and gameplay experience.
“We are thrilled to let Sanrio fans and VR gamers experience the world of Hello Kitty Skyland ahead of release,” said Thirdverse CEO and executive producer Masaru Ohnogi. “All feedback will help us craft a world that will be loved by many.”
Lastly, here’s an overview of Hello Kitty Skyland:
