Platforms and Launch
Hytale enters Early Access on January 13, 2026 for PC (Windows). Here you'll find all confirmed information about available platforms and launch status.
📅 Release Date
⚠️ Important: Early access represents an incomplete version of the game. Developers warn it will be "rough", with bugs and systems in development. They recommend only those who understand the experimental nature of early access should join.
Hytale's Early Access begins on January 13, 2026 exclusively for Windows 10/11 64-bit. Pre-purchase is available since December 13, 2025 through the official site (not on Steam for now).
💻 Available Platforms
At Launch (January 2026)
- Windows 10/11 (64-bit) — Only platform available at launch
Planned for the Future
- macOS — Support planned after early access
- Linux — Support planned after early access. Distribution via Flatpak is planned when available. In the meantime, it will likely be playable on Linux using Proton without issues.
- Consoles — Not planned during early access, may come when the game is more complete
- Mobile — Not planned during early access
🌐 Languages
Initially, the game will only be in English. However, Hytale is designed to facilitate community translation (for example, through platforms like Crowdin).
🎮 Access and Purchase
💡 Note: Hypixel Studios aims to protect players from "scalpers" trying to hoard popular usernames to sell later.
Availability
- Purchase is exclusively through the official Hytale site
- Not available on Steam at launch
- No special pre-order bonuses (to avoid FOMO-driven purchases)
Usernames
Usernames in Hytale will be globally unique (like in Minecraft), preventing impersonation. The company has indicated they will revoke hoarded names with malicious intent or for resale.
