PayPalAfter being cancelled by Riot Games and revived as an indie game again, Hytale is now set for an Early Access launch in January 2026. Pre-purchasing will open December 13th, with it going live January 13th.
No doubt many are excited about this since it had a lot of followers watching it in previous years, thanks to its blend of a sort-of Minecraft style but more of a proper RPG. So a bit like Minecraft and Skyrim combined you might say.
In a fresh announcement the developer makes it clear this will be a very real early access, not like a lot of the early access styled stuff we see on Steam where the game is nearly finished. This will be "very much unfinished and will be buggy for a while" and they expect the "first impression will be rough". Still, it's going to be nice to finally see it out, and with the creators actually in full control.
Just over a week ago they also put up a nice long slice of gameplay too:

1. My first question was about what platforms are supported (From Shockbyte):
"At launch, Hytale will be available on Windows only. Other platforms (Mac, Linux, consoles) are a long-term goal, but the devs are taking a “no promises” approach. Right now, the focus is on getting the game stable and playable for PC users."
2. Will Hytale be on Steam? (From Shockbyte):
No official confirmation yet, but it seems likely in the future. For now, it’ll have its own launcher.
2. My third question was cost (From Shockbyte):
"Hytale Early Access Pricing:
Base Game – $19.99
Supporter Edition – $34.99
Cursebreaker Founder’s Pack – $69.99
None of these versions offer gameplay advantages"
4. My last question is:
If I purchase the early access edition from Hypixel Studios, will the worlds that I create transfer to Steam when/if the game is released on Steam? This is likely my biggest concern.
