PayPalWith the first release of Hytale finally approaching, the developers are still working through getting it running on Linux and macOS. As covered on GamingOnLinux previously, the developers did confirm they were working on both versions officially now.
At least now we know how you'll be getting it, with the developer doing it via a Flatpak which means you should be able to install it across many different distributions.
In a post on X/Twitter from Kevin Carstens, the Co-Founder and Tech Director for Hytale, they posted:
And for those wanting to play it on Steam Deck, it may technically work since it will have a Linux version but may not feel very good right now:
There's also no gamepad support at launch, but it's next up on the accessibility roadmap.

no appimage?
i guess someone can extract the client from it and build an actual package
nice to see linux support though
Quoting: XpanderflatpakI love how ridiculously divisive we all are as Linux users.

Dare I ask... why the hate for flatpak (a puke emoji, no less!)? If I can't install something directly, I want a flatpak. I'll use an AppImage and resent it, because it (often) doesn't create a menu item, it requires me to find a place for it to live (I usually bung them in ~/Misc/Apps or something), and doesn't update with the rest of my system. I won't use snap, as I'm not interested in YAI (yet another installer) when I already have flatpak.
