Hytale's mammoth pre-orders have covered "the next two years of development," proving the Minecraft challenger is really here to stay

Overview

  • The game unlocks simultaneously worldwide on January 13 at 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET / 3:00 PM GMT.
  • Entry requires a pre-purchase through the official Hytale Store and play is only via the Hytale Launcher, with no Steam or other third‑party storefronts at launch.
  • Founder Simon Collins‑Laflamme urges buyers to download and log into the launcher ahead of time to ease server load, citing an estimate of over 1 million day‑one players.
  • Three pre‑purchase editions are on sale, each granting Early Access, and Hypixel has prepared creator support with launch‑day mods distributed through CurseForge.
  • This is billed as “true early access” with an unfinished, possibly buggy build; the focus is PC for launch, with consoles planned for a later stage.
