Hytale Launches in Early Access With Surging Demand, Tops Twitch on Day One

Developers pledge rapid fixes following higher-than-expected demand.

Overview

  • Hypixel says launch week will be bumpy as server load exceeds expectations and the team prepares patches for bugs and crashes.
  • Hytale became the most-watched game on Twitch during its debut, peaking at over 420,000 viewers across thousands of streams.
  • Pre-purchases have already secured roughly two years of early access development funding, according to the studio.
  • Some players reported login issues and delayed account verification emails, with hotfixes and backend scaling underway to stabilize access.
  • The game is sold through a dedicated launcher in three paid editions—Standard ($19.99), Supporter ($34.99), and Cursebreaker ($69.99)—with official mod support and no Steam release at launch.
