What is Hytale?
Hytale Early Access releases on 13th January 2026 on Windows PC, complete with modding support! The game will be released on Mac and Linux at a later date. For more information please read our blog post. Hytale is a sandbox adventure game about exploring blocky worlds, tackling dungeons, and building whatever you can dream up with your friends on your very own Hytale server.
You'll explore procedurally generated zones and biomes, each with their own creatures, structures, and secrets to discover. Follow the main adventure, go hunting for loot, or ignore all of that and focus on building. You choose your own adventure with Hytale, every playthrough you do is completely different, well, unless you play exactly the same!
There is a mix of RPG-style progression and classic sandbox freedom in Hytale. Gear up, fight hostile mobs, complete objectives, or slow things right down and spend your time farming, decorating, and making your base feel like home. You can play solo, jump in with a small group of friends, or run a larger community using our Hytale server rentals.
Hytale is also very much a long-term project. The team fully owns the game and is taking their time with early access, focusing on getting the core experience playable and polished rather than rushing to a full release. A big part of early access is putting the custom engine and modding tools through their paces, as almost everything is moddable and very little is hard-coded, so player feedback, bug reports, and crazy mod ideas are all a key part of shaping what Hytale becomes over time.
With our top-notch Hytale server hosting on our powerful game server platform, you can spin up a world in minutes, keep it online 24/7, control who can join, and manage your settings and mods through our easy-to-use control panel. When the server files are released, we'll be ready for you to jump straight into co-op adventures or larger community servers.
