Hytale: Pre-orders are officially open! Everything you need to know

The wait is finally over. After years of speculation and twists and turns, Hypixel Studios has officially launched pre-orders for Hytale . If you’ve been waiting to secure your access to the most anticipated sandbox game of the decade, now’s your chance at store.hytale.com .

Here’s everything we know about the available editions, prices, and early access release date.

📅 Release Date and Early Access

Before discussing price, let’s mark the date on our calendars. Purchasing a pre-order pack guarantees you access to the Early Access version of the game, which will launch on:

🗓️ January 13, 2026

This early access phase will allow players to discover the adventure mode and creation tools while actively participating in balancing the game before its final release.

🛡️ Why pre-order now?

Beyond supporting the studio which has regained its independence to save the project, pre-ordering offers a major advantage: reserving your nickname .

Since the username system is unique (no discriminatory rules like on Discord), popular usernames (“Leo”, “Shadow”, “Knight”, etc.) are likely to disappear very quickly. Pre-ordering today guarantees you’ll secure your identity right away.

Where can I buy the game?

Beware of scams, the only official place to buy the game is the official store: 👉 https://store.hytale.com/

The game will be available via an official launcher (and not on Steam for the time being).
