Prizes and Editions
Contrary to rumors of a Free-to-Play model, Hytale adopts a classic paid model.
Here are the three confirmed editions:
| Edition | Price | What it contains |
| Standard | $19.99 | The full game, access to modding tools and multiplayer. |
| Support | $34.99 | Base game + exclusive cosmetics (visual effects, accessories). |
| Cursebreaker | $69.99 | The “Founder’s Pack”. Includes prestigious cosmetics and patron status to support the studio’s independence. |
Important note: None of these editions provide any in-game advantages (no Pay-to-Win). The Supporter and Cursebreaker editions are intended to financially support the team of 50 developers who took over the project.
Early Access: What to expect?
It is crucial for any buyer to understand the nature of this version. Hytale runs on the “Legacy Engine ,” a version of the game prior to Riot’s acquisition.
Early access focuses on the foundations of the game.
What this means for the player:
- Performance: The game is designed to run on a wide range of PCs, similar to Minecraft Java Edition standards, but optimization is an ongoing process. Console support is not currently available.
- Stability: As an Early Access game, it contains bugs, missing textures, and features that are still being tested. It is not a finished product.
- Modding: This is the engine’s strong point. Creation tools are available from the alpha version and allow for deep modification of the game right from launch.
The official message: “If you’re not comfortable with bugs, don’t pre-order. Wait.”
Available from launch
- Adventure Mode (Orbis): Procedural exploration of biomes, combat system, resource gathering and dungeons.
- Creative Mode: Access to the full inventory to build without limits using the game’s blocks and tools.
- Creation Tools: Access to third-party software such as Hytale Model Maker to create assets.
- Custom Multiplayer: Ability to join community servers or host your own game.
Scheduled for later
- Official Mini-Games (Bedwars, etc.): The development team is currently focusing on the core game (Sandbox). Official competitive mini-games will be added later. In the meantime, the community can create their own versions.
- Full Narrative: The main story and complex scripted quests will be integrated gradually.
