Hytale has returned to the headlines after Hypixel Studios repurchased the project and set its team back to work. For players wondering whether they can lock in a copy before launch the short answer is that you cannot pre-order Hytale yet, but the studio has already sketched out early access edition tiers and the prices you can expect once pre-orders go live.
Hypixel Studios announced the reacquisition and has been moving quickly since. That momentum has produced a price framework and edition names, but not a live storefront. Early access release details are coming soon, and when those details appear, pre-orders should follow. Hypixel plans three early access editions. The published prices are below and come from the developer information circulating with the announcement.
| Hytale Edition | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard | $19.99 |
| Supporter | $34.99 |
| Cursebreaker | $69.99 |
Official feature differences for Supporter and Cursebreaker have not been fully detailed. An X message reads exactly as follows
“The team states the higher tier editions will offer cosmetics such as capes, hats, and more!“
That aligns with what many players expect when a sandbox game offers tiered early access. Cosmetic bonuses are a straightforward way to fund ongoing development while leaving gameplay available to a broad audience.
“I’m pricing Hytale as aggressively low as possible. I’m taking on a considerable personal risk after repurchasing the game and getting it ready for early access for a growing team of now 50 talented individuals. I said I was all in, and I am delivering on that promise. The game is unfinished and runs on a build from over four years ago. Charging more didn’t feel right. I don’t think the game is good yet. My team and I will push hard to make it good, then great. The vision is clear and progress is fast. I want as many players as possible to jump in. Times are tough in the current economy for a lot of you, and I want everyone to have a fair chance to be part of what comes next. Thank you for the support.”
That candid wording comes from the studio founder and underlines why the entry price is low. It also frames the early access period as a work in progress. Buyers should be prepared for rough edges at launch and regular updates after release. For now the only sensible move is to wait for the official pre-order page. We expect an early access announcement soon, which will include purchase links and platform availability. When the pre-order window opens it will likely appear on common storefronts for PC first, with console releases to follow if Hypixel confirms them.
