Hytale is available right now in Early Access. Here’s exactly where to buy it, how much it costs, and what you get.
Where to Buy Hytale
Hytale is only available through the official store at store.hytale.com. It is not on Steam. Hypixel Studios deliberately bypassed Steam for Early Access to iterate closely with their core community. The game downloads and launches through the official Hytale Launcher.
Hytale Price: All Three Editions
Three editions are available at launch. All premium cosmetics are purely visual — no pay-to-win. The higher-tier editions also receive additional free cosmetic sets added during Early Access at no extra cost.
| Edition | Price | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $19.99 | Early Access, character name reservation, Forest Guardian Set, Voyager Set, Standard Capes |
| Supporter | $34.99 | Everything in Standard + Scavenger Set, Featherbound Set, Arctic Scout Set, Supporter Capes |
| Cursebreaker Founders Pack | $69.99 | Everything in Supporter + Hope of Gaia Set, Void Hero Set, Pop Star Set, Cursebreaker Capes |
Important: These editions are exclusive to Early Access. Once Hytale hits full release, these packages will be gone. If you want the Founders cosmetics, you need to buy before full launch.

Which Edition Should You Buy?
For most players, the Standard Edition at $19.99 is the right call. You get full Early Access with no gameplay restrictions. The extra cosmetics in higher tiers are purely cosmetic — they don’t affect progression, stats, or gameplay in any way.
Go for Supporter ($34.99) if you want to back the devs and get three extra cosmetic armour sets. The Cursebreaker pack at $69.99 is for collectors who want the full founders collection.
Do not wait for a sale. These Founders editions disappear at full launch, and Hypixel has confirmed the price will increase post-Early Access. Buying now locks in the lowest price and the exclusive cosmetics.
