Hytale will only cost $20 because it isn’t good yet, its developer says

Hytale will only cost  because it isn’t good yet, its developer says


Hytale, a more action-packed take on Minecraft, will be available for $20 when it relaunches in early access, Hypixel Studios announced on X. The developer shared that it planned to relaunch Hytale earlier this week after successfully reacquiring the rights to the game from Riot Games.

Alongside its $20 “Standard” edition, Hypixel also plans to offer $35 “Supporter” and $70 “Cursebreaker” editions of Hytale with additional in-game cosmetics. Pricing the game at $20 is an acknowledgement of how unfinished it is, according to Hypixel Studios co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme. “I’m pricing Hytale as aggressively low as possible,” Collins-Laflamme said in an X post. “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.”

Hypixel Studios shared footage of Hytale the day after it announced its deal with Riot Games. The game was originally cancelled by Riot in June 2025, after five years of development and “a major reboot of the game engine,” Hypixel CEO Aaron Donaghey said at the time.

Riot Games bought Hypixel Studios during a period of expansion that included the launch of the company’s publishing label Riot Forge, which was responsible for League of Legends spinoffs like Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. Riot eventually decided to sunset Riot Forge in 2024, alongside mass layoffs at the studio.
