Developer Hypixel has revealed that they are planning to release a console version of Hytale at some point in the future, but it’ll be a while into the game’s development.
Speaking in a FAQ, Patrick Derbic, Executive Director on Hytale, revealed that “the early access of Hytale will only be on PC,” adding that while a console release is planning, it won’t drop until “a later stage.” He added that a console version of the game “requires a lot of work on backend systems to make this a reality,” and as Hypixel “would like to focus on making a good game first” a console port isn’t the priority at the moment.
In regards other current early access version, the studio noted that a number of features are still missing, and there are some bugs present. Furthermore, Derbic revealed that Hytale is not available on Steam at present. Read more details below:
No, not initially. We want to spend our time in Early Access working with our existing community to improve the game, rather than chasing a flood of cold first impressions that could overcorrect the game’s direction. We don’t shy away from honest, negative criticism; we have been very critical of the state of the game ourselves on social media. We simply want the first steps of our journey to be influenced by informed players rather than large-scale first impressions from those unfamiliar with the game’s development background.
Hytale was originally funded by Riot Games and was in development since 2015 from developers on the Minecraft multiplayer server Hypixel, which was purchased by Riot Games five years later. However, developed was scrapped in June 2025 before being revived in November by Simon Collins-Laflamme, who purchase the rights from Riot Games. The game takes place in a fantasy world featuring procedurally-generated blocks of varying shapes in a three-dimensional grid, offering different biomes, creatures, and dungeons.
