Hytale is a ton of fun in early access…if you’re able to get onto the game.
Buying and playing Hytale requires making an account with Hypixel, the developers of the game, but some players are having problems getting past that point in the process. Dozens upon dozens of gamers are reporting problems with the sign-up operation, and that’s no fun for anyone.
Here’s what we know so far about Hytale’s verification code emails having problems.
Hytale email verification code not sending
On launch day of Hytale’s early access (Jan. 13, 2026), many players are reporting issues with receiving their verification code email, which is a requirement for signing up to play the game. This is due to the system being overloaded with players all attempting to do so.
Hypixel Studios head Simon Collins-Laflamme remarked in the days leading up to launch that they were expecting to have issues, and warned players to download and log in to the launcher “to help us significantly reduce launch-day stress.”
Simon again posted on Twitter/X on Jan. 13, saying this: “We are seeing a VERY HIGH rate of new Hytale players; there might be issues with login/emails. It’s slowly catching up!”
I signed up for Hytale a week prior to launch and received this email shortly after:
Some users are reporting that the emails are being sent out slowly and waiting for 15-20 minutes will suffice, while others are saying that the messages are not being received at all, which means that there’s probably a bigger issue at hand due to the game’s popularity at launch.
Currently, there’s no fix for the verification code email issue other than waiting for it to appear. Hypixel Studios is likely overwhelmed with demand for this, and their systems may be experiencing issues as players attempt to make accounts and purchase the game as the hype builds.
You can join the official Hytale Discord server to post there and let the devs know that you’re having issues, and to also stay tuned for official communications about the game.
