Hytale, having been revived by the same people who sold it off way back when, is now back in the spotlight. Players are now wondering when the game will release, how much it will cost, and, as interests us here, what platforms it’ll be available on.
If you’re in that last batch, here’s all you need to know about potential platforms Hytale will release on.
Hytale platforms, explained
As of this article, Hytale is only going to release on PC, particularly Microsoft Windows. There appear to be additional plans to expand into macOS and Linux to capture the entirety of the PC market, but it’s fair to assume this will happen way later down the line.
The reason for this is simple: Minecraft, where Hypixel first came to be, is primarily a PC experience, and though it did eventually release on every platform under the sun, that wasn’t the case for quite some time. Additionally, Minecraft only really started branching out after Microsoft acquired it, bringing untold money and resources along with it.
Hypixel has just completed its reacquisition of Hytale from Riot Games, and is likely going to focus on getting the game out and developing it alongside the community, turning it into the experience it was meant to be. This is supposed to happen as soon as possible, according to Hypixel founder Simon Collins-Laflamme, and will likely be exclusive to Windows and PC for the foreseeable future.
That isn’t to say Hytale won’t come out on PS5 and Xbox, among other platforms. If anything, one should expect it to, given that it’s aiming to compete with Minecraft and would be leaving a lot on the table by avoiding consoles and handheld devices. Hytale can be a new vessel for casual gamers, so it’s safe to say we’ll see Hytale outside of the PC sphere at some point.
When exactly is anyone’s guess.
