Hytale is a sandbox, role-playing, action-adventure video game developed and published by Hypixel Studios. The game runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. It takes place in the procedurally generated world of Orbis, where players can build using block-based systems while engaging in RPG-style combat and exploration. Community servers and server-side modding are supported.

Development started in 2015 with members of Hypixel’s Minecraft server team. Funding came from Riot Games, which acquired the studio in 2020. In June 2025, Riot cancelled the project, but it was later repurchased in November 2025 by its original creator, Simon Collins-Laflamme. He resumed development work on the game.

Hytale launched in early access on 13 January 2026 and received positive reviews. Within days of release, it surpassed one million players. Regular updates followed. Its first major expansion, Chapter 1, was previewed in July 2026. The game supports both single-player and multiplayer modes.
