Minecraft rival Hytale skips Steam at launch to dodge negative reviews, and its developer says it “might never need” Valve’s store

Hytale will not be available on Steam at its early access launch in January 2026. The game, originally canceled by Riot Games, has been revived by its creator Simon Collins-Laflamme and his team at Hypixel Studios, which prefers using its own launcher. Executive director Patrick 'Lyall' Derbic stated that they do not see Steam as a necessity and want to focus on community feedback. The game will be released in a rough state to encourage collaborative development. The initial release will be limited to PC, with plans for Mac and Linux support to be determined later, and console versions expected afterward. Premium editions will offer exclusive content during early access, but this will not carry over to the full release. There will be no pay-to-win options, and modders can create visual mods without overriding official cosmetics. Some features, like pets and tamable animals, will not be available at launch, nor will proximity chat, although it is nearing completion.
