The early access release of Hytale is right around the corner, with the countdown until players can dive into the game rapidly approaching a conclusion, and there’s plenty of multiplayer details to digest.
Hytale’s early access release is set for January 13 on PC, with thousands of players across the world expected to dive in immediately after what has certainly been a rollercoaster ride with development, particularly in the past year.
If you’re looking for all the multiplayer details for Hytale, Insider Gaming has you covered.
Does Hytale Have Multiplayer?
Yes, multiplayer is supported in Hytale and is a crucial part of the game, although the title can still be enjoyed as a single-player.
Hytale will operate with servers that are available privately and publicly, allowing you to play with a group of friends, with a variety of players from across the world, or on your own.
No details are currently available on the maximum number of players that can be online in a single server at any given time, and the total may be expanded or reduced in the future as development continues.
Other multiplayer features, including proximity chat, are confirmed to be in the works and will arrive in a future update.
Does Hytale Have Co-op?
Yes, co-op is available in Hytale, though is not required, and you can opt to approach the game in a PvP style instead.
Servers in Hytale will allow both approaches, though some may be restricted to PvE, and the choice is yours when hosting your own game. If you want to explore and progress with your friends, that’s entirely possible, but you can also pit yourselves against them.
Unsurprisingly, this is similar to the approach in Minecraft, and there will be options to lock chests and items, if you choose, to prevent other players from accessing them.
Full details on the multiplayer settings have not been fully revealed, but are expected to surface before the early access release date, and there will be a host of updates in the future to expand the feature, not to mention the vast possibilities that will be unlocked through modding in the community.
