Credit: Hypixel Studios Hypixel Studios announced that the cube-based sandbox Hytale will cost $20. This will be the standard edition, but those wishing to support the game during Early Access will be able to purchase the Supporter ($35) and Cursebreaker ($70, a subtle reference to Hytale's unexpected rescue from closure).
