The devs are expecting over 1 million players on launch, which is absolutely massive for an early access title released outside of Steam. You can download the launcher now by going to https://hytale.com/download to be prepared!

Looking forward to it, but I'll give it a day or so to read some first impressions before deciding on whether to buy.

I went ahead and downloaded the launcher and made an account. I'm not purchasing yet tho. The launcher and login work on Linux so far but that's hardly the bar. It is nice to see they have the download for that up already. Still wary that Linux will be ignored or deprioritized into oblivion.

Happy to see hytale releasing after all those years and hurdles <3

I bet the servers will be busted day 1 anyway. There doesn't seem to be preloading so the ~1 million expected people will try downloading the game at the same time which will definitely take down the servers. It's smart to wait.
