What to know
- Create a Hytale account now at the official site to prepare for username tokens and pre-purchases opening ahead of early access.
- Reservations use email tokens (sent to early sign-ups) or occur post-pre-purchase; first-come, first-served with strict rules on characters and length.
- Usernames must be 3-16 characters using letters, numbers, underscores only; case-insensitive initially, adjustable later without cooldown.
- Reserved names lock to your profile after buying the game; no reselling or squatting allowed, or risk revocation per ToS.
You can snag your ideal Hytale username right now through the account system, especially if you signed up early for a token or plan to pre-purchase soon. With early access hitting January 13, 2026, acting fast avoids missing out on popular names.
