Hytale: Can I Upgrade Standard and Supported Editions Later? How Much Will I Need to Pay?

What to know

• Edition upgrades are supported during Early Access
• You only pay the difference between editions
• All upgrades include previous-tier content automatically
• Extras are cosmetic-only, with no gameplay advantage

If you’re starting Early Access with a lower-tier edition of Hytale, you’re not locked in forever. Hypixel Studios has confirmed that edition upgrades are flexible, letting you move up whenever you’re ready without repurchasing the game.

Below is a breakdown of how upgrades work, what you’ll pay, and what carries over.

Hytale editions and pricing

How upgrading your Hytale edition works

Upgrading is straightforward. If you didn't already purchase the Cursebreaker Edition, when you decide to move to a higher tier, you only pay the difference between what you already own and the new edition.

You do not lose progress, cosmetics, or account benefits when upgrading—everything stacks cleanly on your existing account.

Example upgrade costing

• Standard → Supporter: ~$15
• Supporter → Cursebreaker: ~$35
• Standard → Cursebreaker: ~$49

What happens to your existing content after upgrading

When you upgrade:

• All cosmetics from lower tiers remain unlocked
• New cosmetics are added instantly
• Your Early Access and full-game access remain unchanged

There are no gameplay bonuses, stat boosts, or progression advantages tied to higher editions. The system is designed to reward support, not power.

When you can upgrade your edition

You can upgrade:

• During Early Access
• After starting with any lower edition
• Without restarting or creating a new account

There’s no pressure to decide up front. You can wait until you’re sure you want the extra cosmetics.

Why Hytale uses a price-difference upgrade model

Hytale uses a price-difference upgrade model to let you start playing at a lower cost while keeping the option to support the game more later. It prevents double-paying for content, makes Early Access more accessible, and allows players to upgrade only when they’re confident the game and cosmetic extras are worth it.
