I am excited for the release of Hytale. I plan on "pre-purchasing" it in December. However, like 1xok and hardpenguin, I have number of questions/concerns. I glanced at the website, but could not easily find the answers to my questions. I was not particularly interested in asking my questions on Discord. The easiest and most definitive source that I found was on the Shockbyte website: https://shockbyte.com/blog/hytale-release-date [External Link]

1. My first question was about what platforms are supported (From Shockbyte):
"At launch, Hytale will be available on Windows only. Other platforms (Mac, Linux, consoles) are a long-term goal, but the devs are taking a “no promises” approach. Right now, the focus is on getting the game stable and playable for PC users."

2. Will Hytale be on Steam? (From Shockbyte):
No official confirmation yet, but it seems likely in the future. For now, it’ll have its own launcher.

3. My third question was cost (From Shockbyte):
"Hytale Early Access Pricing:
Base Game – $19.99
Supporter Edition – $34.99
Cursebreaker Founder’s Pack – $69.99
None of these versions offer gameplay advantages"

4. My last question is:
If I purchase the early access edition from Hypixel Studios, will the worlds that I create transfer to Steam when/if the game is released on Steam? This is likely my biggest concern.
