Hytale kicks off with its first update, stacking new NPCs and QoL fixes
Hytale’s first update brings a broad slate of fixes and quality‑of‑life improvements across world-building, NPCs, crafting, farming, audio and UI, plus new content. Dinosaurs and other NPCs join the underground jungles (with placeholder behaviours while they're refined), new environmental effects in the Devastated Lands and volcanic areas, and gameplay tweaks like easier backpack access, faster leather crafting, and mob balance changes. The patch emphasizes a rapid cadence of updates and ongoing modding support, with Eurogamer praising the launch as a polished, promising foundation for the title’s future.
