HypeHype Creator Update - Live Gaming is here (early access in fall 2025)

For the last 5 years we’ve been building a mobile-first game editor and platform. We made something powerful, but we failed to make it simple or fun enough for everyone. In practice, only a small group of super-talented creators and developers managed to push through the complexity and build amazing game experiences that kept players engaged. To all of you: HUGE THANK YOU. You’ve shown what’s possible.

Live Gaming brings creators and players into the same real‑time session. The host creator can change rules and environments on the fly while players join instantly; it’s like live streaming, except the audience actually plays with you. We believe live gaming and creating makes play experience more fun, social, and surprising.

Creator chooses game or playground to play and create with.

- Creator goes LIVE as the host of the play session, shaping a game in real time.

- Players can jump in instantly and play along.

- The Live Creator reacts to players’ choices, ideas, and feedback, twists the rules, transforms the environment on the fly, making every session unique, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

- With full voice and video support on mobile, the Live Creator guides the session, so it feels like live streaming, except the audience is not just watching it - but instead they are playing it together with the Live Creator.

We’re rebuilding the experience around Live Gaming and testing it in early access, so the feed shows only LIVE events hosted by Live Creators. Non‑hosted games aren’t discoverable or playable from the feed right now. Our LIVE hosted beta playtests in the summer showed that players engaged more when a Live Creator runs the gaming session and creates together with them.

We’re in early access. Features and experience can change as we iterate. The app and our webpage always reflects the latest status.

Yes. If you edited or published before the update, you keep editor access and can continue building. Non‑hosted games simply won’t be playable to others in‑app during this new Live Gaming early access phase.

In the future Live Creators can select a game or playground and go LIVE, play & shape it in real time with the players.

If you are interested in building for this new LIVE format, or convert your current project into it, apply and we’ll come back to you.

LIVE‑format build access is being granted during early access. Tell us you want in and we’ll continue from that.

All monetisation, in-game purchases and engagement-based earnings are paused. Creators can cash out existing balance at any time.

During the transitioning month, we will pay 50% of creators last month’s (August 2025) revenue as a one‑time payment in October. We will be in touch with creators on how you can keep making new Live game experiences and continue earning in the future.

Engagement payouts, game jams, competitions and in‑game purchases are all paused during the LIVE early access. We’ll communicate future monetisation and earning options as they’re ready.

During the transitioning month, we will pay 50% of creators last month’s (August 2025) revenue as a one‑time payment in October. We will be in touch with creators on how you can keep making new Live game experiences and continue earning in the future.

To receive your earnings, you must agree to our Terms of Service and meet the simple requirements set out in those Terms, some of which are as follows

Apply to become a Live Creator and join the Discord to discuss with the community and HypeHype team.

No. It uses live‑style hosting, but players can actually join and play with the creator in real time. Creator can also edit the game or world in real time. Those are core differences from live streaming.

Yes of course! LIVE Creating runs in‑app and needs access (apply), but you can always live stream your HypeHype gaming to YouTube or other platforms!

HypeHype LIVE supports full voice and video on mobile. It can be turned on or off. We’ll keep improving options.

We're sorry to hear this! Please update to the latest build, restart the app/device, and try again. If issues persist, contact Support and share device/OS details and a short screen recording.

At this point we don’t make money.

This is on purpose as we are still in early access and building the foundation of HypeHype together with you. 

Our goal is to drive as much money to you and creators while we develop, maintain, and improve HypeHype.

We're constantly developing and updating the tools and technology that powers the platform and empowers our creator community.

During the early access of Live Gaming we might need to modify the features, rules and eligibility requirements at any time and for any reason.

We are very much open to feedback!
