Pricing

Free to play, forever. Pay only for cosmetics, an ad-free season, and convenience — never for an edge.

Pricing shown is provisional. Every figure below is an early estimate — final pricing is still to be determined.

Two ways to play

Prices below are provisional (TBD).

Free
£0forever
  • Every mode — ranked, 1v1, 2v2, and Live Rooms
  • The full game, no paywalls, no energy timers
  • Ad-supported (format still being designed)
  • Never a competitive disadvantage
Best for regulars
£25/ season provisional

Hyve Premium — the only cash path. The pass, ad-free, plus a head start.

  • No ads for the entire season
  • The seasonal battle pass included
  • 5 tier skips — a real head start (~1/6 of the pass)
  • + more perks (TBD)

Gems

Gems are the in-app currency you buy with real money. They unlock cosmetics, battle passes, and extras — they never affect matchmaking or ranking.

Pack sizes & prices are provisional (TBD). Bigger packs include more gems per £.

120 gems £0.99
550 gems £4.99
1,200 gems £9.99
3,300 gems £24.99
Best value per £ 7,000 gems £49.99

Spend gems on the seasonal battle pass, cosmetic items, and (coming) Live Room visibility boosts.

Seasonal

Battle Pass

Around 30 tiers of rewards each season, across a free track everyone earns and a premium track. Rewards are cosmetic and progression flavour — never a competitive advantage.

1,200 gems ≈ £9.99 in gems provisional

Included free with Hyve Premium — so you don't spend the gems separately.

The fine print, said plainly

Never pay-to-win

Gems, the battle pass, and Premium only change cosmetics, ads, and convenience. They never touch matchmaking, MMR, or your ranking. You climb on skill alone.

Ads, honestly

The free tier is ad-supported. The exact format, frequency, and placement are still being designed — so we are not showing mock ad units here.

How seasons work

Each season brings a fresh battle pass. Hyve Premium is bought per season — not a locked-in rolling subscription you have to remember to cancel.

Coming later

Gem-powered visibility boosts in Live Rooms are on the roadmap. The mechanic is still an open design question, so it is not priced yet.
