Last day for Neon Tiger Costume

All good things come to an end - and the same goes for the availability of the Neon Tiger Costume.

Tomorrow, we're welcoming The Secretary as April's Quest Costume. Woof!

Changes to (custom) skin support

We're changing our support for custom skins: custom geometry ("4D Skins") will now be fully blocked. Read more HERE.

This is Microsoft policy and not up for debate with Hive staff.

Just Build: more voting options & in-game reporting

This update is currently only available on our EUROPE and North America regions.

We've added two much requested features to Just Build!

NEW VOTE OPTIONS: Two new vote options are now available: "Okay" and "Great"

IN-GAME REPORTING: Whether inappropriate or off-topic, you can now report builds that don't follow the rules or theme.

We will closely monitor the reporting feature to make sure it achieves it goals without any side effects.

Europe and Asia Scheduled Maintenance

UPDATE: This maintenance is finished, all regions are back online.

We will be taking down Europe and Asia for scheduled maintenance tonight, at 23:00 UTC. You can find the CURRENT time in UTC here.

Traffic will be redirected to our North America region during this time.

We have identified multiple points of improvements over the last week, which we will be rolling out to these regions. The Hive aims to have unlimited capacity to accommodate all players - tonight's maintenance will help us achieve this.

To be clear, nothing new will be added during this maintenance.
