All regions will be down for maintenance today, September 22nd.

This maintenance includes preparations for an upcoming content update, which will be released independently from this maintenance in the near future.

Update: our website is back online. Stay tuned for new website functionality coming in the near future!

Our main website and blog at playhive.com will be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Other websites, including our support portal, will remain available during this time.

playhive.com may fail to load, show an error page, or ask for authorization. This is normal and part of this maintenance.

The Hive will be down for global maintenance today, April 3rd. During this time, all regions are unavailable.

During this time, we are making multiple backend and infrastructure changes. Because of this, we have no set ending time for this maintenance. We appreciate your patience and will be back online as soon as we can.

In addition to nonpublic facing changes, the following minor changes and improvements are releasing:

• Added the /joinfriend (/jf) command
• The current XP reward, from login streaks, now shows the correct number for streaks under 11 days
• Fixed party invites revealing players appearing offline
• Fixed various commands revealing player nicknames
• The party invite command is now case-insensitive
• Various error messages are now properly translated, rather than always being in English
• Fixed the /party and /friend commands having the same "tab completions"/command suggestions, despite having different subcommands
• Resolved a potential kick when modifying multiple preferences in BlockParty
• Implemented a speculative fix, which should resolve Custom Server presets not loading at times

The Hive will be down for global maintenance today, March 7th. During this time, all regions are unavailable.

This maintenance adds support for an upcoming version of Minecraft. We are NOT removing any currently supported versions. We have no plans to drop any versions in the near future.

Today and tomorrow, August 8th & 9th, we will be performing version support maintenance across all regions. There will be no complete downtime - however, certain regions may be unavailable at times, and you may be redirected to an alternative region.

We will NOT be removing support for any currently supported version of Minecraft.

As we PREPARE for our Arcade update, our Europe network will be temporarily unavailable. Players will join North America during this time.

We have no set time for the Arcade update releasing. This does not in any way indicate a release time.

In order to prepare for our Winter Update, all regions will be undergoing maintenance at various times. At least one region will be available at all times.

This is a preparation maintenance window - the actual content will not release until Saturday, December 11th.

To prepare for an upcoming version of Minecraft, our North America and Europe regions will be temporarily unavailable for maintenance. Players will connect to Asia during this time.

Thank you all for participating in our Sonic the Hedgehog x Hive collaboration! The event is now ending, and we're down for maintenance.

Any cosmetics you unlocked through either the Ring Shop or participating in games and the live event will remain permanently.

We hope you enjoyed the event!

We are seeing record-high demand for our Asia region, which is resulting in a suboptimal experience for players in that region. We will be adding significant capacity in the upcoming days to ensure a smooth Sonic experience.

Thank you all for your kind words regarding the update so far!
