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!
Before you can run, it's good to rest. We expect to be back around 2PM UTC.
The Hive will go down for Sonic the Hedgehog maintenance at:
Monday, July 12th 12PM UTC
We expect to go live with the Sonic experience at 2PM UTC, but this time may be adjusted for technical reasons.
Six party games, over 20 FREE themed Ring Shop-cosmetics, one free global skinpack, and a weekend surprise; this is going to be an event to remember.
To resolve queuing issues, we are performing maintenance on the North America region. You'll automatically join Europe during this time.
We are performing maintenance on the North America region to work on lag- and stutter issues.
Players will be redirected to our Europe region.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
We're applying some minor fixes and VIP-rank related changes. We'll be back very soon.
We will be performing extensive backend maintenance today, November 2nd.
This only concerns boring, non-visible technical aspects of The Hive - no public facing changes or features will be introduced.
We currently do not have an estimated time of completion.
