    Let It Snow, Let It Grow

    Every few hours, a magical snowfall transforms the world of Steal My Brainrot into a winter wonderland of opportunity. When those first flakes start falling, it’s time to make strategic sacrifices for massive gains.

    Snow Schedule:

    • Weekdays: Snow falls every 3 hours
    • Weekends: Snow intensifies to every hour (because even brainrots deserve a festive weekend)

    The Great Christmas

    The snow is falling, the brainrots are mutating, and the rewards are multiplying. Welcome to the most chaotic Christmas celebration in HYTOPIA.

    When the snow falls, you can sacrifice your standard Snow Trait brainrots to unlock something special: Christmas Mutated Brainrots, complete with adorable and profitable hats.

    This isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade. While your standard snow brainrots generate 3x income, these festive mutations pump out a whopping 6x income. That’s double the earning power wrapped up in holiday cheer.

    But wait, there’s more! Every day during the event, head to the Christmas tree to claim your daily reward. It’s our way of saying thanks for being part of the most brain rotted Christmas celebration in HYTOPIA.

    No complicated quests, no impossible challenges; just show up, claim your prize, and watch your collection grow.

    Get Started

    The Steal My Brainrot Christmas Event is live NOW. Don’t let this limited opportunity melt away.

    Quick Start Guide:

    1. Watch for snowfall (every 3 hours weekdays, hourly on weekends).
    2. Sacrifice snow trait brainrots for Christmas mutations.
    3. Enjoy the 6x income boost.
    4. Visit the Christmas tree daily for free rewards.

    The snow is falling, the brainrots are waiting, and your Christmas fortune is just a mutation away.

    Unlock New Opportunities: HYTOPIA Expands $250K Creator Fund

    Today, we are thrilled to announce that we’re expanding the HYTOPIA Creator Fund from $125K to $250K in total funding.

    The response to our Creator Fund has been overwhelming, with a surge of interest from experienced Roblox developers. These creators, who have spent years mastering game development within Roblox’s ecosystem, are increasingly seeking new platforms that offer greater creative freedom, better economics, and modern web-native capabilities.

    What struck us most was the caliber of these Roblox developers and their ambitious visions for what’s possible when their proven expertise meets HYTOPIA’s cutting-edge technology. Many cited frustrations with platform limitations, revenue splits, and the desire for true cross-platform reach – challenges that HYTOPIA’s web-native approach directly addresses. The quality and scale of their proposals convinced us of one thing: these talented creators deserve a platform that matches their ambitions.

    With $250K in funding, we can now support more of these experienced developers as they transition to building breakthrough experiences on HYTOPIA. This means more flagship titles from proven game creators, more innovative gameplay mechanics that push beyond traditional platform constraints, and more opportunities for Roblox veterans to pioneer the next generation of truly cross-platform gaming.

    What This Means for Creators

    The expanded fund allows us to:

    • Support more studios without compromising on individual grant amounts
    • Maintain our full-service approach with dedicated engineering support, GTM assistance, and revenue-favorable partnerships
    • Take bigger creative risks with studios pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on web-native platforms

    This investment reinforces what makes HYTOPIA unique in the gaming ecosystem:

    • Your games work everywhere, instantly, without downloads or compatibility concerns.
    • Creator-First economics with full IP ownership retained.
    • Receive hands-on engineering support, marketing amplification, and direct community access.
    • Accessible to non-game developers and JavaScript developers

    Your Opportunity Awaits

    With $250K in funding now available, we’re making sure that good teams and good ideas don’t go unrealized. Whether you’re building innovative educational experiences, breakthrough social games, or entirely new gameplay genres, we’re here to support your vision.

    Applications are open now at https://creatorfund.hytopia.com/

    The future of gaming won’t be built by incremental improvements to existing platforms, it will emerge from creators bold enough to build on fundamentally new foundations. We’re expanding our investment because we believe that the future starts now.

    Roblox Powerhouse IROC Studios becomes the first studio committed to build on HYTOPIA

    Today, we’re thrilled to announce IROC Studios as the inaugural partner in our HYTOPIA Creator Fund program. This partnership tells a compelling story about creative evolution: how successful developers continue pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers to bring their biggest visions to life.

    Meet IROC Studios: A Proven Powerhouse on Roblox

    With over 15 years of experience in game development, IROC Studios has established itself as one of the most popular and fastest-growing studios on Roblox. Their flagship title, Game Store Tycoon, has captivated players worldwide with over 110 million game visits and built a thriving community of more than 3 million fans.

    What makes IROC Studios special isn’t just their impressive numbers; it’s their ability to create engaging, community-driven experiences that keep players coming back. As a leading force among the platform’s next generation of creators, they represent exactly the kind of battle-tested talent we’re excited to support through the Creator Fund.

    Introducing Pawtopia: Adventure Awaits in the Voxel World

    IROC Studios is bringing their expertise to HYTOPIA with Pawtopia, an ambitious pet collection simulator and adventure game that perfectly showcases what’s possible on our platform. Set in a magical voxel-based world, Pawtopia invites players to explore lush forests, crystal caverns, and mystical mountain paths while hatching, collecting, and leveling up uniquely designed cube-shaped pets.

    From loyal cats and playful dogs to majestic dragons and rare jungle beasts, each pet is crafted to match HYTOPIA’s colorful aesthetic while offering distinct gameplay mechanics. As players adventure through the world, their pets become valuable companions, helping them smash piles of square coins, uncover hidden loot, and unlock new realms. The deeper you explore together, the stronger your bond, and your pets,become.

    The Natural Evolution of Successful Developers

    What’s particularly exciting about this partnership is what it represents: talented developers with proven track records choosing to expand their creative reach. IROC Studios didn’t come to HYTOPIA because they needed to, they came because they wanted to explore what their next breakthrough might look like.

    This resonates with a broader trend we’re seeing. Accomplished developers from various platforms, particularly those who’ve found success on Roblox, are increasingly curious about new creative opportunities. They’ve mastered their current environments and are ready to see what’s possible when they have access to different tools, support structures, and creative possibilities.

    The Broader Movement

    While IROC Studios is our first Creator Fund partner, they’re part of a larger conversation happening among successful developers. We’re already hearing from other accomplished creators; many with strong Roblox backgrounds, who are exploring what their next creative chapter might look like.

    The gaming landscape continues evolving, and the most successful developers are those who stay ahead of these shifts. They’re not abandoning what works; they’re expanding their creative toolkit and exploring new opportunities to connect with players in fresh ways.

    A Signal for the Industry

    When established developers like IROC Studios with millions of plays and loyal communities, choose to bring their biggest creative visions to a new platform, it sends a meaningful signal. It suggests that talented creators see opportunity in exploring new creative frontiers, even when they’re already successful elsewhere.

    For other developers with proven track records, particularly those who’ve built something meaningful on Roblox, IROC Studios’ choice represents validation that creative expansion and platform exploration can be smart strategic moves.
