A Hat in Time

A Hat in Time is a 3D collect-a-thon platformer starring Hat Kid, a small traveler with a big heart and an even bigger hat. When her spaceship fuel — Time Pieces — scatters across the universe, she has to chase them down world by world while a rival named Mustache Girl schemes to take them for herself. If you enjoy tight jump controls, playful level design, and a steady stream of collectibles, this is the kind of game that keeps you exploring long after the credits roll.

This page covers the CUSA09267 USA build at v1.04, along with the older v1.02 package and the CUSA10028 EUR release. You'll find the full download set below, plus a breakdown of the DLC chapters, the badge system, and what each version includes so you can pick the right package before you start.

Technical Specifications

What Makes A Hat in Time Work

The core loop is simple and satisfying: land in a themed world, hunt down Time Pieces, and use whatever you collect to open new paths. Hat Kid's moveset grows as you progress, so you unlock new platforming abilities and additional combat moves rather than starting with a full toolkit. That pacing matters — early stages teach you to time jumps and read enemy patterns, and later stages expect you to combine those skills without hand-holding.

Badges are the customization layer. You attach them to your hat to change how you fight and move, which lets you spice up your attacks or lean into a playstyle that suits you. Because badges are swappable, experimentation is cheap — you can try a new combination before a tough section and adjust if it doesn't fit.

The tone is deliberately light. Hat Kid is a child protagonist with a lot of heart, and the writing leans into humor rather than melodrama. That makes the game approachable for younger players while the platforming still offers enough challenge for veterans of the genre. Fans of the collect-a-thon era will recognize the structure, but the presentation is modern and the controls are responsive.

DLC Content in Detail

Seal the Deal

This expansion adds an all-new chapter called The Arctic Cruise, which requires 35 Time Pieces to access. It also introduces Death Wish, an incredibly difficult mode gated behind 27 Time Pieces — a clear signal that it's meant for players who have already mastered the base game. Alongside those, you get six new Time Rifts and a large batch of cosmetic options: outfits, flairs, dyes, and camera filters.

Nyakuza Metro

The Nyakuza Metro chapter drops you into a deep underground district where lying, cheating, and a little stealing are part of daily life. You can join the Nyakuza and chase serious money, collect 10 new Time Pieces, and unlock stickers that attach to your weapon, work with the Camera Badge, or function as emotes. The Baseball Bat arrives as a new weapon, the Purple Time Rift Rumbi Factory opens up, and you get new flairs including the Nyakuza Mask, Burger Cap, and Artistic Vision. Two camera filters, three badges, and over 20 dyes round out the package.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Charming art direction and humor that fits the family-friendly premise.
• Pros: Badge customization gives real flexibility in how you approach combat and traversal.
• Pros: Two substantial DLC chapters add meaningful new content rather than cosmetic filler.
• Pros: Broad language support across nine languages.
• Cons: Death Wish mode is punishing and gated behind 27 Time Pieces, so newer players wait a while to try it.
• Cons: The Arctic Cruise chapter needs 35 Time Pieces before you can even enter it.
• Cons: File size and system requirements aren't published in this listing, so you'll need to check your setup before downloading.

Version Freshness and What Changed

The newest package here is CUSA09267 USA at v1.04, which is the build to grab if you want the current update alongside the DLC content. The v1.02 package for the same region is still listed for anyone who needs the earlier build, and the CUSA10028 EUR release covers European region users with English voice work plus English menus and subtitles. If you're comparing this release against other platformers in the same catalog, the A Hat in Time download page mirrors the same listing details.

Because the listing doesn't publish a changelog, treat v1.04 as the recommended build and keep the v1.02 files only if you specifically need that revision. The update files and the base game are provided separately in the download sections, so check which package you're pulling before you extract anything.

Installation Guidance

Each download section below includes its own password, and the passwords differ between mirrors — some use DLPSGAME.COM, others use hakko, puppeteer, downloadgames3.com, or POTATO. Read the password line in the section you're using rather than reusing one from another mirror. The download pages also link to a guide and a tool if you need help extracting or handling the package format.

Before you start, confirm your region: CUSA09267 is the USA title ID and CUSA10028 is the EUR title ID. Mixing update files across regions is a common source of errors, so match the update to the base game you downloaded.

Who Should Play It

If you grew up on 3D collect-a-thon platformers and want something that respects the formula without copying it outright, A Hat in Time fits neatly. The badge system rewards players who like to tinker, and the DLC chapters give completionists a reason to keep going after the main story. Younger players will connect with Hat Kid's design and the game's sense of humor, while the Death Wish mode exists for anyone who wants the platforming to push back hard.

If you're looking for a slower, story-heavy experience, this isn't that — the focus stays on movement, collecting, and quick reflexes. And if you need published system requirements before committing, note that this listing doesn't include them, so verify your hardware separately.
