Start preparing for your upcoming adventure in Hytale by ensuring your PC can handle its expansive worlds. Whether you’re aiming for minimum performance or a buttery-smooth gaming experience, follow the developer’s recommendations to help you get ready. So, keep reading to learn the system requirements and recommended specs for Hytale to optimize your setup for launch day.

Hytale System Requirements

Hypixel Studios Inc., the developer behind Hytale, mentioned in a post that they aim to broaden accessibility while ensuring performance for PC, and soon for Linux and Mac systems. With that, the following system requirements have been categorized to allow players to check the optimal efficiency at which this game can run on their PCs. For starters, Hytale’s procedurally generated worlds may take up significant storage space. So, the developer needs at least 10 GB of available storage space to prepare for the game’s installation. However, 20 GB is the sweet spot, ensuring players can enjoy the game for extended periods without worrying about storage issues. Additionally, use an SSD to help reduce loading times.

Minimum System Requirements for 1080p @ 30 FPS

• OS: 64-bit Windows 10 (version 1809), Windows 11
• CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 (or equivalent), AMD Ryzen 3 1200 (or equivalent)
• RAM: Singleplayer, with dedicated graphics: 8 GB Singleplayer, with integrated graphics: 12 GB Multiplayer-only: 8 GB
• GPU: Integrated: Intel UHD Graphics 620 AMD Radeon Vega 6 Dedicated: NVIDIA GTX 900 Series AMD Radeon 400 Series Intel Arc A-Series Note: A graphics card with up-to-date drivers supporting at least OpenGL 4.1 is required. Future versions of Hytale may additionally require support for Vulkan 1.3 and DirectX 12.
• Storage: SATA SSD with 20 GB of free space
• Network: 2 Mbit/s connection for multiplayer (UDP/QUIC compatible).

Recommended System Requirements for 1080p @ 60 FPS

• OS: 64-bit Windows 10 (version 1809), Windows 11
• CPU: Intel Core i5-10400 (or equivalent), AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (or equivalent)
• RAM: 16 GB
• GPU: Integrated: Intel Iris Xe Graphics AMD Radeon 660M Dedicated: NVIDIA GTX 900 Series AMD Radeon 400 Series Intel Arc A-Series Note: A graphics card with up-to-date drivers supporting at least OpenGL 4.1 is required. Future versions of Hytale may additionally require support for Vulkan 1.3 and DirectX 12.
• Storage: NVMe SSD with 20 GB of free space
• Network: 8 Mbit/s connection for multiplayer (UDP/QUIC compatible)

Recommended System Requirements for 1440p @ 60 FPS (Recording/Streaming Setup)

• OS: 64-bit Windows 10 (version 1809), Windows 11
• CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K (or equivalent), AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (or equivalent)
• RAM: 32 GB
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 30 Series AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series Intel Arc A-series Note: These recommendations are made as newer graphics cards provide much better video quality for a given bitrate, especially for livestreaming scenarios. If supported, we also strongly recommend the use of AV1 / HEVC for video recording.
• Storage: NVMe SSD with at least 10% (or 50 GB) of free space available. Note: For best performance, we recommend using a separate drive for video recording.

Hytale Network Requirements

Remember, Hytale can be played solo in “Offline Mode.” Multiplayer is available, but consider the game’s set view distance, as environment loading and rendering times can depend on the network environment. For that, your download speed plays a more important role than the upload speed. Additionally, the developer provided the recommended view distances, depending on your network’s download speeds:

• View Distance: 192 blocks Minimum: 2 Mbit/s Recommended: 4 Mbit/s
• View Distance: 384 blocks Minimum: 4.5 Mbit/s Recommended: 7 Mbit/s
• View Distance: 480 blocks Minimum: 6 Mbit/s Recommended: 10 Mbit/s

Other Technical Points to Consider

Hytale’s developer would like to remind its player base that this game is a sandbox voxel title. That means that it relies more on RAM and CPU performance than other games within a similar sandbox space, particularly those that primarily use pixels. With that, consider upgrading your CPU if your GPU meets the minimum requirements. Doing so should make Hytale run better than upgrading to a faster graphics card. Also, at the time of writing, the developer is still continuing their efforts in developing system requirements for Linux and Mac systems, especially older Intel Macs and newer M1+ Apple processors. Additionally, Hypixel Studios mentioned that testing on Steam Deck isn’t feasible, as they’re still assessing compliance with Steam’s policies.
