System Requirements for Hytale, Minecraft-Like Game, Revealed!
System requirements for Hytale, developed by HYPIXEL STUDIOS, have been revealed. The game is coming very soon.
Hytale requires a 64-bit processor and operating system.
Minimum Requirements (1080p @ 30 FPS)
- Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit (v1809), Windows 11
- CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 equivalent
- RAM:
- Single-player with dedicated GPU: 8 GB
- Single-player with integrated GPU: 12 GB
- Multiplayer: 8 GB
- GPU:
- Integrated: Intel UHD 620, AMD Radeon Vega 6
- Dedicated: NVIDIA GTX 900 Series, AMD Radeon 400 Series, Intel Arc A Series
- Note: Requires up-to-date drivers with at least OpenGL 4.1 support. Vulkan 1.3 and DirectX 12 support may be required in the future.
- Storage: 20 GB free space on SATA SSD
- Network: 2 Mbit/s (UDP/QUIC compatible)
Tip: Tests with Intel HD 630 achieved ~30–34 FPS. Limiting view distance to 192 blocks improves performance.
Recommended Requirements (1080p @ 60 FPS)
- Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit (v1809), Windows 11
- CPU: Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 equivalent
- RAM: 16 GB
- GPU:
- Integrated: Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon 660M
- Dedicated: NVIDIA GTX 900 Series, AMD Radeon 400 Series, Intel Arc A Series
- Storage: 20 GB free space on NVMe SSD
- Network: 8 Mbit/s (UDP/QUIC compatible)
Storage Requirements
Hytale's world is procedurally generated and can theoretically grow infinitely. Estimated storage during normal gameplay:
- Installation size: 8 GB
- Saved game:
- 5000x5000 blocks: ~661 MB
- 32x32 chunks: ~27 KB
Recommendation: At least 10 GB free space, 20 GB for long-term play. SSD strongly recommended.
Network Requirements
Hytale is downloaded digitally; single-player can be played offline. Multiplayer bandwidth depends on view distance:
- 192 blocks: Minimum 2 Mbit/s, recommended 4 Mbit/s
- 384 blocks: Minimum 4.5 Mbit/s, recommended 7 Mbit/s
- 480 blocks: Minimum 6 Mbit/s, recommended 10 Mbit/s
Note: Minigames use very little bandwidth. Normal exploration mode may run fine with 1 Mbit/s ADSL.
Content Creator & Streamer Requirements (1440p @ 60 FPS)
Recommended system for high-quality recording or streaming:
- Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit (v1809), Windows 11
- CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
- RAM: 32 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 30 Series, AMD RX 7000 Series, Intel Arc A Series
- Storage: NVMe SSD, 50 GB free recommended
Note: Using a separate drive for recording ensures stable FPS.
How Hytale Uses Hardware
Single-Player
Your computer runs both the game client and server. CPU and RAM usage are higher, especially for NPCs, world generation, and voxel calculations.
Multiplayer
The server runs remotely. Your PC only handles graphics and game processing, usually resulting in better performance.
Mods
Mods increase CPU and GPU load. Large content packs or extended view distance raise system requirements.
View Distance
The most critical performance setting is view distance. Doubling view distance quadruples the number of blocks and NPCs, heavily taxing your PC.
Recommendation: Experience Hytale at 384 blocks view distance. Adjust based on your system.
