Hytale has released its PC performance and system requirements for the game, which is scheduled to go into early access on January 13, 2026.
Hytale System Requirements
Hytale requires both a 64-bit processor and operating system.
● Minimum: Targeting 30+ FPS at 1080p on Low preset.
● Recommended: Targeting 60+ FPS at 1080p on High preset.
● Creator/Streamer: Stable framerate with high-quality video capture and streaming at
1440p.
These categories reflect actual in-house testing across low-end integrated GPUs, mid-range
laptops, and high-end recording setups.
Minimum Requirements (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 3○
Dedicated:
■ NVIDIA GTX 900 Series
■ AMD Radeon 400 Series
■ Intel Arc A-Series
Deprecation notice: Support for Vulkan 1.3 will be required in the future.
● Storage: SATA SSD with 20 GB of free space
● Network: 2 Mbit/s connection for multiplayer (UDP/QUIC compatible).
Based on benchmarks where Intel HD Graphics 630 achieved ~30–34 FPS at 1080p. We definitely recommend setting the “view distance” to 192 blocks. Ensure that no other programs are running to guarantee performance.
Recommended Requirements (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
Deprecation notice: Support for Vulkan 1.3 will be required in the future.
● Storage: SSD with 20 GB of free space
● Network: 8 Mbit/s connection for multiplayer (UDP/QUIC compatible)
Storage Requirements
Hytale procedurally generates a world that can, in practice, grow without a fixed limit. Based on extensive playtime in exploration mode, we found these numbers to be representative of a normal playthrough. Keep in mind: the more you explore, customize, and build with a wide variety of blocks, the more memory and storage the game will require.
● Installation size: 8 GB
● Saved game size (in Exploration mode):
○ ~661 MB for 5000×5000 blocks
○ ~27 KB per 32×32 chunk
Recording / Streamer Requirements (1440p @ 60 FPS)
For players who want to record, stream, or produce Hytale content with stable framerates during high-bitrate capture. The goal here is not raw FPS but consistent frametime under heavy load (large battles, complex builds, high view distance, simultaneous server simulation if in singleplayer).
Suggested Setup
● OS: 64-bit Windows 10 (version 1809), Windows 11
● CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K (or equivalent), AMD Ryzen 9 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.
One internal benchmark (AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, NVIDIA RTX 5080, 2×32 GB DDR5-6000) sustained around 400 FPS at 3840×1440 resolution with view distance set to 768 blocks in singleplayer while recording the game in AV1. This tier is optional but helpful for creators who want stable 60+ FPS at high resolutions during recording sessions.
