Hypixel Studios released the official system requirements for Hytale for its early access launch on January 13, 2026. Here's everything you need to know about running the game on your PC.
Hytale Minimum System Requirements
These specs will let you run Hytale at 1080p with 30 FPS on lower settings:
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-7500 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 |
| RAM | 8GB (dedicated GPU) / 12GB (integrated GPU) |
| GPU (Integrated) | Intel UHD Graphics 620 / AMD Radeon Vega 3 |
| GPU (Dedicated) | NVIDIA GTX 900 Series / AMD Radeon 400 Series / Intel Arc A-Series |
| Storage | 20GB free space (SSD required) |
| Network | 2 Mbit/s for multiplayer |
Hytale Recommended System Requirements
For a smoother experience at 1080p and 60 FPS:
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| RAM | 16GB |
| GPU (Integrated) | Intel Iris Xe / AMD Radeon 660M |
| GPU (Dedicated) | NVIDIA GTX 900 Series or better |
| Storage | 20GB free space (SSD required) |
| Network | 8 Mbit/s for multiplayer |
Storage Requirements
The base Hytale installation takes about 8GB, but your save files will grow as you explore the world. Hypixel Studios recommends having at least 10GB of free space available, with 20GB being a safe bet for extended gameplay.
An SSD is required for both minimum and recommended specs. The game won't run well on traditional hard drives.
What Affects Performance in Hytale?
Hytale is a voxel-based game, which means CPU and RAM matter more than your graphics card in many situations. Here are the main factors that impact performance:
- View distance is the biggest factor. Doubling your view distance quadruples the workload on your system.
- Singleplayer is more demanding than multiplayer since your PC has to run both the game client and the server.
- Mods will increase hardware demands depending on what they add to the game.
Can I Run Hytale on Mac or Linux?
Hytale launched with native Mac (Apple Silicon) and Linux support alongside the Windows version. Mac requires an M1 chip or newer — Intel Macs are not supported. See our Hytale Mac guide for details.
Can My PC Run Hytale?
If you can run modern games like Minecraft with shaders or other recent titles at 1080p, you should be fine with Hytale. The requirements are reasonable for a 2026 release.
For the best experience, prioritize having 16GB of RAM and an SSD. These two components will make the biggest difference for voxel games like Hytale.
