Recently, the developers of the voxel sandbox Hytale announced the exact release date, and now the system requirements have become known. According to Hypixel Studios, their main goal is to ensure the game is widely accessible while maintaining scale, simulation and modding capabilities. The specified requirements are based on internal tests and will be adjusted as optimization progresses.
Minimum (1080p, 30 FPS)
- OS: Windows 10 (64-bit, version 1809), Windows 11
- Processor: Intel Core i5-7500, AMD Ryzen 3 1200
- RAM: 8 GB
- Video card: NVIDIA GTX 900 Series, AMD Radeon 400 Series, Intel Arc A-Series
- Free memory: 20 GB (SSD)
- Internet speed (for multiplayer): 2 Mbps
Recommended (1080p, 60 FPS)
- OS: Windows 10 (64-bit, version 1809), Windows 11
- Processor: Intel Core i5-10400, AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- RAM: 16 GB
- Video card: NVIDIA GTX 900 Series, AMD Radeon 400 Series, Intel Arc A-Series
- Free memory: 20 GB (SSD)
- Internet speed (for multiplayer): 8 Mbps
Recommended for recording/streaming (1440p, 60 FPS)
- OS: Windows 10 (64-bit, version 1809), Windows 11
- Processor: Intel Core i7-10700K, AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
- RAM: 32 GB
- Video card: NVIDIA RTX 30 Series, AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series, Intel Arc A-Series
- Free memory: at least 10% free memory on SSD or 50 GB
- Internet speed (for multiplayer): 8 Mbps
The most critical parameter affecting performance is the “Draw Distance”. Doubling this radius results in a fourfold increase in the number of blocks and NPCs processed by the computer. The developers recommend playing with a drawing distance of 384 blocks, since this is the distance the Orbis world was designed for. If the hardware does not allow it, you can reduce the figure to 192 blocks.
Network requirements depend on the rendering distance. With the recommended 384 blocks, a stable game requires 7 Mbps, however, when playing on small maps or mini-games, traffic consumption will be significantly lower.
The studio confirmed that it is actively working to optimize graphics, simulation and memory behavior, as well as to release the game on Linux and Mac as soon as possible. At the moment, Hytale is most demanding in single-player mode, where the computer simultaneously runs both the game client and the simulation server.
Hytale will release in Early Access on January 13, 2026, with pre-orders opening on December 13, 2026.
