Can You Preload Hytale on PC? Answered
Almost time.
Hytale is only a few days away from its early access launch and available now to pre-order through its official website. You can confirm your purchase, create a username, and get ready for the long-awaited launch. That said, what about preloading Hytale? Here is everything you need to know.
Can You Preload Hytale on PC?
No, you can’t preload Hytale on PC and the game will be available to download once it’s out. Hytale isn’t the most heavy title when it comes to storage requirements and for most users, it shouldn’t take long to get into the action at release.
After pre-ordering Hytale, you can still download the launcher through the official website and install it on your PC. This allows you to set up the storage paths so you only need to initiate the download once it’s officially available.

While you only need 8 GB of free space to install Hytale, the game can require around 20 GB after a few sessions due to world generation. To ensure a smooth experience, it is best to have at least 20 GB of free SSD storage available. Compared to most modern releases, this is still on the lower end for a sandbox game.
