Palworld’s open-world survival mechanics demand more from a server than most games. With up to 32 players exploring, building, and fighting simultaneously, the server must handle AI pathfinding for hundreds of Pals, persistent world state, physics interactions, and real-time player synchronization. Running Palworld on a shared host or underpowered VPS leads to lag, Pal despawn issues, and corrupted saves. This guide covers the exact hardware you need for a dedicated server for Palworld<\/strong> and compares the best hosting providers. For a complete overview, see our comparison table<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palworld Server Hardware Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on extensive testing with 8-32 player servers running Palworld v0.3+, here are the hardware requirements at each tier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPU is the bottleneck.<\/strong> Palworld’s server process is heavily single-threaded. The tick rate (how often the game world updates) drops sharply below 3.5 GHz, causing desync between players \u2014 Pals appear to teleport, buildings fail to render, and combat hits register late. An Intel Xeon E-2388G (8C\/16T, 5.1 GHz boost) is ideal for Palworld servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why RAM Matters for Palworld<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Palworld is RAM-hungry compared to other survival games. Here’s what we observed in testing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
