Palworld server hosting High RAM (16 GB minimum) + multi-core CPU for creature AI

VPS Dedicated

Recommended configurations

Palworld is one of the most RAM-hungry survival games. The creature AI, base building simulation, and world state demand substantial memory — plan for 16 GB minimum.

Why Palworld needs specific hardware

16 GB RAM is the real minimum

The Palworld developers recommend 16 GB RAM for a server. Running on 8 GB is possible but expect memory pressure and occasional crashes.

Creature AI taxes the CPU

Each Pal has AI routines that run constantly. High player counts with many active Pals require multiple strong cores.

World saves grow quickly

Player bases, Pal captures, and world state accumulate fast. Start with at least 40 GB storage and monitor usage.

Update frequently

Palworld releases frequent patches that fix memory leaks and crashes. Full root access lets you update your server immediately on patch day.

Frequently asked questions

How many players does 16 GB RAM support?

Pocketpair recommends 16 GB RAM for a public server. At this spec, 16 players with moderate base building runs smoothly. For 32 players with multiple large bases and many active Pals, 32 GB RAM is safer.

Can I customise game settings like XP rates?

Yes. The PalWorldSettings.ini file lets you configure experience multipliers, drop rates, day speed, Pal capture rates, and more. Edit via SSH and restart your server.

Do all players need to own Palworld?

Yes. Every connecting player needs their own copy of Palworld on Steam. The dedicated server binary itself is free to download and run.

How do I update the server after a Pocketpair patch?

Run SteamCMD with the update command for Palworld's app ID. Full root access means you can update immediately on patch day without waiting for a control panel.

Can I transfer my existing save to a dedicated server?

Yes. Palworld stores save data in specific folders you can copy via SFTP. The community has well-documented migration guides that work reliably for most save configurations.

Palworld server hosting requires more resources than most survival games. The game's creature AI, base building simulation, and persistent world state are memory-intensive — Pocketpair recommends at least 16 GB RAM for a public server. Running Palworld on less than 16 GB will work for very small groups but will cause crashes as player bases grow. For 16+ players with active Pals and multiple bases, a VPS or dedicated server with 16–32 GB RAM is the reliable choice. Dedimax provides full root access so you can configure Palworld server settings, adjust creature density, and update the server binary as new patches release.
