Connecting to your Hytale server is straightforward once your server is running and you have the connection details. Whether you want to quickly jump in via direct connection or save the server for later, Hytale provides two simple ways to join.

This guide walks you through both methods step by step.

Hytale dedicated servers must authenticate with Hytale services to enable API communication, access Hytale APIs, and help prevent abuse. By default, servers provided through a Game Server Provider (GSP) are authenticated using the provider’s account.

However, servers authenticated via a GSP account will not appear in future Server Discovery. If you want your server to be publicly discoverable later on, you must authenticate it using your own Hytale account.

This guide walks you through switching from Game Server Provider (GSP) authentication to personal account authentication using the official Hytale device login flow, the recommended setup for future Server Discovery.
