Being able to play with friends in Hytale and have them join you as you explore is useful. It's a big world and a lot of it wants to hurt you as you adventure out. Not to mention there's so much to look for, gather and build, help is always good. Fortunately, it's super easy to allow friends to join you, or for you to join them, even if there isn't an immediately obvious multiplayer menu to guide you. Here's what to do.

To let friends join in Hytale you'll first need to change the settings to allow other players to find you and meet up. You'll then be able to generate a code you can send to people so they can visit you in your world. Here's how to do that:

  1. Open the menu and select Online Play
  2. Change the top 'Allow other players to join' option from 'Off' to 'On' and hit Save
  3. This will make a Share Code you can then copy via the Copy to Clipboard option.

Once you have the code, send it to your friends and they'll be able to join you and play along in your world.

To join a friend in Hytale you'll first need a code, which can be generated by the person you want to join, via the method explained above. Once you have it, click on Servers on the main menu and when this menu opens look for the 'Join Via Code' option on the bottom right of the screen. Click on that to get the screen above which will let you paste in the code you've been given and join that world.
