Squad server requirements
What the server needs before you pick a size. 8 GB of RAM is the minimum.
- RAM
- 8 GB minimum. Every extra gigabyte is $1 a month and can be added or removed later without a reinstall.
- CPU
- Heavy: 100 players and vehicles on one thread. A fast core and 8 to 12 GB.
- Disk
- Around 100 GB with all layers; keep headroom for mods.
- Ports
- Game, query and RCON ports, assigned for you.
- Mods and plugins
- Steam Workshop mods and maps; players download them on join.
- Your existing world
- Nothing persistent between matches; configs and admin lists live in the server folder.
Start from a preset
When you create a Squad server, pick one of these and every setting is filled in. Change any field, or save a running server's setup as your own preset.

What a Squad server costs
You pay for RAM, not for the title: a server slot is $2.50 a month with 1 GB and 30 GB of storage, and every gigabyte after that is $1. A year is ten months. The same subscription runs Squad today and anything else we host tomorrow.

PC on Steam.
Crossplay

Regions and latency
Pick Europe or North America when you create the server. North America has nodes on the east coast and the west coast, Europe in the west, all on NVMe storage with DDoS protection in front. Players on the same continent as the server see 20 to 60 ms, which Squad handles well; a group split across the Atlantic should host where most of them are. Changing region later is a backup, a new server in the other region, and a restore.
Frequently asked questions
- How much RAM does a Squad server need?
- 8 GB is the floor for a smaller server. Plan 12 to 16 GB for a full 80 to 100 player server. Squad also cares a lot about fast single core CPU speed, which our machines provide.
- Do I need a server license from Offworld?
- No. Unlicensed servers run out of the box and show up in the Custom Servers tab of the in-game browser. If you later qualify for a license, you can add it to your config through the file manager.
- How do I make people admins?
- Add admin groups and SteamID64 entries to Admins.cfg via the file manager, then restart. For live moderation you can kick, ban, warn and broadcast over RCON from the panel console.
- How do I change the map rotation?
- Edit LayerRotation.cfg with one layer per line and pick the matching rotation mode in Server.cfg. Changes apply on restart, or switch layers instantly with AdminChangeLayer from the console.
