Why host StarRupture with Multiplayer Rally
The January 2026 early-access breakout. Its dedicated server shipped marked 'experimental' and is still a moving target, so our recipe tracks it closely. A UE5 factory sim wants a reasonably strong PC.
- Heavy server: StarRupture is one of the bigger ones, around 8-16 GB. You'll want a PC with that much RAM to spare on top of everything else.
- Runs the official StarRupture server on Windows. We download it from the publisher and keep the runtime patched.
- Your StarRupture world stays set up between sessions. The app handles restarts, updates, and the relay link so the squad can drop in whenever you're online.
How hosting StarRupture works
- Step 01
Install Multiplayer Rally
One Windows app. It installs and manages the StarRupture dedicated server for you. No command line, no config files.
- Step 02
Pick StarRupture
We set the ports, the settings, and the restart schedule. You pick the world name and who's allowed in.
- Step 03
Share your link
You get one address your friends paste into the game, and they're in. Nothing to install on their side, no port forwarding on yours.
StarRupture hosting questions
Plan on 8-16 GB of free RAM for a friend-group server. Your PC needs that on top of whatever else it's running; the app checks before installing.
Yes, that's the whole point. The agent on your PC makes an outbound connection to our relay, so you never touch your router. Your friends connect to the relay address and the traffic is tunneled to your StarRupture server. Nothing is exposed to the open internet.
Yes. Each player needs their own copy of StarRupture to join your server. We host the server side; the game itself comes from the store like always.
StarRupture is in our planned launch catalog. Join the waitlist, pick StarRupture as your game, and we'll email you when it's live.
Your PC is the server, so the world is offline until you turn it back on, then it's right where you left it. The agent restarts StarRupture for you automatically. An always-on managed tier on our hardware comes later.
